Revelation Within On the Go!

Send us a textWhat if your strongest cravings aren’t about food at all? As we talk through this topic together, we admit how often our cravings have nothing to do with actual hunger. We share openly about the ways we’ve reached for food, scrolling, or constant busyness when what our hearts really needed was comfort, truth, or simply God’s presence. We walk through the lies we’ve believed—“I deserve this,” “This will help,” “I’m on my own”—and how we’ve learned to exchange them for steadier promises: God is near to the brokenhearted, He satisfies the longing soul, and in Christ, we are never condemned.We also get practical about what helps us in the moment: the “emergency kits” we each keep nearby—devotionals, warm tea, encouraging notes, different Bible translations, worship playlists, and written truth statements. We describe the mind-renewal practices that have genuinely helped us shift our focus: gratitude liturgy, praise moments that celebrate who God is, and simple prayers that invite the Holy Spirit into the empty spaces we used to fill with numbing. We share tender stories from seasons of care-giving, illness, and loss, and how grieving honestly—yet with gratitude—lightened the load. Our hope is to help you treat hunger with curiosity instead of panic, letting the Lord meet you right where you are.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textHoliday gatherings can feel like emotional minefields, and we know how easy it is to slip into using food as a buffer when old wounds or tense dynamics resurface. In this episode, we talk honestly about how we’re learning to stop hiding behind food and instead respond with wisdom, calm, and compassion. We reframe emotional eating as a short-term comfort that limits long-term growth, and then share a practical toolkit we use ourselves: crafting truth lists that anchor identity, setting healthy boundaries, and deciding food choices ahead of time so we don’t collapse under decision fatigue. When tensions rise, we lean on simple breath prayers, quick pauses, and moments of presence that let grace shape our responses instead of our triggers.We also walk through our “look and learn” practice—an honest, shame-free way to reflect after a gathering and carry forward what actually helped. Scripture grounds every step for us: Romans 12:18, Psalm 139, Proverbs 4:23, Isaiah 26:3, and Colossians 3:15 remind us that peace is possible, even in difficult dynamics. We share real stories of setting boundaries, planning supportive conversations, and checking in with God throughout the day. When we choose presence over perfection and truth over people-pleasing, both our relationships and our food choices align more closely with who we are in Christ.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textPerfection cracks fast during the holidays—one party, one plate too many, one “I blew it” moment—and shame rushes in. In this episode, we take that story back. We talk about why God doesn’t turn away when we stumble with food, and how His Word re-frames failure through compassion and truth. Psalm 103 and Psalm 32 remind us that God meets us in honesty, not disappointment. We also look at Colossians 2 and Titus 2 to see that grace isn’t a pass—it’s a teacher. Grace trains us toward self-control and peace, not through rules, but through relationship with the One who knows our hearts.We share our “holiday failure truth list” as a simple, powerful way to interrupt shame in real time: no condemnation in Christ, not disqualified by struggle, and this is not the end of the story. We walk through how to record your own truths, how to return to God quickly after a stumble, and how to learn from the moment without judgment. At the center of it all is identity—knowing who God is and who we are in Him changes everything. When we live from that truth, recovery comes faster, our choices grow gentler, and joy stretches far beyond the season.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textThe holidays can bring pressure from every side—food, family, spending, and the expectation to keep it all together. In this first episode of our Holiday Survival Guide series, we’re preparing our hearts before the holiday rush begins. Together, we’re learning to trade perfection and willpower for peace, presence, and a deeper connection with God. Instead of pushing through on autopilot, we’re asking better questions: What happens when we invite God into our expectations, our meals, and our emotions? How might a renewed mind shift the way we eat, love, and show up this season?We also share five intentions of Spirit-led eating that act like gentle guideposts: waiting for true hunger, inviting God into every meal, choosing just-right portions, creating peaceful eating moments, and stopping at “just enough.” Along the way, we offer practical tools that actually fit real life—truth lists for gatherings, praise breaks in the car, and quick mind-renewal moments amid errands. Underneath it all is freedom: food is a gift, not a savior, and growth matters more than perfection. We’re practicing grace, “failing well,” and choosing the better feast—wisdom, peace, and joy that lasts long after the decorations come down.