Life comes at us fast. Sometimes, all we need is a lifeline tossed our way, reminding us we can make it to the other side. Breathe deep. Take it slow. Keep it steady.
In today’s culture, we hear: “Hustle!” or “Slow down!” We are either prodded into endless activity and productivity or told that we really need to prioritize rest, relaxation, and simply “being.” Is it any wonder we feel torn in every direction, worried we’re missing the opportunities God has placed before us while at the same time feeling guilty that we’re doing too much?
With all of this distraction, it’s hard to keep focus on what matters most: God and His nearness in this very moment. Katie Westenberg is on the show today, helping us to focus on what truly matters. Leaning on Scripture, scientific studies of memory, and the power of a renewed mind, she will help you uncover the ancient way of being un-distractible. Here is the wake-up call our hearts are longing for–and the clear-eyed focus our souls were made for.
Modern culture demands tireless ambition and determination. Consequently, we sometimes become restless walking with God in a world that sprints. However, the men and women in First and Second Samuel knew this struggle too. Liv Dooley has written the Selah Bible Study and today she is revealing and reminding us of our access to the powerful presence of the Lord when we pause to pray despite the pressures we face.
Life often sends hard things our way: illness, financial struggles, broken relationships, and so many kinds of loss. Sometimes we can’t imagine a way forward. So how do we keep going when everything is going wrong? Rachel Wojo is on the show today, sharing how hope rises to greet us when we find the strength to take One. More. Step.
