Wouldn't it be nice if life would just slow down? Or if we could just simplify things a bit? Over the last few years, I've found myself craving a simpler life. One where things are slow and intentional. Days where I am present where I am instead of being filled with the hustle and bustle of life or just mind-numbing activities. Today we'll talk about slowing down by becoming more intentional and less distracted. The book mentioned in today's podcast is, "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" by John Mark Comer. Journal questions: What is a mind-numbing activity that is filling your time? Take a look at your phone statsHow many hours of screen time do you average each day? How many pick-ups do you average?Aside from your phone, are there any other distractions that are causing you to be busy and not present with those in your life? Take 5 minutes today and unplug everything. If possible, go outside, and be still with God. Journal how you felt after your time in stillness. PS-it's okay if it wasn't easy the first time. I still struggle with this. What is one thing you could change today to start being more present in your life? _____All of our live prayer and workout classes are at no cost!

Have you ever felt like you can't handle everything God is putting on your plate? Do you feel like a failure because you just can't seem to get through it all? Today we'll see what happens when God gives us something we can't handle, how to humble ourselves before Him and live a life with His strength guiding us. Journal questions: Reflect on a time when there was something in your life that you felt like you couldn't handle on your own. How did you try to overcome the thing that you thought you couldn't handle? Do you tend to use your own strength or God's strength when life gets hard? How is pride telling you that you can overcome whatever comes your way? Do you need to make any shifts in your life to live in humility instead of pride? _____All of our live prayer and workout classes are at no cost!

Over the last few weeks, we've seen that Jesus is our light in the storm and what helps guide us through the darkness. Yet, what happens as we work our way out of the darkness? How can we use the struggles and storms for a bigger purpose and meaning? Today we'll look at the other side of the storm, how light can continue to shine after the storm, and our role in spreading it. Journal questions: Reflect on Matthew 5: 14-16How has the enemy tried to minimize your storms and stop you from sharing God's goodness in them? (AKA put a bowl over your light)How is God asking you to set your light on a stand? Is there anyone on your heart who could use God's light and presence in their life? How could your storms help guide them in what they are facing? _____All of our live prayer and workout classes are at no cost!

What happens when storms come, and you're sitting in the rubble of what you've built? Should you even build again? If fear keeps you on the sidelines trying to avoid the pain of loss from storms, let's look at what Jesus says. Journal questions: Where in your life are you currently building on a “sandy” surface? Does this cause you to fear or worry? Have you felt the loss of a storm coming and destroying something you've built? Read the “Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew chapters 5-7Which area stood out to you most? Are there areas in your life you need to take down and rebuild on Jesus? How would life change if you built everything that you do on Jesus?_____All of our live prayer and workout classes are at no cost!

If you've found yourself in a place where it feels like you're walking in darkness or that you bounce from light to darkness over and over, Jesus wants to be the light that never fails to shine. Today we'll see how the enemy gives us a false sense of light to lead us just long enough so that we find ourselves in the middle of the darkness with a light that he plans to turn off. Journal questions: Have you ever been guided by a light that wasn't Jesus and felt the results of it going out on you? How did that leave you feeling?Read Acts 26: 4-18What “lights of the world” was Paul following before he encountered Jesus?How did the light of Jesus cause a radical change in Paul? What “light” is guiding you in your life that isn't Jesus? What shifts do you need to make to let Jesus be your guiding light?Read Psalm 139What stood out to you most in this psalm?How does it feel to know that no matter where you go, God will be with you?_____All of our live prayer and workout classes are at no cost!

As we walk through this journey of life, there will be seasons where it seems like the light has gone out. Or perhaps it's still there, but clouds are covering yoru view. What do you do when it feels like the light has gone out? Journal questions: Read Acts 16: 16-40What is your first response when something unfair happens to you? What song or prayer can be your weapon when the darkness falls? What resulted from Paul and Silas praying and keeping the faith even when the world turned dark? What did it take to be saved? (Hint: verse 31) Write a note to yourself for the next time you find yourself in a dark situation. Find a few stories of scripture that remind you that God is faithful even when the world feels dark. You may even list a few songs you can sing when that moment arises. _____All of our live prayer and workout classes are at no cost!

Wouldn't it be nice if we had an internal guiding force? A guide that could take us on our path and tell us when we missed a turn? After Jesus went into heaven, he had a gift to leave for all of us. Today we see what happened on Pentecost and what this means for us. Journal questions: What distractions are keeping you from slowing down and connecting with the Holy Spirit? Where are you currently at with your journey with God? Are you following is guide? Do you feel like you're lost? Are you trying to find your way back but keep missing your course? What is one thing you can do today to sit down and be present with God? How would life be different if you were able to spend time with God and feel the Holy Spirit guiding you throughout your day?_____All of our live prayer and workout classes are at no cost!

Shame and guilt can so easily work their way into our hearts. The enemy wants us to hold onto our mistakes, carry them with us, and live a life trapped by our brokenness.

Christmas is a season with so much joy and hope, but it can also be filled with so much sadness, hurt, and pain. If you are walking in a season of darkness, we are going to see why the Christmas story is for you. We will walk through Mary & Joseph's journey in the beginning of Jesus' story, which included struggle. God will remind us that just because darkness comes, it doesn't mean that His plan has failed. We are called to trust in His timing and to surrender our plans for our life to live out His plans that He has created us for. _______DURING ADVENT ONLY: All of our LIVE prayer and workout classes are free of charge.

Let's slow down today as we dive into the Advent season. Advent is a season filled with waiting and preparation. It's a time to slow down and reflect. However, if you're like me and you've fallen into the trends of the world, this season feels anything like slow and calm. I want to help you find the peace that comes in the Christmas season by running back to Jesus. We'll also walk through finding joy in the waiting and how you have already received the only gift you have ever wanted. _______DURING ADVENT ONLY: All of our LIVE prayer and workout classes are free of charge.
