Throughout the month of September, the Lord has shown me a repeated image. Countless times, especially when I’m praying for someone, I see Him kneeling before His beloved (that’s you and me) and gently blowing upon the embers of our hearts. He is awakening a passion in His bride that cannot be quenched. He invites us to walk more closely to Him and hear His whispers for ourselves. To live from our hearts and not our heads. To be transformed in a way that ruins our desire for the lesser things of...

Honestly, I'm struggling to write a description for this episode because I'm an ooey gooey mess in His glory. I'll tell you this-- if you've experienced God's radical love and want more, this episode is for you. And if He seems distant and mysterious, and you're dry and weary, this episode is for you too. ;)

We’ve become so addicted to mental stimulation and busyness that we don’t realize how distracted we are until we try to settle down and exhale. We are constantly going. Planning. Working. Shopping. Scrolling. Inhaling every tidbit of information thrown at us through social media, online searches, and news. Today, the Lord invites you to exhale with Him.
