In this episode of the Take Care and Live podcast, Dr. Stephen V. Peters discusses the concept of momentum thieves, focusing on the importance of discerning when and with whom to share dreams and visions. He emphasizes the difference between a dream, which is an inspirational mental picture, and a vision, which consists of actionable steps to bring that dream to fruition. Using the biblical story of Joseph, he illustrates the potential pitfalls of sharing dreams prematurely and the necessity for dreams to mature into visions through careful planning and timing.Learn how to let your dream mature into a vision, protect it from sabotage, and nurture it to serve others.New Book Available, wherever books are sold!The Momentum List: Rediscover Your Ability to Delight in Time, Rather than Be Mastered by It - - --Amazon - https://a.co/d/ch0ImnaBarnes & Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-momentum-list-stephen-peters/1146966970?ean=9798991919517 Available whenever books are sold!

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Ki Savo, the seventh portion in the Book of Deuteronomy, focusing on Deuteronomy 26:11, which instructs the Jewish people to rejoice in all the goodness given by Hashem, including to their households, the Levites, and converts. Rabbi Wolbe, citing the Orachaim HaKadosh, emphasizes that this "goodness" refers to the Torah, described as sweeter than honey, capable of transforming negative traits like arrogance or anger into positive ones, as it extracts impurities, much like honey purifies non-kosher items over time. He shares personal anecdotes, such as his excitement at understanding Talmud for the first time at age 15, and stories of great sages like the Steipler, who survived freezing conditions through immersion in Torah study, and Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, whose Torah focus influenced even physical phenomena like a flickering light at his passing.Rabbi Wolbe underscores the Torah's transformative power, urging listeners to engage with its living, relevant teachings daily, as exemplified by his grandfather's advice to study a verse before leaving home to shield against temptation. He connects the parsha to current events, noting the Torah's status as a "tree of life" that energizes and elevates, encouraging listeners to embrace its sweetness with passion and commitment, especially during Elul, and concludes with a blessing for deeper Torah connection._____________This episode (Ep 7.46) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Ki Savo is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 9, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on September 11, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!

In this special behind-the-scenes episode, you're invited to pull up a chair at the Proverbs 31 Ministries staff meeting as Lysa TerKeurst shares a powerful teaching on what to do when we feel tempted to take control of a situation or step in where it seems God isn't doing what we think He should do. If you've ever wrestled with trusting the Lord when the outcome is uncertain, this message will encourage you with the truth that He is good, faithful, and active in whatever you're facing right now. You'll learn about:The difference between control (everything depends on me) and stewardship (I'll be responsible, but I trust God with the outcome).How surrender leads to peace and positions you to recognize God's faithfulness in your everyday life.A real-life testimony of how one small act of obedience can change everything (you might want to grab a few tissues for this one!).Click here to download a transcript of this episodeResources From This Episode:Learn more about Proverbs 31 Ministries: proverbs31.org.Gain more encouragement from Lysa TerKeurst on the Therapy & Theology podcast.Support Proverbs 31 Ministries, and help women around the world hear biblical Truth: Give here.Go deeper with study content created by women, for women.

Jimmy Peña is a hospitality executive, best-selling author, and nonprofit leader whose career spans luxury hotels, estate operations, publishing, and ministry. A graduate of Baylor University and the University of Texas at Tyler, Jimmy began in the world of health and fitness — becoming Worldwide Fitness Editor for Muscle & Fitness and M&F Hers, co-writing the New York Times bestseller Extra Lean with Mario Lopez. But as he explains in this episode, a childhood experience of “radical hospitality” shaped his view of service and ultimately led him to the Ritz-Carlton, where he earned the prestigious Leader of the Year Award and discovered hospitality as his true calling.Today, Jimmy serves as Director of Estate Operations for a private, ultra-high-net-worth individual, overseeing world-class service standards and asset management. He also consults with families, estates, and businesses, helping them elevate their operations and culture by drawing on Ritz-Carlton–inspired practices.In this conversation, Jimmy reflects on what he's learned along the way — from the role of structure and standards in elevating service, to why stewardship is central to hospitality, and how caring for people, places, and moments brings both delight and dignity to the work we do. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of service as stewardship — and how to lead with both heart and excellence in every guest experience.

