Baptism is more than a ceremony; it is a declaration of a new identity. Through baptism believers publicly identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Baptism remains a vital step of obedience and belonging in the life of the church.

Why We Need More Ritual and Less HustleThe Missing Practice in Healing, Manifestation, and Personal GrowthIn this episode, JJ Flizanes explores a powerful question: When was the last time you intentionally paused? Not because you were exhausted, overwhelmed, or forced to stop—but because you consciously chose to reconnect with yourself. In a culture obsessed with productivity, achievement, self-improvement, and constant action, many of us have become disconnected from our bodies, our emotions, our intuition, and our inner wisdom.JJ discusses how hustle culture has infiltrated not only our work lives but also our healing journeys. We read the books, listen to the podcasts, take the courses, and attend the workshops—but often fail to create the space necessary for integration. True transformation doesn't happen through accumulating more information. It happens when we slow down enough to embody what we've learned.Drawing on themes from recent conversations about mental health, spiritual awakening, nervous system regulation, and emotional healing, JJ shares why intentional rituals may be one of the most overlooked tools for creating lasting change. Rituals create predictability, safety, reflection, and regulation. They tell the nervous system that it's okay to stop, breathe, and listen.Listeners will also hear the inspiration behind Sacred Rhythms, JJ's new community centered around New Moon Rituals and Full Moon Ceremonies. More than a spiritual practice, these gatherings provide structured opportunities to pause, reflect, create, release, heal, and reconnect with what truly matters. Whether you resonate with moon cycles or simply need a way to step off the hamster wheel of life, this episode offers a compelling case for bringing more ritual and less hustle into your daily experience.In This Episode:Why hustle culture is keeping us disconnectedThe difference between learning and integratingHow nervous system dysregulation fuels burnout and overwhelmWhy rituals exist in every culture throughout historyThe role of intentional pauses in emotional healing and manifestationHow nature teaches us through cycles of growth, release, and renewalThe difference between New Moon creation and Full Moon releaseWhy Sacred Rhythms was created and how it supports transformationKey Takeaways:Healing is not about collecting more information—it's about living what you learn.Manifestation isn't just about creating; it's also about clearing and making space for what's next.Rituals help regulate the nervous system by creating intentional moments of safety, reflection, and presence.Growth, healing, manifestation, and life itself are cyclical—not linear.Memorable Quote:"If we don't pause and take time to assess what we're doing and how we're doing it, we're on autopilot.

Prayer is not simply a private spiritual habit—it is a defining rhythm of the people of God. The early church devoted themselves to prayer. Corporate prayer aligns our hearts with God's purposes, strengthens faith, and invites the Spirit's work among us.

Why does spiritual growth often feel slower than we expected? In the final week of Sacred Rhythms: Simple Practices That Shape a Life With God, Chad Manbeck explores how transformation into the likeness of Jesus is usually gradual, intentional, and formed through everyday faithfulness over time. Together, we examine the role of spiritual disciplines, the quiet power of ordinary obedience, and how God often does His deepest work in the unseen rhythms of daily life rather than dramatic moments alone. This session includes practical encouragement for recognizing where your habits and patterns are leading you, trusting God in the process of transformation, and learning to see everyday moments as opportunities for discipleship and formation.

What if prayer was less about getting answers… and more about growing in relationship with God? In Week 4 of Sacred Rhythms: Simple Practices That Shape a Life With God, Chad Manbeck explores prayer as an ongoing connection with God rather than a performance or transaction. Together, we look at what it means to build a life of constant connection through simple, honest prayer — learning how dependence, vulnerability, and consistency help shape our hearts over time. This session includes practical encouragement for integrating prayer into everyday moments and allowing prayer to become less about control and more about alignment with the heart of God.

Before we can understand the power of God's Word, we must understand how the Bible came to be. Rather than being randomly assembled, the Bible emerged through a careful process of discernment as the early church recognized the writings that carried apostolic authority and divine inspiration. Understanding how the canon was formed strengthens our confidence that the Scriptures we hold today are the faithful and trustworthy Word of God.

