The call on Christians today, the call on our very community, is a sort of resistance. The same sort of resistance to the empire that we see in stories like that of Perpetua: “I cannot call myself by any other name than what I am—a Christian.” It is time to resist the Empire by embracing our identity. ^^^^^^^In Christ.

There are obstacles that can prevent abiding in Jesus.PAIN can take various forms, including the consequences of sin, other people's sin, brokenness of the world, sickness, death, loss of a job, and more, which can distort one's understanding of God and lead to distrust.OVERSTUFFING one's life, leaving no space for Jesus or his words to abide, highlights the importance of creating space for Jesus and prioritizing relationships and intimacy with him.JESUS desires intimacy with each person, regardless of age or story, and calls them to abide in him and for him to abide in them^^^^^^^In Christ.

In this episode of "Rhythms That Restore," Cherisse has a conversation on REST with guest & Best Selling Author Melanie Redd. Melanie shares her wisdom she has learned in her journey and as she wrote "Just Rest: A 90-Day Devotional Journey,". We discuss the vital themes of rest, simplicity, and creating space for God. We explore the challenges we all face in prioritizing rest amidst cultural pressures and the misconception that busyness equates to worthiness. Melanie shares her journey of writing over 9 books to help others grow in their personal walk with the Lord. She emphasizes the importance of mentorship, walking with friends that are ahead of you in life, in the same season and then those who are a season behind you that you can pour into through intentional living. The episode encourages listeners to embrace rest as a sacred practice essential for spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being.

In this episode of "Rhythms That Restore," Cherisse welcomes her friend Christy Dunn. Christy is the Founder & CEO of Awaken Personal & Professional Development, where she helps individuals discover their strengths, build confidence, and step fully into their purpose. With over two decades of leadership experience, she has a passion for empowering others through strategy, communication, and mentorship. She spent 21 years leading a top-performing sales team, sharpening her skills in training, leadership, and vision casting. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Western Kentucky University, but her true calling is in guiding others to personal growth, faith, and fulfillment. Born and raised in South Central Kentucky, she now calls Huntsville, Alabama, home, where she loves life on the Tennessee River with her husband, Frank. She enjoys boating, traveling, entertaining, and spending time with our family of five children, three daughters-in-law, and nine energetic grandchildren. Her faith is the foundation of my life, and she is committed to daily “rhythms” that restore her mind, body, and spirit—early mornings spent reading, journaling, and walking while listening to sermons or podcasts. She have seen the power of obedience and surrender in my own journey, from stepping into deeper authenticity in my marriage to releasing the need for titles and societal expectations. Her message to you our listeners today? "Learn to trust that inner voice. The Holy Spirit is always speaking—sometimes we just need to quiet the noise to hear Him clearly."

In this podcast episode 52 "The Ministry of Presence," Cherisse and her friend Christie Willumsen, explore the importance of "Being Present": with God, with our friends, and learning how to be present with ourselves too. Christie, a self proclaimed introvert, steps way out of her comfort zone to be here and share her journey. She shares her story and of how and when her heart was captured by Jesus. We talk Introverts vs Extroverts. We talk raising children and even being a new Grandparent. We talk about the hills and valleys of marriage and how she and Bob have mentored us through the last decade of marriage and truly championed our marriage when we need it most. We talk about Grief, deep grief and how do we walk beside friends in deep seasons of sorrow. How to love them well. She shares how this season of life has brought about "The Journey Collective" a way for her to love on her friends well through making a beautiful reminder they can see daily to show them their love and value. She shares what she is learning in this process and how these works of art are bringing light and hope out of some dark corners of life. Chrisite shares the power of being PRESENT with our friends in times of grief and truly how the simple act of showing up for your friends in times or joy and sorrow can be the biggest gift we can offer those we love. She leaves us with these words: "It is ok to not be okay. Be willing to be honest with where you are and what you are feeling. Find a trusted person you can be really vulnerable with that will just walk with you as you process and doesn't feel the need to fix you. Have someone that allows you to say the things that you are really thinking especially when you are really struggling with the Lord." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Christie Willumsen Email: christie@thejourneycollective.com Instagram: @thejourneyco_ Music and Worship Bands CU Worship: "00:14:02" Maverick City Music: "00:14:22" Upper Room: "00:14:35" Books and Audiobooks The Bible: "00:20:50" "Practicing the Way" by John Mark Comer: "00:46:26" "New Morning Mercies": "00:45:03" Key Quotes "It's okay to not be okay.": "00:55:05" "Find somebody you can talk to.": "00:55:16" "Be the friend you want to have.": "00:55:28" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join our "Rhythms that Restore" Community on Facebook: Walk through life IN COMMUNITY and beside others who are learning and putting these new Rhythms in place.

In this episode of "Rhythms That Restore," I invited my friend and Spiritual Director Allison Bradsher over or a conversation about how we can start this new year slowly, intentionally and we talk about what it looks like when we "Say Yes to the next invitation from God" in 2025. Allison, is a personal Spiritual Director and she is a co-founder of the Retreat House in Memphis, shares her journey and insights on how to nurture our inner life and care for our souls. We discuss the significance of the new year as a time for reflection and growth, using winter as a metaphor for our own inner "heart" work. We talk about having curiosity over our need to fix, growing our capacity for the uncomfortable in life and practices of subtraction in order to create more space. Our key themes include saying yes to God's invitations in this new year, the importance of silence, balancing inner and outer life, and embracing unique spiritual journeys. The episode encourages us to create space for God and engage in practices that foster spiritual development. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schedule your own Spiritual Direction session with Allison Email: allison@bfrlocal.com Website: www.theretreathousememphis.com Instagram: @theretreathousememphis ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Experience ESBI Retreat Feb 7th and 8th, 2025 Is your soul longing for breathtaking experiences and deep connections?
