Blessing our Mind: Scripture and Prayer Response
Our minds are the incredible command center of our functioning in life. They are a complex system designed to protect us and invite us into engagement with life. They are the starting place of every journey of thought, emotion, and movement. What if we blessed our minds under the covering of God, choosing to align them with Him? What a beautiful place to engage the heart and mind of our Father.

Blessing Our Body: Scripture and Response Prayer
Our bodies hold our emotions and sustain our very lives. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, yet so often we find ourselves at odds with the very vessel God crafted for us. What would it look like to bless our bodies—the place where Christ dwells within us—rather than battle them?This offering is the first in a scripture-and-response meditation series, created to give you space to slow down, breathe deeply, reflect, and rest in the presence of God. I pray it meets you with peace.https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Foliver-massa%2Fall-good-things/vZub/R-PBAQ/AQ/bb8d1de7-1743-42e1-9ba3-046ba3ba3d98/4/JlKQgKPP2L

Grittiness and Letting God, Part 2
A continuation of grit and the reminder that we must allow God into every part of who we are. Beth and I discuss Mel Robbins’ recent best-seller and her “Let Them” theory—an empowering idea that encourages us to release control and let others be who they are. It’s a great concept, but we take it one step further: let God. Because while “Let Them” frees us from the burden of managing others, “Let God” invites divine strength into our own lives—and we can’t do this life without Him.
