This episode is the teaching from Mark Larson from the Rhythms of Life Retreat on April 22nd, 2023. The retreat was focusing on the category of our Mind.

So what is Rhythms of Life all about?

The rhythms of your life are the regular patterns and schedule by which you live your life. We all have them whether we realize it or not. We all have regular things we do and regular seasonal rhythms throughout the year. The question then becomes not if we have Rhythms of Life but rather what are our rhythms and who or what are they serving? 

As followers of Jesus, we are to be his apprentices/disciples. In order to become like Jesus we should apprentice to Him by following what He says (Words), what He does (Works)  and how He lives (Ways). Our aim in our life should be to follow His Rhythms of Life and to pattern our own Rhythms of Life after His. 

This season on RE:CENTER, we are going to be discussing the seven different Life Catagories to  build these rhythms and practices  following  Jesus. You will then take what God is saying to you or inviting you into in each Life Catagory and add a plan to your personal Rhythms of Life workbook. 

This episode is on the Life Category Mind.

So what is Shalom all about?

Shalom is more than just peace, it is wholeness and thriving in God’s good plan. Part of experiencing Shalom is learning to place the priorities of Jesus above the priorities of this cultural moment. Seeing reality as Jesus defines it, in the area of career can be challenging and tricky! In this episode Zac Whitfield asks Dawn Mack for some practical advice about how to  enter into the gift of Shalom with Jesus.  Choosing to trust Jesus with your busy home life will not be easy. Asking Him for wisdom on what to say no to and what is truly necessary is scary, but He is good and He has a life of Shalom to offer you amidst the challenges of raising a family and all the demands on your schedule.

Enjoy this episode and process any questions with your Center Community Group. Our prayer is that we all find Shalom rest from the demands of ever increasing busyness, we need to cease striving and trust in Jesus.

So what is Shalom all about?

With the start of a  new sermon series at Center Church all about Shalom, we thought it would be a great time to ask Dr. Michelle Knight to help us understand how we should think about Shalom.

Dr. Michelle Knight is a deacon at our church and a professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages  at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. She is currently writing a textbook on the historical books (Baker), a commentary on Joshua (Cascade) and a commentary on Judges (Baker). Her research interests include narrative criticism, theology of the Old Testament, the early historical books, and poetry in biblical narrative. Dr. Knight and her husband, Kenyon, have a son, Oliver. They are an amazing family and we are blessed to have them as a part of the leadership of our church!
