Kayla Craig: Seasons Change, and So Should We

08/12/24 • 6 min

"When I read my Bible, I feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland, opening doors and going down rabbit holes, often finding more questions than answers. The more I learn, the more I wonder. The more I wonder, the more I learn. A life walking with Christ is comforting yet often confounding. The more we embrace a posture of Christian curiosity, the more our worlds get, as Lewis Caroll put it, curiouser and curiouser.
You are allowed to change your mind. You don’t have to draw lines in the sand and dig in your heels."

Bonus Episode: Stronger Than Stress, with Barb Roose

If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or discouraged as you try to hold everything together, today is the start of a new day. . . and we have just the conversation you need to support your soul.

In this episode, Becky Keife and Barb Roose discuss the topic of stress and overwhelm through the lens of Barb's new book, Stronger Than Stress. They talk about the challenges of trying to hold everything together while feeling like they are falling apart. Barb shares her personal experience of battling overwhelm and the moment when she threw plates through her kitchen window. They discuss the importance of recognizing the signs of overwhelm and the need to surrender to God's power and peace. They also explore the concept of simplicity as a spiritual practice and the role of sisterhood in supporting and encouraging one another.
Takeaways

Stress and overwhelm can make us feel like we are constantly trying to hold everything together while falling apart.
Recognizing the signs of overwhelm and surrendering to God's power and peace is essential for finding rest and contentment.
Simplicity is about keeping the main thing the main thing and finding contentment in God alone.
Sisterhood is a spiritual practice that involves supporting and encouraging one another, especially during times of stress and overwhelm.

Barb Roose’s new book, Stronger Than Stress: 10 Spiritual Practices to Win the Battle of Overwhelm, offers you 10 godly spiritual practices for combating chronic stress, burnout, and overwhelm no matter what life throws at you. You’ll also learn the four main stress triggers, and how to break your stress cycle and win the battle of overwhelm as you learn how to convert your stress to godly strength and peace.

Anna E. Rendell: The Gift of My Faults

"God stays the same so we don’t have to.
While adapting to the changes we don’t ask for can drag us right through the mud and into the valley, God the author remains unchanged. Malachi 3:6 (NIV) says straight up, "I the Lord do not change." And His faithfulness, His consistency, His unchanging nature can soothe our fear of the unknown."
