Your emotions are not your enemy. They are a gift. Feelings are messy, and we all have different strategies for dealing with them—usually controlling, avoiding, or indulging them. But what if you allowed yourself to follow your feelings in prayer instead of trying to run from them?
We cannot go one day without hearing these words from friends, co-workers, family members, and sisters in Christ. No matter the season of life – college student, young mother, business executive, teacher, ministry leader, empty-nester, or retiree – we women long for margin, rest, and affirmation that all our efforts mean something. Does anyone even see, let alone appreciate, how HARD we are working? Surely, there must be a purpose beyond this daily grind that overwhelms our schedules and hearts.
Could you take a break from cooking (and everything else) once a week? Not only is rest vital for your mind and body, but it’s good for your soul, too. God designed us to enter into Sabbath rest one day per week, but as you know, meals still need to be made. Your family still needs to be fed. Kathi Lipp is on the show, providing an easy-to-follow process for meal planning and prep so that we can enjoy a full day each week of real rest and refreshment.
Life feeling out of control? Overwhelmed and need a break? Join us for a reset that will help you let go of what’s not serving you, honor your limitations, and turn your gaze toward a God who loves who you. We spend a lot of time looking down. Mostly at our phones. Sometimes at ourselves. The artificial blue light in our eyes makes us anxious about the world. It makes us chase trends that have nothing to do with who we want to be. It causes us to put time, energy, and brain space into what won’t last.
Have you been struggling to see God lately? Today’s episode weaves biblical and historical stories from Jesus-followers turns our gaze again to the One who made us, loves us, and will never leave us. Join us as Jack Mooring chats about his book Portrait of God where he explores an attribute of God through a person in church history who radically experienced His nature. When our spiritual life feels like a roller coaster, true stories of faithful Christians help us rediscover our wonder about the unchanging character of our Creator.