In week 2 of Sacred Rhythms: Simple Practices That Shape a Life With God, Chad Manbeck explores what it means to live a life attentive to the voice and leading of Holy Spirit. Together, we examine the distractions and noise that often keep us from recognizing God's voice, while learning how scripture, silence, discernment, and obedience help us grow in spiritual attentiveness over time. This session includes practical encouragement for creating space to listen, testing what we hear through the character of God and scripture, and responding to the small promptings that can lead to powerful moments of obedience and transformation. This class was recorded live at Richwoods Christian Church and edited for podcast listening. Learn more about Richwoods Christian Church: richwoods.org

What is shaping you most right now? In the first week of Sacred Rhythms: Simple Practices That Shape a Life With God, Chad Manbeck explores how spiritual formation doesn't happen by accident — we are always being shaped by something. Together, we walk through what it looks like to approach scripture with intentionality, engage the text instead of simply consuming it, and allow God's Word to move from information into transformation. This session includes practical guidance for slowing down in scripture, reflecting on what God may be forming in you, and building a simple, sustainable rhythm of time with God. This class was recorded live at Richwoods Christian Church and edited for podcast listening.

Every family has rhythms that shape who they are. In the family of God, these are the ways of Jesus. In Acts 2, we see a community devoted to practices like prayer, Scripture, worship, and life together. These rhythms are not about earning anything from God, but about opening ourselves up to Him and being formed over time. In this message, we are invited to choose one practice and step more fully into a life shaped by the presence of Jesus. Which rhythm will you choose to step into?⚫CONNECT WITH US:

Jonathan Whistman is The Sales Boss - the architect behind human powered organizations where identity, belief, and culture drive extraordinary performance. He helped Tommy Mello scale A1 Garage Door to a half-billion dollar exit, with technicians going from $200-300k producers to $900k average - and top performers reaching $3 million.Andy Elliott had so much success running his team on Jonathan's system that he invested $2 million and partnered with Jonathan to co-create the Performance Machine - combining The Sales Boss methodology with ElliottHire's training and activation systems.Jonathan's superpower comes from an unusual place: growing up inside a religious cult. That experience taught him how to read human behavior with precision - and how identity, belief, and culture shape everything people do. Now he applies those insights to help leaders build organizations where humans perform at their highest level.In this episode, he walks through the Think | Feel | Act framework, explains Sacred Rhythms, and reveals why most companies are like a high school band when they could be Carnegie Hall.

Every new year, people set goals and resolutions. Most of these goals are centered around the habits and rhythms of our day-to-day life. A healthy diet, a bible reading plan, a new exercise routine, etc. People set goals because they want their goals to help them become a certain type of person, and it is our daily rhythms that determine much of who we are. This was part of the created order that God set forth into existence at Creation. Days, seasons, years, eating, drinking, working. Our lives are lived by habits and rhythms. In this New Series, Sacred Rhythms, we are looking at the rhythms that God has prescribed for us in His Word that, by his power in us as believers, we may be more like Jesus Christ and glorify God in this life. This week we wrap up our Sacred Rhythms series by talking about evangelism, sharing the gospel. Brent and Kenzie team up this week to share what the gospel is, why we share it, a helpful tool to share the gospel, and what to do after you have shared the gospel with a friend! We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you! Check out our Instagram @fellowshipya, website www.fellowshipar.com/young-adults, or send us at email at youngadults@fellowshipar.com.

New Values - Sacred Rhythms by The Hallows Church

Every new year, people set goals and resolutions. Most of these goals are centered around the habits and rhythms of our day-to-day life. A healthy diet, a bible reading plan, a new exercise routine, etc. People set goals because they want their goals to help them become a certain type of person, and it is our daily rhythms that determine much of who we are. This was part of the created order that God set forth into existence at Creation. Days, seasons, years, eating, drinking, working. Our lives are lived by habits and rhythms. In this New Series, Sacred Rhythms, we are looking at the rhythms that God has prescribed for us in His Word that, by his power in us as believers, we may be more like Jesus Christ and glorify God in this life. This week's Sacred Rhythm is friendship. Brent walks us through why we should prioritize friendship as one of God's gifts to us to help us look more like Jesus. Brent gives four ways that our friendships can glorify God and push us closer to Jesus. Those four ways are being intentional, being loving, being vulnerable, and being empowering.We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