SummaryEver had a win that left you feeling kind of empty—or a failure that made you want to quit? I've been there too, friend. In this episode, I'm sharing how Father's been using both my wins and my flops as training ground. You'll hear how to celebrate without camping out, how to turn failures into fertilizer, and how to aim for the real summit—becoming more like Jesus in every season of business and life.TakeawaysWins are fuel stations, not finish lines.Failure provides data for your next faithful step.Father uses both to shape you for greater capacity.Dopamine can keep you replaying the same level—watch for that loop.David's lion and bear prepared him for Goliath; Goliath wasn't the summit either.Romans 8:28–29 reframes outcomes around formation into Christ's image.Real success is the woman you're becoming as you build.Practical journaling turns “flops” into growth plans.Celebrate boldly, then move forward.Greater glory equals greater Christ-likeness in how you serve.Quotes“Celebrate the win—just don't set up camp on it.”“Failure isn't a verdict; it's fertilizer.”“The summit isn't a bigger number. It's greater Christ-likeness.”Courageous ActionThis week, grab your journal and walk through these three prompts:Celebrate a Win – Write down one recent victory, thank Father for it, and note the next step it's preparing you for.Reframe a Flop – Pick one thing that didn't go the way you hoped. Instead of labeling it wasted, write down one lesson you can carry forward.Check the Reflection – Ask, “Where am I becoming more like Christ in this season?” and, “Where do I want to grow next?” Write one small step to help you grow in that area.Chapters00:08 Wins, flops, and “now what?”02:01 Series recap + today's focus04:20 Failure story: Courageous Club 1.006:46 Win story: highest-paying client09:13 Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:1811:39 Truth #1: Celebrate, but don't camp16:26 Dopamine loop + examples18:33 Truth #2: Wins & failures prepare you23:29 Romans 8:28–29 + David25:44 Truth #3: Greater glory = Christ-likeness33:30 Courageous Action + journalingWho Am I?Heather Bunch – The Courageous CoachCertified life & Enneagram coach, speaker, author of Hello Courageous.

We are as near to Heaven by sea as by land.” On this day, 9 September 1583, Sir Humphrey Gilbert's tiny ship, the Squirrel, disappeared in an Atlantic storm, and an audacious Elizabethan life ended in a flash of foam and darkness. I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway, and today we follow Gilbert's extraordinary arc: Devon gentleman and half-brother to Sir Walter Ralegh; soldier praised at Newhaven and feared in Munster for brutal tactics; polemicist for a Northwest Passage and English colonisation; MP who clashed in Parliament; and, finally, patent-holder who sailed to Newfoundland and claimed St John's for Queen Elizabeth I, before disaster struck on the homeward voyage. In this episode: Gilbert's powerful family network (Kat Ashley & the Ralegh connection) Soldier and strategist: praise in France, terror in Ireland Pen and policy: A Discourse of a Discoverie & dreams of an academy The 1583 voyage: The Delight, the Golden Hind, the Swallow, and the fateful Squirrel Claiming St John's—and losing men, charts, and nerve in a wreck The storm off the Azores and Gilbert's haunting last words Legacy: how his vision fed later English ventures in the New World If you enjoy these daily Tudor deep dives, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell so you don't miss the next one. #TudorHistory #OnThisDay #Elizabethan #Exploration #Newfoundland #SirHumphreyGilbert #WalterRaleigh
Truth is progressively revealed, but that doesn't deny that seeds of future full-grown truths are found early on.

