#1: Sustainable Rhythms

Gather 'Round with Rebecca Spooner

For the first official episode of the brand new podcast Gather ‘Round with Rebecca Spooner we’re talking all about sustainable rhythms! For anyone who knows Rebecca, this may cause you to spit out your coffee in a fit of laughter, she is anything but sustainable. But join her as she shares her struggles, her burnout, her low points, and her failures and the calling God is laying on her heart to slow down and find some peace in the midst of the storms of life. Sometimes you can’t stop the doing life goes on, kids need you, businesses don’t “slow down” when you want them to but like Jesus, we can sleep in the bow of the boat, unconcerned. Like Peter, we can step out onto the water. Or maybe just like the disciples, we can only manage to cry out “Master! Save us!” No matter where we are at in our relationship with God, let’s stop trying to bail out the water on our own strength and take a minute to seek what God has for us instead. Join Rebecca in the midst of her storms and let’s have a tea party on the waves. From practical tips to real life, you’re about to get a front row seat to reality.
