In this episode of "Rhythms That Restore," host Cherisse explores the theme of "Subtraction"- Letting Go of what weighs us down and is not serving our lives well. She emphasizes letting go of burdens and distractions to create space to listen and actually hear what the Lord has for us. Drawing insights from previous episodes #45 with Allison Bradsher and Episode #44 with Kat Van Dusen.

Cherisse discusses how "subtraction" can deepen our understanding of our identity as beloved children of God. She offers practical steps like identifying if and where we may have negative space in our lives, fasting, silence and simplifying lifestyles. Cherisse encourages listeners to confront internal attachments and create space for God, fostering a deeper relationship and reflecting His image in their lives.