When marriage feels tired or transactional, it's time to return to the Source. In this Sunday Recalibration, discover how identity alignment before God creates intimacy that lasts — even when life feels loud and connection feels distant.Most high-capacity couples didn't enter marriage hoping to become roommates. You wanted real connection. Enduring intimacy. A shared rhythm that felt as grounded as it was loving.But over time — especially in the weight of parenting, leadership, and the constant pressure to do more — that intimacy can erode. Not always dramatically. Sometimes, it's just a quiet drifting.And before you know it, you're managing logistics more than connection… showing up out of duty instead of desire.This Sunday Recalibration invites you to remember what marriage was meant to be — not a performance, but a sacred covenant. Not a contract of convenience, but a reflection of God's relational nature.Drawing on Ephesians 5, Genesis 2, the wisdom of Tim Keller and Dan Allender, and her own personal story, Julie Holly shares how vertical identity alignment is the only foundation strong enough to hold a marriage — especially in seasons of weariness, role fatigue, or emotional distance.Inside today's episode: • Why deeper intimacy starts with God, not with marriage work • How Identity-Level Recalibration supports both spiritual and relational repair • Why performance and control block presence — and how to return to truth • A 3-part Micro Recalibration to help you reconnect at the rootThis episode is for every couple craving restoration — and for the high performers quietly carrying relational fatigue behind closed doors. Whether you're faith-filled or simply curious, this is a space where sacred truth meets real-life application.Micro Recalibration:In what ways have I made marriage about performance or control — instead of covenant?Where do I need to return to God with my identity — so I can return to my spouse with grace?What would shift in our intimacy if I saw my spouse as a reflection of God's image — and myself the same?Linked Resources:Seven Principles to Making Marriage Work by John Gottman PhD and Nan Silver The Deep-Rooted Marriage: Cultivating Intimacy, Healing, and Delight by Dr. Dan B.

Trollope enthusiasts Tom Crewe and Dinah Birch say they could have chosen any one of his 47 novels for this episode, so it's no wonder Elizabeth Bowen called him ‘the most sheerly able of the Victorian novelists'. They settled on The Last Chronicle of Barset: a model example of Anthony Trollope's gift for comedy, pathos, social commentary and masterful dialogue. At the heart of Last Chronicle is a mystery: how did the impoverished Reverend Crawley get his hands on a cheque for £20 that no one can account for, and is he capable of theft? The scandal has dire repercussions not only for Reverend Crawley, but the whole county: his ostracision raises broader questions about inequity in the church; it sparks rifts between his daughter, her would-be husband and his parents; and it gives his young relative Johnny Eames an excuse to flee the entanglements of London high society for the continent, in search of the only man who may be able to solve the puzzle. Although it's the final book in the Barchester series, Last Chronicle can be read as a standalone novel, and Tom and Dinah join Thomas Jones to explore its sensitivities, ambivalences and sheer readability.

Do you ever feel like Bible reading has become routine? Maybe life’s distractions, spiritual fatigue, or lack of inspiration have dulled your passion for God’s Word. But Scripture reminds us that “the word of God is living and active” (Hebrews 4:12)—it’s not just words on a page, but a divine conversation meant to transform our hearts. Joe Navarro, known online as @joechristianguy encourages us in today's prayer and devotional to approach the Bible not as a chore, but as a gift from our loving Father. By asking God to renew our desire for His Word, experimenting with new ways of study, and remembering that Scripture is for transformation, not just information, we can rediscover joy in meeting God daily through His truth. Main Takeaways God’s Word is living and active—it has power to refresh our weary souls. Prayer is the starting point: ask God to rekindle your hunger for Scripture. Changing your approach—like trying a new translation, using audio Bible, or joining a group—can spark renewed excitement. Bible study is not just about knowledge, but about transformation. Delight, not obligation, is what God desires for us as we engage His Word. Bible Verse References Hebrews 4:12 – God’s Word is living and active. Psalm 119:18 – Open my eyes to see wondrous things in Your law.

