Have you ever moved with your prayer? The process of physically changing your position to replicate what’s going on inside can make your heart and soul follow suit. How did this feel as you moved? Did you know the posture you were taking reflected something inside, or, was the posture a surprise and practice of revealing what was inside? As we come to finish our challenge, what has God asked you to do? To ask this question of him is to surrender your will, your truth, you fear, and take a step of faith toward him. Comment below what your next step of faith is.

Prayer Reference - Mark 4:35–41 Where did you find yourself in the story? What was your response, if any, to Jesus? How do you engage with scripture? What’s your habit and experience with Gods written word? Your imagination is a tool, that’s used by God, to pour truth into your life. It’s where he meets you in the world of wonder and childlikeness… which I would say, is an aspect of the likeness of Jesus. What truth did you come to realize about God or yourself through imaginative prayer? ———- comment below with your experience or thoughts on this practice and join the Listening Table call at 1pm for relating and discernment together ———- When it comes to fear and identifying what you’re afraid of, to be honest, this is tricky. Fear is a trickster and can hide behind other emotions such as anger, feeling in control, feeling insecure or timid/reserved. But the truth is, everyone is afraid of something. And discovering that fear is the only way to overcome it with Jesus bringing you through it. Why uncover fear? to experience the freedom Jesus says is available to you THIS side of eternity :) If you’re struggling to identify what you’re afraid of, let’s get honest together on discernment and seeking the Lord. I offer 1- free spiritual direction session to do just that. And if today’s question puts you in a stop gap, I’d love to step into that gap with you, and see what step God is inviting you to take together.

Silence, Stillness, Solitude, Simplicity (surrender), Sitting with the Sovereign one: Each of these moments is an invitation. How fast the day starts, right? And hour by hour, we react and adapt to what’s in front of us in the moment. That’s not wrong. But what if your reactions were fueled by a deeper well, deeper presence, and steady stream of God with you in Spirit for the sake of your ignited, very present, day? Am I Willing? Example prompts from the guide are below: Are you willing to listen? Are you willing to stop…? Are you willing to start…? Are you willing to slow down? Are you willing to start running? Are you willing to change your mind? Your heart? Your schedule? Your relationships? Are you willing to give…? Are you willing to receive…? Comment below with how you felt through this prayer practice, what you heard, or hoped you’d hear that you didn’t, and if there was an invitation to action today. Then, Gather at the Listening Table call - 1pm Pacific Time - through the Skool video platform- we’ll Listen together in prayer and to each other, discern, and encourage. ❤️Lauren

Just a ‘hello’ and what to expect for anyone planning on the 5-day challenge and/or live calls this week. I don’t know about you with the summer season, but I need this gathering for accountability and coming back to awareness of Gods presence and action toward me. Honestly, its felt easier not to seek Him this past week. But, I lean in picking up where I left off because of wanting that storied and embodied experience with the Voice or Love. So thanks for being a part of this experiment in leaning in and looking around for God moving ! Comment below with a word and brief description of your summer season so far. My word - FREEDOM; I’m a lover of spontaneous plans and summer allows for the spur of the moment ‘yes!’ ITINERARY: Join Live or watch the replay of the Launch Call for extra details: Sunday - Launch Call 2:30pm (replay available) 1.
