It’s Time to Be, Not Do: Encountering God Afresh {Podcast #501}

What do you think it looks like to simply be present with God?

Maybe you’ve been so caught up in the “doing” of your faith, you’ve lost sight of the relationship you can have with Him.

Well, it’s time to get back to the basics, push off our misconceptions, and really get to encounter God this year together.

On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, we kick-off 2020 with Season 5 and a year-long focus on Encounter God Afresh. It’s time to not only be in the Word but seek to know God’s character through studying His names and attributes, so that we can trust Him more. It’s about breaking our habits and rituals that have lost their meaning and seeking to be present in our relationship with God.

This vision overflows from my personal journey of faith along with so many things God is teaching me through certification I am pursuing as an equine-assisted coach. You’ll get to hear a bit about the latest lessons at the end of this episode. Let’s just say I’ve discovered the danger of being task-oriented! But that story comes after we dive into 1 Kings 8 and explore what it looks like to trust that all of God’s promises as they are found in the Word hold true.