When marriage breaks — through betrayal, burnout, or quiet distance — it's not a tactic that restores intimacy. It's identity. This episode invites you to rebuild from the root and rediscover what still wants to last.What if the intimacy you long for isn't lost — it's just buried beneath years of survival, performance, and quiet fractures no one taught you how to name?In this episode of The Recalibration, we're speaking directly to the high-capacity human who's been holding it all together — at home, at work, in leadership — while quietly wondering: Can this marriage really be healed?Whether you've weathered betrayal or are just living in the slow erosion of connection, today's recalibration reveals the one shift that makes rebuilding intimacy possible. Not strategy. Not more effort. But identity.We'll explore:Why intimacy can't be rebuilt through communication tools aloneHow identity fragmentation shows up in relationships — and what to do about itThe difference between fixing the marriage and becoming someone intimacy can reachWhy high performers default to solutions that work everywhere else — but not hereReal examples of restoration, from public figures to private livesAnd how faith, presence, and identity-level alignment till the soil for trust to grow againWe also anchor this episode in the wisdom of Dan Allender, Phil Stutz, John & Stasi Eldredge, and Chip & Joanna Gaines — showing how intimacy isn't about perfection, but transformation.Whether your marriage is “fine,” flailing, or on fire — this is your reminder that you were made for more.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
499-Sinful v. Holy Fierce Intimacy I was confused. There I was a new bride, having saved myself for marriage… only to find out that my new husband wanted me to do SINFUL things. Where did he get all this “inspiration” anyway? Oh, I knew: sinful places. So, of course, I refused. And of course, it brought mutual anger (covering each of our hurt). What's your story? If it's even remotely like mine, I needed to change the lens in which I was viewing sex. I wasn't viewing sex from a biblical standpoint. I was viewing sex from a sexually perverted lens. (Even though I saved my sex for marriage, I certainly received messages from the world that perverted the purity and unashamedness that is meant to be in the bedroom.) I was thinking about a sinful visual I had, at some point, encountered that I knew was wrong. Instead of recognizing the COMPLETELY different and HOLY context of my marriage, I decided the act was associated with my experience that was not God's will. Maybe you've gone through something profoundly tragic, if so, my heart goes out to you. And now you're married and there are so many things that feel hard to move towards because of the past. There is hope. Hope for healing and even hope for desire. Be washed by truth. That's my aim in this conversation. That you will realize that our God is a God of intimacy and freedom in your marriage. When you wash your mind with the truth of His design within the marriage bed, may you slowly wade (or dive in) into the waters of marital intimacy and find out it's nice and warm (with your spouse

Still performing in your relationship? This episode explores how performance sabotages intimacy — and how identity alignment unlocks real partnership, especially for high-capacity couples balancing kids, careers, and emotional overload.Still trying to be “easy,” agreeable, or impressive in your relationship — even when it's costing you? In this episode of The Recalibration, we're naming the hidden performance patterns high-capacity couples carry in marriage… and why they backfire.From emotionally over- functioning to masking true needs, many of us learned to survive by performing. But that performance — even when masked as “support” — sabotages true partnership. Especially in seasons of parenting, leadership, or high demand, the desire to avoid conflict or keep the peace often keeps couples emotionally distant, even when they're physically present.We unpack the quiet difference between improving communication — and being truly seen. Because most marriage tools focus on behavior. ILR addresses the identity beneath the pattern.You'll hear insights from Brendon Burchard, Brené Brown, and Michael Neill… along with the personal story Julie shares of how fear shaped her own performance in marriage — and how identity-level recalibration allowed her to stop striving and start receiving.If you've ever asked yourself:Why do I feel invisible in my own marriage?Why am I exhausted even when things “look fine”?What's the difference between helping and performing?…this episode will give you language, clarity, and a next step.

