Can't Keep Up? Here's Good News Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

You know that feeling of overwhelm? The one you get when your inbox is overflowing, texts keep pinging, and your to-do list stretches to infinity and beyond?

How can we live and work at the pace of God's grace when, more often than not, we are struggling just to keep up with the demands of the day?

In today's episode, we're diving deep into a discussion of God's wonderful and grace-filled plan for us in the midst of a world exploding with exponential change.

💡Today's Big Idea: The world is experiencing exponential change, and we can't keep up. That's okay, we weren't meant too. Being human is a beautiful thing.

⚡️Today's Small Step: Breathe deep. Take a break. Look up, and feel God's smile. He likes you.

The Cycle of Grace: Living From Overflow Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Jesus didn't hustle to earn God's love; He was already enveloped in it. Guess what? So are we! This liberating truth beckons us to exhale, hit the pause button more often, savor extended moments with God, and entrust the outcomes to His capable hands.

Don't miss this week's episode where we delve deeper into Frank Lake's transformative research on 'The Cycle of Grace.' We'll explore how Jesus Himself operated from this cycle and share actionable steps you can take to do the same.

💡Today's Big Idea: We are not working for God's love, we are working from it.

⚡️Today's Small Step: Write this on a post-it note and pray it throughout this week, "Father, thank you that I am already accepted and loved."

QUOTE:

"Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning." Dallas Willard

When Life Gets Hard Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

When God calls us to an exciting venture with Him, it's only natural to assume that He is going to "bless it." We know there will be ups and downs, but overall, because God is in it, we look forward to everything going well.

But that's not always the case. In fact, that is rarely the case.

In today's episode, we'll explore the questions we ask, the pain we feel, and God's provision for when life gets hard.

💡Today's Big Idea: Live in Community. Run your own race. Trust your identity.

⚡️Today's Small Step: Find a traveling partner. One way to start may be by sharing this episode with a friend… Pace of Grace Podcast

Practicing the Presence of God Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

These are the days… the days when life is hard and suffering runs deep, when busyness abounds yet we feel strangely alone. These are the days when we want, we need more of Jesus.

Not just on Sundays. Not just at the start of the day with an added thank you prayer as the sun goes down. We want to live every moment in dependence on, and enjoyment of, God.

Brother Lawrence called this Practicing God's Presence, and in today's episode, we'll learn how this practice is still accessible and available to you and me.

💡Today's Big Idea: God is everywhere. The invitation is to grow our awareness of Him.

⚡️Today's Small Step: Download our free handout, Practice the Presence of God: 50+ Ways to Enjoy God All Day

Quotes:

"Let all your occupation be to know God." Brother Lawrence

"We should establish ourselves in a sense of God's presence by continually conversing with Him." Brother Lawrence

"Brother Lawrence's one method of going to God and abiding in His Presence was to do all for the love of Him. The littleness of the work did not lessen one bit the value of the offering, for God does not consider the greatness of the work, but the love that motivates doing it." M. Beaufort

"(Exercise) a great faithfulness in the practice of His presence, and in keeping the soul's gaze fixed on God." Brother Lawrence
