"Episode 74: Autumn's Invitation to Release: Learning to Let Go and Trust God's Rhythms"

Welcome to October! 🍂

This month, we're embracing the "Rhythm of Release" - learning from the falling leaves that it's not only okay to let go, but necessary for new growth.

In this episode, Cherisse shares her personal journey with the practice of subtraction and why the podcast is shifting to a gentler rhythm of just 2-3 episodes this month. She's learning (alongside you) that saying NO to good things isn't about lacking faith - it's about trusting the Creator who designed the seasons themselves.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The practice of Three-Centered Prayer (thinking, feeling, sensing) from Mark 12:30
• How autumn teaches us the sacred art of release
• Why our bodies communicate through feelings and what to do about it
• Practical ways to notice what you're carrying that isn't yours to bear
• The beautiful truth in Matthew 11:28-30 about Christ's easy yoke

Featured Scripture: Mark 12:30, Matthew 11:28-30, Psalm 91:1

Featured Poem: "The Peace of Wild Things" by Wendell Berry
