  • #21- Sneakers & Screens: Sabbath Distinction

    What’s your superpower? I’m gonna guess you, like me, mistakenly believe we can be in two places at once. We work at the office, at home, on vacation. We check emails in traffic. We scan headlines at the table. We sneak a text-glance during dinner. We attempt to be connected everywhere and end up being present nowhere. Digital distractions lure us to believe we can actually be in two places at once.

    We are living lives of absence when we were made to be a people of presence.

    So, let’s talk about practical tools for resting from our digital distractions. Join me as we check in on Moses, God’s Presence, and Exodus 33.

    Here’s a small excerpt:

    "Just like a new puppy or a tired toddler, our screens scream for our attention. We call them notifications, but let’s be honest: they’re more like abductions, pulling us away from Presence into the abyss of absence.”

  • #20- Slow Your Roll: Sabbath Slowing

    Hurry and hustle seem to be our default speed most days. It sure can feel like we’re workhorses, but frankly, I’m running out of horsepower. How about you?

    Let’s talk about it, Friend. Join me as we continue our “Summer of Sabbath” series with a practical look at how to rest from Galatians 5:25. Episode 20 mirrors God's pace as we focus on slowing down.

    www.glordinary.com


    Here’s a small excerpt:
    "I know when I’m hurried and hustling, I react…often with a sharp tone, a quick glance (or glare), and lacking grace for any and every one, including myself. Yet, when I choose to “walk with God at a walking pace,” slowness allows me time to respond- to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry as James 1:19 says.”

  • #19- Burning and Turning: Sabbath Noticing

    Life moves pretty quickly these days. It seems the older I get, the faster time moves. You too?

    With the blur of activities, it can be challenging to notice the big things (or the little things for that matter). That’s why Sabbath invites us to stop and notice what’s right in front of us, just like we see in Exodus 3. Join Stacy as she shines the spotlight on "Sabbath Noticing" through Moses and that crazy, burning bush.

    www.glordinary.com

    Here’s a small excerpt:

    "Sabbath helps us pay attention. Sabbath is our way to “turn aside and see”-to notice, to be present. Sabbath attunes our eyes and ears to notice…at least for one day a week.”

  • #18- Bricks and Donuts: Sabbath Freedom

    Change can be difficult. Sometimes the older I get, the less I need to learn…and the more I need to unlearn. Habits I’ve picked up. Methods for how I do things. Hmm…that can’t be just me. Do you ever feel this way?

    Turns out, we’re not the only ones needing to unlearn a thing or two. Join Stacy for a look at Exodus 16 when God re-introduces the Sabbath as we continue our "Summer of Sabbath" series.

    www.glordinary.com


    Here’s a small excerpt:
    "God knew for the Israelites to learn how to be free, they needed to unlearn how to be slaves…because they were really good at slaving away.”

  • #17- Enough is Enough: Sabbath Stopping

    Do you ever feel like you just need permission to stop? To stop from the constant day-in and day-out of life. To stop from the tyranny of the urgent and the sensory overload of life. To stop from the stress, the woes, the fears, the labor. Permission granted.

    Yes, when it comes to Sabbath, we not only have permission to stop, but a responsibility to do so. Our bodies need it, and our souls do too. Join Stacy in Genesis 2 as she chats about how God modeled the permission and the purpose of a “Holy Stop.” 

    www.glordinary.com


    Here’s a small excerpt:
    "So, how do we stop? Well, the Word doesn’t tell us how He stopped in Genesis 2; it just says He did stop. He said, “Enough is enough,” and He stopped.”

  • #16- Bread & Beginnings: A Sabbath Starting Place

    I love a good origin story. There’s just something about beginnings, right? Sabbath might be one of the greatest origin stories of all time. Woven into the fabric of creation itself, it doesn’t get much more “beginning” than that.

    Yet, I found when it came to practicing Sabbath, I really didn’t have a good starting place. You too? Let’s change that. Join me as we chat through my Sabbath origin story and Mark 2:27. Together, we’ll start our “Summer of Sabbath” by stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping.

    www.glordinary.com

    Here’s a small excerpt:

    "Because it’s not about what you can’t do. It’s about what you don’t have to do. And that sounds pretty perfect.”

  • #15- The Shoulder Season: Swapping Our Should's for Sabbath

    How are you feeling today? Tired, worn, burned out? I’m guessing your response, like mine, probably wouldn’t be “well-rested.”

    Life is fast and furious! It’s why we crave down-time, vacation, and a chance to unplug. Not only are we wired for respite, our bodies (and souls) actually require it.

    Join Stacy as she chats through Matthew 11:28-30. We'll talk about all things R&R for the soul as we kick off a new summer series.

    www.glordinary.com

    Here's a small excerpt: 

    "It’s why this summer, I’m dubbing it “Summer of Sabbath,” a chance to stop, breathe, and re-create as we recreate. We’ll spend our conversations together chatting about not just what it means to truly Sabbath but what it means to follow a God who created rest and play…because only a very good God would ask me, and ask you, to rest, renew, and re-create as we recreate.”

  • #14- Green Where You Water It: Ditching the Comparison Trap

    It’s unofficially summer, and I’m loving all the green! My allergies? Not so much! I’ve noticed another green growing this season- the ‘ole green-eyed monster of envy. Yes, it’s easy to spot all the trips and toys people buy. If I’m honest, that green-eyed monster can scream and throw quite the tantrum. Hmm…


    Comparison can creep into any of our hearts. Join Stacy for a look at Exodus 20 as we chat through what “The Big Ten” have to say about envy.

    www.glordinary.com


    Here’s a small excerpt:
    "When I began practicing the art of abundance in this way, it opened my eyes and heart to appreciate my own grass, so to speak, and celebrate my neighbor’s. It helped me see my world, my grass, as it is, not as I think it “should be” or what I’m entitled to.”

  • #13- Found: When Jesus Looks For You

    With all of life’s twists and turns, it’s easy to feel forgotten and a bit lost along the way, right? Even the whirlwind of schedules and details can leave us left in the dust…feeling unseen, unheard, and unwelcome. Raise your hand if you can relate? Me too.

    Let Stacy encourage you today with a peek into John 9 as Jesus goes looking for the unseen, unheard, and unwelcome. 

    www.glordinary.com

    Here’s a small excerpt:

    "Unseen. Unheard. Unwelcome. Except that he wasn’t. After the whole healing spit showdown, Jesus hears the man is thrown out, excommunicated. So, Jesus went looking for him. Hard stop. He.went.looking.for.him.”

My life is very ordinary. I’m not glamorous. But in a culture that’s constantly chasing the next shiny thing, there’s something deeply satisfying about a ”long obedience in the same direction.” It’s…
