Here Not There: Finding Our Way Back to Presence, Connection, & Delight

Here Not There is a Christian podcast about coming home to ourselves by slowing down and honestly acknowledging where we’ve been, where we really are, and how our stories shape the way we live. In a culture of productivity, pretending, and performance, we explore resisting a divided life in exchange for being fully alive in the here and now. The Divine meets us in these quiet and honest places of our lives to invite us into a life of flourishing. Rooted in contemplative practice and trauma-informed insight, mental health therapist, author, and speaker Colleen Ramser invites listeners into a sabbath way of living marked by presence, connection, and delight.

  • Elyse Fitzpatrick's Journey to Flourishing
    Jun 1 2026

    In this episode Colleen interviews Elyse Fitzpatrick about her decades-long journey from a strict complementarian context to a place of conviction, peace, and flourishing. Elyse explains how careful study of Scripture, honest conversations, and difficult choices led her to step out of a system that silenced her gifts and into a church where she can preach, teach, and serve freely.

    The conversation addresses recent public statements about women’s roles in the church, the personal cost of leaving entrenched systems, and the deep joy and presence Elyse now experiences. It’s an encouraging, candid look at faithfulness, vocation, and finding delight in serving Jesus authentically.

    Travis shares metaphors for time, tools like threshold rituals and micro-Sabbaths, and the balance of courageous attention with joyful distraction to heal from grief and prevent escapism.
