We were designed to dream, and to take responsibility for those dreams. We were made for meaning. Today's episode on the Quarantine Rhythms series is meant to ignite a spark in each of us on recognizing those hidden talents, hopes, and dreams that over the last several years or decades of our lives may have been brushed to the side. For some of us, we may immediately know what those are and be abl...

We simply cannot be bearers of the truth and preach the word if we are not in fellowship personally with Jesus. When we are close to Him and make that room for Him, it overflows into everything and everyone around us. We cannot serve from emptiness - using our own words and thoughts to give direction to others. It is a daily rhythm of spending time with the Lord and falling more in love with Him t...

Walking is critical for the restoration of our mental health, creativity, and productivity.   We wa...

We are so grateful to have Lisa Whittle  on today's episode! Lisa reminds us that in a world where noise and distractions are pulling at us from every direction, it is much easier to make decisions when the right priority order is set in motion.
