Part of thriving and not just surviving comes down to the source of life. Comes back to where our nourishment comes from. One would say to be healthy you need to start eating healthy. Get a good diet and lay off the potato chips and sweets. Where does your nourishment for your mind and soul come from? C.S. Lewis once said “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” If we were made for another world, if God truly did create us then, we should be connected to Him and His source. This week Patrick talks about getting back to that connection or maybe making the first connection if it has never been made.