In the fast-paced, overly scheduled cadence of our culture, it can be hard to fit in Sabbath. But what if Sabbath isn't designed to fit into our busy lives? What if it's supposed to take over our lives? Hebrew scholar and Old Testament professor Travis West is here to help you radically reimagine what it means to Sabbath! And contrary to popular belief, it's not just about taking a day off or creating a list of rules. It's about establishing a rhythm of life that reorders everything. By looking to Scripture and applying lots of grace, Travis explains how Sabbath draws boundaries around your stress and busyness to make space for rest, delight, connection, and joy. You'll hear how Sabbath can transform your relationship with time, why work shouldn't always come before play, and how simple, intentional practices can reorient your days toward the life God actually intends for you. So, if you're tired of exhaustion being your default setting, listen in! This conversation is your invitation to embrace Sabbath—not as a rule, but as a rescue.

You can say all the right things and still miss each other. Discover why emotional honesty—not performance—is the gateway to real connection, and how to break the cycle of surface-level intimacy without sacrificing strength.What if the very thing that makes you successful is also what's silently distancing you from your partner?In today's episode of The Recalibration, we explore emotional honesty in marriage — and why it's so hard for high-capacity humans to access it. You might be articulate, self-aware, and transparent… and still be emotionally unavailable. Julie Holly shares her own journey of emotional detachment disguised as leadership, revealing how high performers often substitute control and composure for true vulnerability — not out of malice, but out of protection.This episode blends real-world storywork, neuroscience, and relationship research from Dr. John Gottman to uncover the invisible gap between what we say and how we actually connect. It's not about mastering conflict scripts or fixing communication. It's about recalibrating identity — so your presence matches your power.You'll hear:Why emotional honesty feels risky to high achieversHow “transparency” can still be a maskWhat Gottman's bids for connection reveal about nervous system safetyHow tiny missed moments create emotional shutdownWhy ILR is not mindset work — it's identity work that restores intimacyHow to lead your marriage with presence, not performanceWhether you're in a long-term relationship or simply desiring deeper emotional connection, this episode invites you to stop calculating and start connecting.Today's Micro Recalibration:Where have I been withholding emotional honesty to protect an image?What truth — even a small one — could I share today that would build intimacy, not distance?For Couples (Recalibration Together):What's one moment recently where you felt I turned toward you — or didn't?This is the kind of clarity that recalibrates more than just your marriage — it shifts your whole life.Linked Resources:Seven Principles to Making Marriage Work by John Gottman PhD and Nan Silver The Deep-Rooted Marriage: Cultivating Intimacy, Healing, and Delight by Dr. Dan B.

Marriage doesn't just reveal our partner's flaws — it reflects our identity misalignments, outdated roles, and legacy patterns that no longer serve us.You'll discover why marriage isn't meant to complete you, but to confront you — lovingly, truthfully, and redemptively. Through personal story, neuroscience, and soul-level insight, this episode offers a new lens on intimacy and transformation.You'll also hear why most marriage advice doesn't work when identity is misaligned — and how Identity-Level Recalibration gives you the clarity and tools to rebuild connection from the inside out.Today's Micro Recalibration:For Personal Reflection:What identity roles or survival patterns have you brought into your relationship?If you paused to see yourself the way your spouse sees you, what might you notice?For Couples (Use Together): If you're in a relationship (you don't have to be married), sit with these questions individually — then come together for a rich, honest conversation:What story or identity role do you think I brought into our marriage?What's one moment where you've felt most seen, safe, or loved by me?What part of your story do you wish I better understood?Whether you're married, divorced, or dreaming of something more aligned — this is your invitation to stop performing, start healing, and recalibrate at the root.Linked Resources:Seven Principles to Making Marriage Work by John Gottman PhD and Nan Silver The Deep-Rooted Marriage: Cultivating Intimacy, Healing, and Delight by Dr. Dan B.

