| You Be You: Jamie Ivey | 29 Sep 2020 | 00:34:04 | |
This week's conversation on the Rhythms for Life podcast is with the one and only, Jamie Ivey. Often times, we find ourselves looking at everyone around us to try and decipher our own calling and purpose. Sometimes, we forget that the God of the universe created each of us with a unique purpose in mind. What would it look like for us to live each day seeking the abundant life God promises us? Jamie is the host of the popular podcast, the Happy Hour. She lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, four kids, and two dogs. She loves encouraging women to be all that God has created them to be, and this week's conversation will do just that. Gabe and Rebekah can't wait for you to listen! LINKS:

| Wisdom Only Prayer Can Bring: Chrystal Evans Hurst | 08 Sep 2020 | 00:35:57 | |
Often times, the fear of not knowing how to pray can be the very thing that turns us away. It can seem intimidating, but the reality is that there is no right way to pray. God wants to speak to you and hear from you in the same way that your friend or family member does. This conversation with Chrystal Evans Hurst reminds us just that. Chrystal encourages the listeners to start where you are and focus on just taking it one day at a time. Her new book "The 28-Day Prayer Journey" includes a step-by-step process on how to begin an intimate relationship with God through prayer. Chrystal is a deep well of knowledge and wisdom, and it is a gift for Gabe and Rebekah to have this conversation with her today. LINKS: Grab a copy of The 28-Day Prayer Journey here!
