#RetreatBeforeDecisions
“He he did it right before making a big decision of choosing his 12 disciples. When we have a big decision laid out in front of us, we should probably, you know, go out into the woods, into the Erasmus, and spend time with our heavenly father. He did it just before facing difficult things and he did it just after experiencing some big losses. So when we experience those things or know those things are coming, we can go into the aramos and spend time with God. He did it right after his miracle. So he was he was probably drained from performing this miracle. And so maybe for us when we're tired and we're drained, we should consider going into the woods with our God.”

“And drifting is dangerous because it feels calm. You don't have to do anything to drift. You just jump in and just let the stream take you wherever you wanna go. To stay connected with God, it takes intention. Jesus said, I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit for without me, you can do nothing. But the hard heart stops abiding even if it maintains an appearance of connection, even it keeps keeps the language and the routines. You know before the Lord where your heart is. So be careful about this unbelief. The question is not, do I believe in Jesus, but do you believe Jesus enough to obey him, submit to him, surrender to him?”
38s
“And not just the earthly possessions, but you you gain the career that you truly desire away from god. There's nothing wrong with working hard and earning money, having a good retirement. There's something wrong when it's despite God. When you leave God out of it. No. I'm I'm not gonna take that time off of work to do what God wants me to do because I have keep pressing on. There's nothing wrong with wanting your kids to be successful, have a great career, make lots of money. There's something wrong with it if God wants them to do something else.”
43s
“And the reality that Pentecostal charismatic Christians remind us of is there is another world outside of the world that we perceive with our five physical senses. This world of heaven is here and present, and the Holy Spirit is being poured out upon the earth and is at work. And we need the power, the presence, the work of the holy spirit. I think we need it even more today. We need it because I see so many Christians wearing themselves trying to follow Jesus in their own strength and their own power.”

“I think the most shocking thing is that your god wants to live in you. No other religions like that. No other religion, you're climbing your way to God. You gotta find your way. You gotta figure it out. You gotta be enlightened. You gotta do enough. But our God says, I'm gonna make a way where there was no way. I'm gonna be your way. I'm gonna be the truth. I'm gonna be the life. You you take hold of me. You be in me and I'll take you there. I'm the vessel to get you where you need to go. He loved us too much to let us stay broken. Right? That's what he's saying, but God.”

“One of the greatest encouragements in Hannah's story is that God saw her long before others understood her. Pananiah understood misunderstood her. Eli initially misjudged her, yet the Lord listened carefully to every prayer she poured out before him as it says in Psalm 34. K. We can stand. Sorry. That was a little bit of an abrupt ending. Thank you, Lord. Barrenness often makes people feel forgotten, overlooked, or abandoned. Yet Hannah's story reminds us that heaven play pays close attention to hidden tears. Heaven pays close attention to quiet prayers. Heaven pays close attention to the sighing and the groaning and the language of pain.”

#ConsistentSoulRest
“The quiet place with God is that it's the place that gives our soul a chance to catch up to everything else that's happening. But we have to be consistent about it. We have to be proactive, not reactive. And when we do that, we'll experience a rest that that sleep can't, you know, lack of sleep or getting enough sleep won't won't fix or change. We can experience the kind of de stressing that, wine and alcohol won't fix as much as we try to have that fix things. And then it changes that and then the third thing is it changes the way that we enter the craziness of life because it gives us clarity on what's happening in our lives. It helps us recenter our lives.”
33s
#RetreatResilience
“I think one of the things it means for us is that withdrawing and getting that alone time with God and retreating and going into the woods, it's not going to fix our overwhelming lives. Our lives will continue to be overwhelming. It doesn't resolve the the the craziness or the stress of life. That stuff's just gonna happen. But I will tell you this, that withdrawing and retreating, going into the woods with our heavenly father, absolutely will change the way that you walk through the overwhelming nature of life.”

#RestAsRhythm
“And that is the invite that I believe he he is extending to you, and I believe he is extending to me. He's extending to all of us to do the exact same thing, to get away and find rest for our souls. Again, Jesus getting away and finding rest, getting into the woods was rhythmic. It was not random. It was consistent, not circumstantial.”
24s
#PresenceOverProductivity
“The first one is this, getting alone with God is that place where you experience communion with God. It's where you can actually be present with God. It's where you can go and be with God and not have to worry about what you what you need to do in that in that moment or what you need to do that day. It's a chance for you to be, just just present without worrying about productivity.”
