In this honest check-in, I share why I’m temporarily shifting from two episodes a week while juggling law school, newborn life, and midterms—and I re-air one of your most requested episodes: Rhythm over Routine. We close out the “How to Make Spirit-Led Business Decisions” mini-series with a practical framework for building a business in step with the Spirit, not driven by hustle or ego. If you’ve ever felt productive yet disconnected from God, this one will set you free.

What You’ll Learn

• The difference between routine (checkbox faith) and rhythm (daily dependence)
• Why “keeping in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16–26) is a lifestyle, not a morning checklist
• The 4-part framework: Abide → Align → Act → Assess
• How digital distraction, time scarcity, and information overload sabotage intimacy with God—and what to do about it
• Practical ways to reduce noise (limits, notifications, sacred windows) and protect your secret place
• How to evaluate fruit and course-correct with grace (not performance)

Key Scriptures

• Galatians 5:16–26 – Walk by the Spirit; fruit of the Spirit; keep in step
• John 15:5 – Abiding in the Vine to bear fruit
• Luke 10:38–42 – Martha vs. Mary (routine vs. rhythm)
• Exodus 16 – Daily manna: dependence over hoarding
• Mark 1:35; John 5:19 – Jesus’ pace and posture: presence over pressure

The Rhythm Framework (Quick Reference)

• Abide: Guard intimacy with God; create sacred windows; reduce digital noise.
• Align: Test ideas, opportunities, and pivots against Scripture, God’s character, and the peace of the Spirit.
• Act: Move with faith and flexibility—be interruptible and obedient.
• Assess: Measure fruit (Gal. 5:22–23), review outcomes with the Spirit, and course-correct as needed.

Practical Tips Mentioned

• Put time limits on social apps; silence non-essential notifications.
• Try an information fast (step back from extra voices/content).
• Schedule sacred windows (daily/weekly) for prayer, stillness, and listening.
• Run decisions through discernment filters: Scripture consistency, peace, timing, assignment fit.

Series Recap (Parts 1–3)

• Part 1: Acts 8:26–40 — Strategic decisions led by the Holy Spirit
• Part 2: Acts 13:1–4 — Worship, fasting, submission → divine clarity
• Part 3: Acts 16:6–10 — Mobility and flexibility in Spirit-led pivots