Send us a textTrade the contemporary hype for a deep concern with holiness! What if your youth ministry felt unmistakably sacred and still radically welcoming?In this episode of Youth Ministry Booster, Zac Workun sits down with Ribbin Dorado to explore a youth ministry model built on formation over frenzy, one that helps teenagers love the church they're actually growing into.Together, we unpack a fresh durable, and repeatable,  youth ministry framework designed for long-term faith formation:A two-hour Sunday night gathering that prioritizes formation over gamesA monthly rhythm that includes a Student Sabbath at home, complete with table liturgiesA mid-month Worship in the Round, where students lead and testifySacred worship spaces using incense, kneelers, and iconography to signal reverence. Elements of signs, symbols, and wonder. Memorizing creeds, spontaneous testimonies, and students “fighting for the mic” to name where they see God at workTeaching shaped by the lectionary, offering a balanced diet of Scripture and resisting cherry-pickingWe also talk about rethinking leadership in student ministry:Hospitality leaders who cultivate belongingFormation leaders who guide 30-minute Bible circlesThoughtful training, interviews, and resources that treat leaders as ministers—not just volunteersLanguage that dignifies the calling and responsibility of those shaping students' faithAt the core is the soul of the youth pastor. Ribbin challenges leaders to abide in Christ (John 15), practice the daily Examen, read Scripture beyond sermon prep, and develop a living rule of life. Teenagers don't just hear what we teach, they catch what we love. We lead from overflow, not exhaustion.Finally, we reframe success in youth ministry:Are students worshiping with the broader church?Are families practicing prayer and Scripture at home?Two years after graduation, are students rooted in a local church?Formation is a long obedience in the same direction—formed inwardly and sent outwardly.Subscribe, rate, and review on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.

Problems arise in our Christian life when we overemphasize one of these two rhythms. Even more problems arise when we forget the end goal of both of them, that is, to glorify God. Brent walks through why and how it is that we glorify God and enjoy him in both our work and our rest. We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

Join teZa as she describes the week-long 7-women retreat in Tulum, in Mexico's Yukatan. She wanted a Reset, and mission accomplished! Feeling interconnected was the theme, made easier by being and sharing with other spirit-oriented women. With all physical needs pre-arranged (and so luxuriously at Amansala a beachside upscale resort) quiet calm sistered with self-care and inner exploration made the 7 days whizz by. Some of us played, others dove into self-inquiry for virtually the first time. All were willing and Joy was our common denominator. Because our workshop called "Sacred Rhythms" leader's name, Jocelyn, literally means Joy. Body Mind Spirit: our delight. We Released what needed to be released. Reframing life in new and marvelous ways surprising even to ourselves. Identifying blocks can be fun, my friends! We enjoyed several Mayan traditional ceremonies: a purifying clay massage and plunge in the sea with sound attunement for one, a sweat lodge for another, with cacao sharing in between. "Life is a ceremony, drinking cacao is just what we do in between," our master of the temezcal (sweat lodge) ceremonies Carlos explained, as he sang sacred Mayan songs to us and fed herbs such as rue, basil, and rosemary to the glowing hot rocks. The air purified our lungs. The womb-like structure caressed and invigorated our souls. The kopal incense and flower petals glorified our quest. Awareness - Acceptance - Action

Worship is central rhythm because it isn't just a single habit, it is the way that we go about all of the habits of our Christian life. Brent, Kenzie, AJ, and Logan talk about what the Bible says about worship, common misconceptions about worship, how to worship within our day-to-day lives, among other things.We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

Brent Cummings, our Young Adult Pastor, walks us through why it is we should read the Bible habitually. We should read the Bible to know God, to know His message of the gospel, to know that God's way is better than any other way, and to know how to live. Just as important as why is how we read the Bible. As Psalm 1 says, we should read it day and night. In other words, we should read the Bible habitually. We habitually read the Bible individually, reading, studying, meditating, and memorizing Scripture. We also read the Bible in community, by hearing his word preached and studying it together in small groups.  We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

