We’ve been talking about spiritual choreography—moving through your daily spiritual disciplines and rhythms in step with the Holy Spirit. In this episode, Cassidy and Joey dive into the rhythm of reading God’s Word. By letting the Spirit lead the dance of meditating on the Bible, we can expect to encounter God, experience his power, and gain personal application.

Jesus didn’t have a perfect “quiet time.”

He didn’t sit in a quiet living room, cuddled in a blanket, sipping on his coffee and creamer while he went through a quick Bible reading plan or prayer guide.

But, he did walk by the Spirit and commune with God at all times. While he frequently spent time alone in prayer, Jesus was interruptible—often by crowds and their many needs.

In this episode, Joey and Cassidy talk through seven rhythms for walking with the Spirit all day, just like Jesus did—rhythms that help you follow God throughout the day rather than check off the “quiet time” box and move on.

How do you feel when someone brings up spiritual disciplines? Shame? Exhaustion? Overwhelm?

The very thing that’s supposed to draw us near to God can often leave us feeling far from him. In this new series, Joey and Cassidy explore the joy of leaving behind the spiritual checklist and instead moving with God through every moment of the day.

It takes guts to call out demonic influence in someone’s life. At first glance, it can seem judgmental. But by following Jesus’ footsteps, we can combat the demonic with compassion and encouragement.

Has anyone ever told you to “just make a decision”?

In this episode, Joey and Cassidy discuss God's gift of freedom in decision making—not a fake freedom that relies on our own strength but true freedom to follow the Holy Spirit.

Seeking counsel is perhaps the most intuitive tool for decision-making.

As community-oriented people, we often want someone else to help us sort through cluttered thoughts and find answers as we contemplate a decision. But we can also fall prey to just seeking man’s approval or finding someone who will tell us what we want to hear.

In this episode, Cassidy and Joey talk about the when, who, and how of seeking counsel—and the importance of asking our primary Counselor first.

If God spoke to you prophetically, would you be ready to receive it?

Last week, we talked about how God generously gives us his Word and prayer to help us make decisions. Joey and Cassidy continue the conversation by discussing another gift from God – prophecy.

Prophecy may feel like entering into murky waters, but we’ll see that it’s a powerful tool for discernment and direction – one that goes hand-in-hand with God’s doctrine-filled Word.

Let us train our eyes, ears, and hearts to expect prophecy from our loving, intimate Father. Knowing that he pours out his Spirit without measure, we can ask him to speak into decisions big and small.

It’s said that the average adult is faced with roughly 35,000 remotely conscious decisions per day.

Most of us easily go to God for discernment about big-ticket decisions like what job to take or who to marry. But what about the other 34,999? Does God care about those too?

In this episode, Joey and Cassidy dive into why we can expect God to care about the decisions we make and how decision making can actually be an exciting, intimate process.