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textEverywhere we look, someone is selling the next way to change our bodies. We slow down that noise and ask a better question: what does it look like for us to make weight-loss decisions with God at the center—not guilt, fear, or marketing hype? We talk through GLP-1 medications, intermittent fasting, bariatric surgery, and spirit-led eating, exploring the promises, pitfalls, and the steadier peace that comes from honest discernment. Tools aren’t villains or heroes, and the weight-loss industry often focuses on short-term outcomes. So we look at what research truly says about results and regain while also looking inward at motives—calling out shame, comparison, and the pressure to perform.Anchored in Romans 12:2, we emphasize mind renewal as the path to lasting change—whether someone uses traditional diets, medication, surgery, or a gentler hunger-and-fullness approach. We share stories from our own journeys, along with five clarifying questions and a breath prayer for anxious moments: God, You know my heart… and I trust Your thoughts over mine. If you’ve felt pressure to chase outcomes, we invite you to join us in a calmer way forward—one grounded in wisdom, intimacy with Jesus, and daily choices we can trust.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textWhat if peace with food doesn’t start with more rules but with a renewed mind and reordered love? In this episode, we sit on the porch and wrestle with a question many of us face: does focusing on mind renewal mean we get a free pass to eat anything, anytime? As we unpack Romans 12:2, Galatians 5:13, and Colossians 2, we talk about how real freedom grows—not from control or indulgence—but from connection. Together, we explore how intimacy with God reshapes our desires, how gratitude replaces shame, and how caring for our bodies can flow from wisdom instead of fear or striving.We also bring this conversation down to earth—addressing diets, GLP-1 medications, and surgery without shame or judgment. No matter the path, the real invitation is to pause and ask, “God, what are Your thoughts about this for me?” With simple tools like a breath prayer—inhale, “Jesus, I want to know You,” exhale, “more than I want control”—we make space for Spirit-led choices that last. If your soul is weary from the tug-of-war between rules and rebellion, this episode offers rest, reflection, and a gentler way home.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textIn this episode, we wrestle with the question, “Is overeating a sin?” and talk about how God isn’t counting bites, but instead inviting our hearts to trust Him more. We look at what Scripture actually says about gluttony, condemnation, and freedom in Christ by drawing from Proverbs, Philippians, Romans 14, and Romans 8. Together, we share real-life moments—like enjoying too much food at a party or stress-eating after a hard day—and show how these don’t have to lead to shame. Instead, we encourage a posture of “look and learn,” asking honest questions like, “Am I seeking comfort in food or in God?”We also share practical tools that help shift our focus from rules to relationship with God: building a God List from Scripture, throwing a quick praise fest to reset, practicing gratitude to move from scarcity to sufficiency, and using breath prayers to center our hearts. These rhythms are not about policing your plate, but about steadying your soul so you can notice God’s gentle leadership in each moment. Our hope is to help you trade guilt for grace and find freedom meal by meal.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textIn this episode, we ask an honest question: is the real issue about losing weight, or about why we want to lose it? We share personal stories—from the stage to the infusion center—about how numbers can become idols, how church culture sometimes mirrors the world’s standards, and how our bodies carry layered stories of illness, medication, and seasons of life. Together, we turn to Scripture for clarity: Romans 12:2 calls for renewal, not conformity; 1 Samuel 16:7 points us back to the heart over appearance; and 1 Corinthians 6 reframes ownership, not aesthetics.We explore how  the size of your body or number on the scale can get treated like a virtue and shift the conversation to motives—stewardship instead of insecurity, service instead of striving. We offer reflection prompts, identity truths to replace shame, and practical ways to reframe body stewardship around peace and function rather than optics. With compassion, we name the complexity of real bodies shaped by trauma, treatment, and hormones, and remind one another that worth can’t be measured by a number. Our hope is to invite listeners into freedom—where the mind of Christ guides our goals and joy is no longer held hostage by a scale.