In returning and rest you shall be saved." Ruth Haley Barton: "We cannot give what we do not have." Abraham Joshua Heschel: "Sabbath is not for the sake of weekdays, but weekdays are for the sake of the Sabbath." John Ortberg: "Hurry is not of the devil. Hurry IS the devil."

A deep soul empathizes and sees others. When we ignore our interior life, it is impossible to have the exterior life that we desire. Clarity and authenticity are impossible. How do we keep our soul? The stream is your soul. You are the keeper. Explore this conversation with us.

How does the Bible talk about the ideas of souls, and how does it help us become less dis-integrated as people? Join Chris and Dave as they explore what it means to care for our soul, and why starting small is a good idea as we explore what a rule of life is.

Life is busy and our souls can get hurried … and so, we need wisdom and godly character to navigate our calendars and conflict. When our souls are hurried, it's difficult to simply be present. A hurried life is anxious about all that may be coming, but the present moment matters most because it's where God is.I can't experience God now in the future… I can't experience Him now in the past...I can only experience Him right now, in this present moment!Ps 118:24: This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.The present moment is always sacred because it's where and when we meet God! But when we become consumed with the DESIRES of this world and the FEARS of the future … our hurried souls often forget God. So, how can we care for our soul by being attentive to this present moment with God? This is what this sermon is about and we begin with an encounter Jesus had with two female disciples recorded in the Gospel of Luke 10:38-42...Dusty FrizzellJanuary 20, 2022http://www.shepherdchurch.comhttp://www.wearesya.com

Hannah addresses our struggling souls and encourages us to listen for God's breath in the darkness. She takes us back to the 16th century and Brother Juan's "Dark night of the soul" and his commitment to love and worship God, despite one's circumstances. We are being guided by God even in times of his apparent absence. Hannah, speaking from her own experiences, gives practical advice about how to deal with crises.

Joe starts with a selection of unpopular opinions (e.g. "Monday is the best day of the week")to position today's talk. He then unpacks Paul's letter to the Galatian church to help them (and us) understand what freedom from the law is for - not to indulge but to serve. Applying willpower tries to break us out of negative sin cycles but, quoting from the book of this series, "habits eat willpower for breakfast". Let's learn to live in step with the Holy Spirit and be free to be the people we're meant to be.

On Remembrance Sunday Rachel reminds us that as we live in the troubles of "now" and "not yet" there will be a time when our joy is complete. Our God, outside of history, sees the lives we go through often crying out "Why Lord?". Drawing from the book of Ecclesiastes she finds God makes everything beautiful in its time - our longing, our hope will be fulfilled.

Everyday we manage our image in an attempt to gain what we all want- authentic relationships and unconditional love. What would you give for a relationship where all pretense is stripped away and you are fully known and fully loved? Is that even possible? What would you do if you found it? It's the idea behind this sermon series and the book of Psalms, your soul can be kept in the hands of a loving God or be kept out of them.

Today, on Episode 4, we go through an incomplete list of What We Know For Sure. Karrilee pretty much winged it while Kayelyn made a list (so Rory-like, Am I right?) Basically, we know we love Jesus, and family, and self-care, and being positive. Join us!
