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. Welcome and “Pull up a Chair” 2. My Hearing God Story 3. Vision for this Cohort 4. Challenge Logistics 5. Skool Platform Logistics 6. Sitting at the Table

A few weeks ago, I was pretty sure we weren't doing a live June cohort. I know I even mentioned this to some of those who participated during the May Challenge. Originally, it felt like the practical decision. I'm nearing the end of pregnancy. Summer is here. The kids are home. Life is full (and my capacity is questionable). And if I'm being completely transparent, I wasn't sure I had the energy to bring new people into the group and keep conversations moving. So I started thinking maybe we'd just pause for the month. Then I mentioned this to my husband. His response was immediate. "What?!" Not in a harsh way. Not in a corrective way. Just genuine surprise (and maybe with an eyeroll because he knows this brings me energy!) "No. You're doing it." Now, one thing about me: when my husband is right, I don't always know it immediately. Sometimes it takes me a little while to come around. This was one of those times. But, as I simmered with inviting people in, the live challenge, and leaning in to the Lord again, I realized the only reason I wasn't wanting to do it were excuses grounded in: 1) Self-Preservation 2) Self-Reliance 3) Self-Protection Over the next few weeks, I kept hearing the same thing from people around me. People are hungry for connection. Not more content. Not another teaching series. Not another thing to consume. Connection around faith. People want spaces where they can talk honestly about what they're experiencing with God. They want to hear what others are seeing. They want to share their own stories. They want to process faith in community rather than in isolation. Or, at least, hear other people process faith to embark on their own trepidation journey too. And the more I listened, the more I realized that's exactly what we've been saying we want, too, Taylor and I. More present, vulnerable, tingly Spirit speaking conversations that are consistent, not one-off moments. More opportunities to behold God's presence together and share what we're noticing.
