Purpose-driven living is important, fulfilling, and at times, frustrating. After all, if we are actively partnering with God in living out our purpose on earth, why is progress so slow? Why do so many things go wrong?

In this episode, we’ll look at what drives and motivates God and what we can learn from that. Is being purpose-driven at the center of all He does, or is the deeper reality that God starts with “who?” Who He is, who He loves, and who He is committed to helping us become.

💡Today’s Big Idea: As you think about purpose, “Start with Who” God is calling you to be.

⚡️Today’s Small Step: Download our Free “Start with Who” worksheets to discern  “Who” God’s calling you to become more of in this season of your life. www.paceofgracepodcast.com/free.

God answers prayer. He really does, and I love sitting with friends and sharing all the miracles God has performed, the big ways He’s shown up, and the powerful shifts that happened when God did what only He can do. 

But I’m discovering that it’s the small prayers and tiny moments that bring about the most transformational change.

 Join me in today’s episode, as we rediscover the simple ways we can cooperate with God in those small moments that make up a big life.

💡Today’s Big Idea: Pray about everything, big and small.

⚡️Today’s Small Step: Pull out a goal that God’s laid on your heart, and find a way to break it down so that you can pray about every small step along the way.

We live in unusual and challenging times. Despite being surrounded by people, many feel overwhelmingly lonely. We're swimming in gigabytes of information, yet it seems like very few know us for who we truly are.

God created us with a longing to belong, so what do we do when we can’t find people who support us, cheer us on, and celebrate us for who God made us to be?

In today's episode, you’ll learn three practical ways to help you find your people and your place in this world.

Don’t miss my personal invitation for you to join our new "Pace of Grace Patreon Community." It's a community of Christ-followers who are committed to cultivating sustainable and delightful rhythms for living and working at God’s pace of grace.

💡Today’s Big Idea: You already have a seat at God’s Table of Belonging. Live from that confident place.

⚡️Today’s Small Step: Check out our “Pace of Grace Patreon Community” at www.KimAveryCoaching.com/community.

Life is already too complex, so the goal of this community is to be delightfully simple and simply delightful. We offer two Grace Gatherings each month and a grace-filled online community to help us stay connected in between.

GRACE GATHERINGS:

• Monthly Prayer and Planning Meeting with God: The first Tuesday of each month (11:00-11:50 am ET: Replays available), you can enjoy a spacious, interactive Monthly Prayer and Planning Meeting with God. It's a facilitated conversation that allows you to prayerfully chart a course for the upcoming month by fully partnering with God.

• Growing Deeper in Grace: The third Tuesday of the month (11:00-11:50 am ET: Replays available), you'll discover the beauty of Growing Deeper in Grace, by engaging in interactive activities and having rich conversations that are both deeply spiritual and intensely practical.

ONLINE COMMUNITY:

• If you like the online space, you will love our warm and spiritually thoughtful online community. I'm probably biased, but I consider these friends of mine some of the world's most fabulous people.

AFFORDABLE & ACCESSIBLE: Prayerfully become a supporter at the level (or tier) most comfortable for you ($75, $50, or even $25 a month,) and receive full access to all our benefits. We are committed to making this as affordable as possible and trusting God to bless your generosity in supernatural ways.

Come when you can, and participate as much or as little as you would like. There's never any guilt or obligation.

"I can't." These two words often slip from our lips when we're feeling stuck and frustrated, seemingly unable to move forward despite our best efforts.

But imagine if we could follow up those "I can't" moments with a resolute, "God can. I think I'll ask Him." 

It changes everything because our God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-connected, all-resourced, and always willing to extend Himself to help you and me.

In this episode, we'll delve into how we can transform our frustration into an open invitation for God to perform His most remarkable work in our lives.

💡Today’s Big Idea:  I can’t. He can. I think I’ll ask Him.

You know that feeling of overwhelm? The one you get when your inbox is overflowing, texts keep pinging, and your to-do list stretches to infinity and beyond?

How can we live and work at the pace of God's grace when, more often than not, we are struggling just to keep up with the demands of the day?

 In today's episode, we're diving deep into a discussion of God's wonderful and grace-filled plan for us in the midst of a world exploding with exponential change.

💡Today’s Big Idea: The world is experiencing exponential change, and we can’t keep up. That’s okay, we weren’t meant too. Being human is a beautiful thing.

⚡️Today’s Small Step: Breathe deep. Take a break. Look up, and feel God’s smile. He likes you.

Jesus didn't hustle to earn God's love; He was already enveloped in it. Guess what? So are we! This liberating truth beckons us to exhale, hit the pause button more often, savor extended moments with God, and entrust the outcomes to His capable hands.

Don't miss this week's episode where we delve deeper into Frank Lake's transformative research on 'The Cycle of Grace.' We'll explore how Jesus Himself operated from this cycle and share actionable steps you can take to do the same.

💡Today’s Big Idea: We are not working for God’s love, we are working from it.

 ⚡️Today’s Small Step: Write this on a post-it note and pray it throughout this week, “Father, thank you that I am already accepted and loved.”

These are the days… the days when life is hard and suffering runs deep, when busyness abounds yet we feel strangely alone. These are the days when we want, we need more of Jesus.

Not just on Sundays. Not just at the start of the day with an added thank you prayer as the sun goes down. We want to live every moment in dependence on, and enjoyment of, God. 

Brother Lawrence called this Practicing God’s Presence, and in today’s episode, we’ll learn how this practice is still accessible and available to you and me.

💡Today’s Big Idea: God is everywhere. The invitation is to grow our awareness of Him.

⚡️Today’s Small Step: Download our free handout, Practice the Presence of God: 50+ Ways to Enjoy God All Day

Quotes:

“Let all your occupation be to know God.” 
Brother Lawrence 

“We should establish ourselves in a sense of God’s presence by continually conversing with Him.”
Brother Lawrence 

“Brother Lawrence’s one method of going to God
and abiding in His Presence was to do all for the love of Him.
The littleness of the work did not lessen one bit the value of the offering, for God does not consider the greatness of the work, but the love that motivates doing it.”
M. Beaufort

“(Exercise) a great faithfulness in the practice of His presence, and in keeping the soul’s gaze fixed on God.”
Brother Lawrence
