Frederick Buechner once wrote that "the place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet."  Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your purpose and path to God.  These guided audio meditations will help you reflect on following the highest path, denying yourself, setting aside selfish interests, and marking yourself as a follower of Christ.

Following the Path of God

From deleted text messages to casual relationships. From diapers to styrofoam cups. Everything in our lives seems disposable. Toss it out because you can always get another one. The theme of these guided audio meditations is permanence - divine permanence. You will be discovering the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit within you, the light of God within you, and the love of God within you.

As we advance in our sophistication, humanity needs to be reminded of ancient simplicities that contain truth so potent that our lives can be enriched by their transformational power.  Rest is one such ancient simplicity established by God at the beginning of His relationship with our first human parents. After working for six days, God declared the seventh day to be a day of rest – a day without boundary and equal.

It seems like everyone is searching for “work-life balance” only to find the ideal elusive and out of reach. Maybe that’s because we’re searching for the wrong thing.

The Myth of Work-Life Balance

What's margin? Here's what it's not: working yourself to the bone, gritting your teeth through life, spending every dollar you make. In fact, God calls us to have margin in our lives - room for Him to work, yes, and also for our minds and bodies to flourish. If you've forgotten what margin looks like, read this plan and invite God to remind you that he built you for margin.
