67: Wait Now Go Jan 22, 2019

Show notes

So much of our lives are filled with waiting but no one really ever teaches us how to do it. How do we know when we need to wait? How do we know when it's time to move?

There's several kinds of waiting, today I'll share four: the kind we talk about, the kind we don't talk about, the kind that sneaks up on you, and the kind that needs to stop.

66: Don't Let the Ending Define the Whole Story Jan 15, 2019

Show notes

When an ending is difficult, it's easy to color the entire reality through the lens of how it ended, whether it's a relationship, a job, a dream project, or a life. The ending does not get to define the whole story. Maybe it's time to take back the narrative. This could be a life-giving part of your healing. This could be your next right thing.

64: Acknowledge Your Soul Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

We don't want to wait until the other side of Christmas to finally pause and say, hello soul. I've missed you this month.

Instead, we work to create space now. For a few minutes today, we'll make room, we'll take a moment to acknowledge our soul and remember the miracle of God With Us.

63: Make Room Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

During Advent, it's true we wait expectantly. It's also true we're preparing for an arrival.

What does preparation look like for you today? Might it include creating some space? Making some room? Clearing some clutter - and not just the kind you can see?
