What’s your superpower? I’m gonna guess you, like me, mistakenly believe we can be in two places at once. We work at the office, at home, on vacation. We check emails in traffic. We scan headlines at the table. We sneak a text-glance during dinner. We attempt to be connected everywhere and end up being present nowhere. Digital distractions lure us to believe we can actually be in two places at once.

We are living lives of absence when we were made to be a people of presence.

So, let’s talk about practical tools for resting from our digital distractions. Join me as we check in on Moses, God’s Presence, and Exodus 33.

Here’s a small excerpt: "Just like a new puppy or a tired toddler, our screens scream for our attention. We call them notifications, but let’s be honest: they’re more like abductions, pulling us away from Presence into the abyss of absence.”

Hurry and hustle seem to be our default speed most days. It sure can feel like we’re workhorses, but frankly, I’m running out of horsepower. How about you?

Let’s talk about it, Friend. Join me as we continue our “Summer of Sabbath” series with a practical look at how to rest from Galatians 5:25. Episode 20 mirrors God's pace as we focus on slowing down.

www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "I know when I’m hurried and hustling, I react…often with a sharp tone, a quick glance (or glare), and lacking grace for any and every one, including myself. Yet, when I choose to “walk with God at a walking pace,” slowness allows me time to respond- to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry as James 1:19 says.”

Life moves pretty quickly these days. It seems the older I get, the faster time moves. You too?

With the blur of activities, it can be challenging to notice the big things (or the little things for that matter). That’s why Sabbath invites us to stop and notice what’s right in front of us, just like we see in Exodus 3. Join Stacy as she shines the spotlight on "Sabbath Noticing" through Moses and that crazy, burning bush.

Here’s a small excerpt: "Sabbath helps us pay attention. Sabbath is our way to “turn aside and see”-to notice, to be present. Sabbath attunes our eyes and ears to notice…at least for one day a week.”
