Prayers of Rest Podcast

Have you ever prayed for a stranger?

I've become so fixated on this idea that I have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16), I am one spirit with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:17) and I bring God's kingdom with me. Believe it or not, it has me praying for strangers in stores!

Today I dive into this question, tell you why the term Christian Hedonism has been blowing my mind, and give you a few points from the book Pleasures Evermore by Sam Storms.

True or False: “The purpose of life is to glorify God, not to be happy”

What if one of the secrets to experiencing more of God is all about His presence? Noelle Beck is with us today talking about her alone time with God, and how our focus should be more on God's PRESENCE and less on our DOING. 

Psalm 16:11 ESV You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Could talking about the tabernacle possibly get you excited to spend more time with God? We are about to find out! I heard a quote from Marty Solomon when he was teaching on the tabernacle that says “I believe there is an indirect promise that if we create the space for God, He will fill it.” Let's talk about what that looks like!

Summarizing the last year is hard- the birth of my daughter and the death of my dad seem too much for just 12 months to hold. But in the midst of mourning, God taught me a beauty of loving him "with all my strength", and how that was exemplified in my father.
