Rhythms for Life

Last week’s episode discussed the input rhythms (rest and restore). This week, Gabe and Rebekah emphasize the importance of the output rhythms (connect and create). When our bodies and minds are rested and restored, we are then able to go out and empower others and utilize the gifts and talents that God has uniquely designed for each of us. After all, being filled up isn't just for your benefit, but for the benefit of those around you.As we continue to navigate an unknown season that could easily ignite worry and fear, it’s crucial to intentionally connect with our people and continue dreaming. There is a sacredness of unity that happens when we assemble together. Take the time identify the things that make your heart come alive and then go do those things! LINKS:The Rhythms for Life Planner & Journal is out today!!

Often times, the fear of not knowing how to pray can be the very thing that turns us away. It can seem intimidating, but the reality is that there is no right way to pray. God wants to speak to you and hear from you in the same way that your friend or family member does. This conversation with Chrystal Evans Hurst reminds us  just that. Chrystal encourages the listeners to start where you are and focus on just taking it one day at a time. Her new book "The 28-Day Prayer Journey" includes a step-by-step process on how to begin an intimate relationship with God through prayer. Chrystal is a deep well of knowledge and wisdom, and it is a gift for Gabe and Rebekah to have this conversation with her today.LINKS:Grab a copy of The 28-Day Prayer Journey here!Interested in attending the Renewal Retreat?