In this heartfelt devotional, Hannah Benson reflects on Psalm 37:4 and God’s promises about the desires of our hearts. While we often pray for dreams, relationships, and opportunities, Hannah reminds us that true fulfillment comes when we delight ourselves in the Lord first. God wants to transform our desires to align with His will — not to give us idols that take His place. Through personal stories and biblical insight, this devotional invites us to surrender control, trust God’s timing, and find contentment in Him above all else. ✨ Highlights The deeper meaning of Psalm 37:4 — why God shapes our desires before He fulfills them How good things like careers, relationships, or ministry dreams can become modern-day idols Why God sometimes says “no” and how His redirection protects our hearts A practical way to test your desires: “If God asked me to give this up, would I?” Encouragement to trust that God’s plan is always better than anything we could imagine

Stephanie Rousselle welcomes Elle Cardel, author of “She Delights”, a book about experiencing delight in God, even during seasons of suffering. Elle offers insight into cultivating deep faith, biblical joy, and intimacy with God. True delight in God is cultivated through deep engagement with Scripture, honest and continuous prayer, and a perspective of gratitude. The spiritual strength to endure hardship flows from knowing God delights in us, not for what we do, but because of Christ. The legacy the believer leaves is a testimony that “nothing satisfies like Jesus”—a lesson to pass on in both word and life. Elle Cardel emphasizes that shallow faith—one reliant on mere Sunday attendance, occasional Bible verses, or inspirational talks—cannot sustain us through life's inevitable hardships. True resilience in faith comes from immersing ourselves in God's Word, not just secondhand knowledge from others. Elle describes this as becoming “Bible geeks”—students eager to soak up the living and active Word of God so that, when suffering comes, our roots are deep, and we know God is with us. This depth equips us to see suffering as an environment where God delights to meet and transform us. Elle distinguishes joy from happiness. Happiness fluctuates with circumstances, whereas joy is a fruit of the Spirit and accessible to us at all times, especially when we choose it. Elle shares a deeply personal story about her daughter Selah's medical crisis, during which Elle discovered that grief and joy can coexist. Through vulnerability and seeking God in her private pain, Elle experienced God's palpable presence—realizing that delighting in God amid suffering is an act of worship, not the result of easy circumstances. Stephanie and Elle discuss the importance of savoring life—choosing to rejoice in what is, rather than fixating on what is not. They encourage us to approach life with the mindset of “savoring,” which, in French, connects closely to both delight and deliciousness. This means joy is something to be tasted and experienced, even in dark valleys, by recognizing God's blessings and presence in small, everyday moments. Spiritual disciplines such as regular Bible reading and prayer should be established before crisis hits. These practices are like the roots of the tree in Psalm 1, deep and sustaining even in seasons of drought. Elle acknowledges that motivation may wane, but real change comes from choosing to meet God in His Word, pushing past feelings of laziness or intimidation, and allowing scripture to transform us over time—just as food nourishes the body slowly. Elle describes prayer as both lifeblood and lifeline—a means of connecting honestly with God. Prayer need not be formal or perfect; it's about bringing every emotion and mundane task before God and seeking His presence in all aspects of life. She recommends practical habits like breath prayers and attaching prayer to daily activities, making prayer natural and constant. Elle stresses that all intimacy and delight with God are rooted not in performance, but in grace— through “imputed righteousness:” We are loved and delighted in by God because of what Jesus accomplished. Our spiritual effort doesn't earn His acceptance; instead, we respond in joyful obedience out of gratitude for His love. Our identity as beloved children of God is secure in Christ. Delighting in God is not a shallow cliché. It is a sustaining, daily posture, rooted in His delight in us and nourished by intentional habits, steadfast faith, and the overwhelming grace found in Jesus. MORE ABOUT ELLE CARDEL Hi! I'm Elle Cardel (yep, it rhymes!), a sinner saved by God's great redeeming love and grace, wife to my college sweetheart, Michael, and mother to our two little loves, Selah and Aidan! I was born and raised in the south and live in the heart of middle Tennessee with my family. (Although, some may find that hard to believe since I cannot stand the taste of sweet tea.) I'm a full-time coffee-sipper, word-writer, friend-hugger, book-reader, shower-singer, and DIY-dreamer. Most importantly, I delight in encouraging women of faith to be proactive in their pursuit of knowing God and delighting in the truths of His Word. I do not take this responsibility God has entrusted to me lightly. Needless to say, I'm so glad you are here and hope you will choose to stick around! https://www.daughterofdelight.com/who-we-are MORE ABOUT SHE DELIGHTS In a world that tempts us to chase after temporary joys and fleeting pleasures, the call to delight in the Lord remains firm and true. But what does it actually mean to delight in Him? And how can we cultivate a life that reflects that joy—even in the hardest seasons? She Delights: Cultivating a Heart That Reigns & Sustains is an invitation to experience the joy and strength found in abiding in Christ. Through biblical wisdom, personal reflections, and thought-provoking insights, this book will guide you toward a deeper understanding of what it means to live a life anchored in God's goodness. We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