Sacred Rhythms by Grant Mahoney

Episode 99 – Liturgies: Finding Meaning in Sacred RhythmsPastor Dan and Shane are back with a reflective and relatable conversation on liturgies—the words, prayers, and habits that give rhythm to our walk with Christ. From the creeds we confess to the coffee we brew, these patterns shape who we are and remind us of God's presence in all things.They explore why crafted words matter, how repetition shapes our hearts, and what it looks like to bring ancient rhythms into modern life.Don't forget to continue the conversation at home, in the car, at work, or anywhere you can find someone to talk to! Thanks for walking with us!Support the show

With honesty and hope, they name the beauty and loss of changing seasons in family, friendships, and faith, offering simple rhythms to stay near God's heart and encouragement to trust His goodness through every season.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: 1 Chronicles 29:22 (NIV) – They ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the Lord that day. Then they acknowledged Solomon son of David as king a second time, anointing him before the Lord to be ruler and Zadok to be priest.Psalm 13:5–6 (NIV) – But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been good to me.Psalm 32:11 (NIV) – Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!Psalm 6:1–2 (NIV) – Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

This week in our Sacred Rhythms sermon series, Pastor Bronwyn Murphy will share a message from John 13:1–7. In this passage, we witness Jesus' example of humility and love, and we're invited to consider what it means to live a life of service. Join us for a time of worship, Scripture, and reflection as we explore how following Jesus shapes the rhythm of our lives.

Send us a textThat breakthrough you've been praying for might be waiting—not in your striving, but in your sleeping. Divine rest isn't a luxury or an afterthought; it's foundational to how God designed us to function in relationship with Him.Ben Armstrong brings profound wisdom to our conversation about sleep, dreams, and the prophetic. He highlights how in the creation narrative, each day began with evening—a divine rhythm suggesting we should live from rest toward activity, not desperately racing toward rest after depleting ourselves.When the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, Peter quoted Joel's prophecy that dreams and visions would be key languages of the Spirit. Yet many believers have lost touch with this vital spiritual channel. Through biblical examples like Jacob receiving identity and direction through a dream, Ben illustrates how God often speaks most clearly when we're at rest.Modern science confirms what Scripture teaches—our bodies undergo crucial restoration during sleep, and most growth in nature happens at night. High cortisol levels from stress inhibit rest, while practices like reducing screen time before bed improve both sleep quality and dream recall. Even nutrition plays a surprising role in our ability to rest well.Perhaps most challenging is Ben's observation that we often "spiritualise our dysfunction," pushing through exhaustion while framing unhealthy patterns in religious language. Jesus modelled something different—communion with Father first, followed by purposeful action with more than enough resources for the day.The conversation concludes with a practical challenge: identify one small daily habit that acknowledges rest as vital to your life. This simple act of stewardship invites God's grace and can transform your entire approach to living in His kingdom.What divine breakthrough might be waiting for you in the place of rest you've been avoiding?BEN ARMSTRONGThe Overseer of Prophetic Ministry at Bethel Church, Redding, where he and his wife, Heather Armstrong, both serve as pastors.Through teaching and preaching, Ben equips people with the skills and tools they need to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth. He has a passion to see individuals fully equipped in living a prophetic lifestyle, as well as walking in the revelatory gifts. Ben has a passion for the pursuit of God's presence, seeing worship reach new heavenly realms, dreams and interpretation, healing, and living a prophetic lifestyle.They have three amazing children; Conner, Kira, and Madison. Ben, Heather, and their children are passionate about living the kingdom and bringing the supernatural in their family life and equipping others to do the same.https://armstrongministries.com/Support the showwww.greaterthingsinternational.com

Ruth is the author of numerous books and resources on the spiritual life, including Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership and Sacred Rhythms. She reflects regularly on spirituality and leadership in her blog, Beyond Words, and on her podcast Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership.We hope you enjoy this conversation around her book, Invitation to Solitude and Silence: Experiencing God's Transforming Presence.
