133: Rhythms of Renewal with Rebekah Lyons

Rebekah Lyons is a popular speaker and best selling author joining the show today to talk about a book she wrote called “Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose.”  Listeners on the show today will walk away with tools on how to quiet the chaos of life so you can create room to flourish.  This Week's Takeaways  It’s hard to be the church if we aren’t talking about the current tensions of our day. It’s important to make sure the faith we carry as believers makes sense in the times of culture we live in. Whether that be gender, technology, or diversity, as people of God we’ve got to walk straight into it and embrace the tension. Several years ago, Rebekah walked through a season of anxiety that turned into a series of panic attacks when she and her family moved to New York City. Rebekah desired to walk in sustained spiritual, emotional, and relational health, and in order to do that, she discovered four new rhythms of everyday life to pursue.  Our journey with God is active, sometimes we need to literally walk it out.  Play and control cannot coexist, our control is actually rooted in fear. Allow yourself to discover what having fun can mean by trusting, releasing, and surrendering to God!  The rhythms of rest, restore, connect, and create are universal to everyone, still they come in different expressions depending on how God has uniquely designed each of us to function. If you need peace, offer praise. You can meet those fears with adoration.  It’s so important to connect with the Holy Spirit! Whether it be creating, resting, needing to forgive, dealing with past hurts, or whatever it is on your heart, communication with God is priceless.  Shop Carrie's Favorites  She Walks In Truth Resources: http://carrierobaina.com/shewalksintruth Podcasting Gear: http://carrierobaina.com/podcastinggear Business Tools: http://carrierobaina.com/businesstools Healthy Snacks: http://carrierobaina.com/healthysnacks ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Get Connected  Connect with me on Facebook by clicking here or on Instagram by clicking here.   Connect with Rebekah Lyons by clicking here.  Ask Carrie and Kailey  We are so excited about a new feature to podcast with podcast Host Carrie Robaina and content manager Kailey Mattarella called, "Ask Carrie and Kailey."