Details and registration here: https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer There are a few things in our Christian life that we know we should do more, or at least better – and prayer just might top the list. Prayer is a mystery. Why would a conversation with a human have any influence on God's eternal, sovereign plan? It defies logic, and beckons love. How can God, the Almighty Lord of Hosts, be this close, this personal? It defies understanding, and beckons involvement. But, lack of time, inspiration, and discipline, combined with the ruthless tyranny of our busy lives, push prayer to the periphery, to the “one day I'll get to it” pile. And yet, we can excel at what we endeavor to undertake. So, why isn't prayer more of a spiritual priority? Could we develop a mindset around prayer that made it attractive, inspiring, even maybe delightful? What if we attuned our spiritual ears to listen to God, and our spiritual eyes to see His provision? As an unassuming student, I'm going to humbly offer to share the little I have learned from others about the joy of prayer. I will give us theology, practical tips, and useful resources, sharing what works for me as we, together, learn to pray. If you find prayer intimidating, or if your lack of prayer makes you feel guilty or “less than,” then this is the place for you! If you have been a student of prayer for many years, this is the place for you too! If you have breath in your lungs, then prayer can become one of the deepest joys of your day. Don't miss out! A PERSPECTIVE ABOUT PRAYER To pray is to believe that God not only hears, but that He responds. It is to stand in the gap for a broken world, wielding the authority of Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and trusting in the goodness of the Father. The question is not whether prayer works, but whether we are willing to pray the kinds of prayers that invite God's Kingdom into the darkest places of the earth—and of our own hearts. We may never fully understand the mechanics of prayer, or how it intersects with God's sovereignty, but we are not called to understand everything. We are called to be faithful. And faithfulness means showing up—in prayer, in persistence, in expectation. So today, let us pray not only for the comfort of our hearts, but for the transformation of the world. Let us take our place as image-bearers, co-laborers, and co-heirs. Let us believe that God is still listening—and still acting. Because He is. There's only one way to find out what might happen when we truly pray like this. Let's begin. THE MINDSET BEHIND THIS COURSE Before we begin, let me tell you the obvious: I don't really know how to pray. I'm a humble student and absolute beginner at the holy endeavor that is prayer. So, this course isn't really about what I've learned, or any wisdom I might have gathered. But, I've sat at the feet of many prayer warriors over the decades, through books and teachings. So, I'll share what I learned from them. Humility is going to be our primary heart posture! With each lesson, I will offer a few thoughts, practices, and ideas – with much humility, and not taking myself too seriously. I will also share her favorite books and resources about prayer. FInally, I will introduce you to some of the most influential prayer warriors of our history as the Body of Christ. Most importantly, I will invite YOU to pray! Learning to pray comes from praying. Our humble ambition is to inspire you to pray, and to give you a few tips on how to do that. Then, it's up to you! Prayer is a lifelong endeavor. Let's make it delightful together!