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk about how real change doesn’t begin with food rules or iron willpower, but with what’s happening in our minds before a craving even hits. We open Romans 12:2, Romans 8, and Colossians 2 to show how renewing the mind reshapes our desires at the root, breaking the old cycle of restriction, rebellion, and shame. Together, we share how God does the lasting work as we choose new thought patterns and take a gentler, steadier path toward freedom.We also get very practical. We walk through identifying the thought before the craving, uncovering the belief behind the action, and using tools that meet real-life triggers like stress, comparison, or tough relationships. From the God List and quick Praise Fests to personalizing Scripture and using a Truth List, we show how to create new mental grooves that stick. With Look & Learn, we replace condemnation with curiosity, so stumbles become lessons. Our five-minute challenge helps you pause, renew your mind, and ask for God’s perspective in the moment—building a lifestyle of peace, clarity, and sustainable change.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textWhat drives your everyday choices? For many of us, particularly when it comes to food and our bodies, the answer involves some combination of guilt, shame, comparison, and a desperate desire to measure up. We’ve spent years caught in cycles of dieting, comparison, and feeling like our bodies—and our choices—were never enough. Guilt and shame often drove what we ate or how we cared for ourselves, and deep down, we carried the heavy belief that God was disappointed in us. In this episode, we share how our perspective shifted when we began to see God’s true character: loving, kind, and full of delight in us. When we stopped trying to perform and instead leaned into His grace, our choices around food and self-care became acts of worship rather than burdens.Together, we talk honestly about how moving from duty to delight changes everything—not just how we eat, but how we live. Instead of chasing perfection, we’ve learned to embrace practices like gratitude and praise that reframe even ordinary moments. This way of living brings freedom, joy, and a new sense of purpose. We hope you’ll join us in discovering how your body, your eating, and your daily choices can reflect God’s goodness—not because of what you accomplish, but because of who you belong to.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textWe’ve both known the heavy weight of shame—the kind that tells you not just that you’ve failed, but that you are a failure. In this episode, we open up about how shame has tried to define us and how God’s Word gives us a different story. Hebrews 12:2 shows us how Jesus “scorned” shame as He faced the cross, counting it insignificant compared to the joy before Him. That perspective gives us hope too. We talk about the different places shame comes from—our own mistakes, wounds from others, or lies we’ve believed—and how speaking truth to our souls, like the psalmist in Psalm 42–43, can break shame’s grip.We also walk through a practical five-step process that’s been life-changing for us: bringing shame into the light, asking God to reveal its roots, confessing or releasing it, replacing the lies with His truth, and finally, praising Him for the exchange. We share real tools—like creating “truth lists” from Scripture and journaling exercises—that have helped us move from shame toward freedom. Our heart is for you to know this: shame doesn’t get the last word in your story. In Christ, you can exchange shame for joy, ashes for beauty, and captivity for freedom.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textAs we reflect on Peter’s story, we see ourselves in his struggle. He promised loyalty to Jesus, only to fail when the pressure rose. That moment of brokenness—when the rooster crowed and Jesus looked at him—reminds us of the times we’ve denied or distanced ourselves from God. But what grips us isn’t Peter’s failure; it’s Jesus’s response. After the resurrection, instead of rebuke, Jesus made breakfast on the shore. With each “Do you love me?” came not condemnation, but restoration. That same love and calling is offered to us, no matter how many times we’ve fallen.For us, repentance isn’t about wallowing in shame, but turning back to love. The Greek word  "metánoia" points to a change of heart, a reorientation toward relationship, not self-punishment. Jesus’s kindness invites us out of regret and into renewed purpose. We’ve learned to “Look and Learn”—to bring our failures honestly before God, not to feel worse, but to experience restoration. Whatever burdens we carry, Jesus meets us like he met Peter—welcoming us back with compassion and reminding us we’re never too far gone.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textWhen we hear the word “repentance,” many of us think of shame, guilt, or fear. But as we explored King David’s story in Psalm 51, we discovered something much different—repentance as an invitation into God’s love. David’s raw prayer after his failure with Bathsheba isn’t self-loathing, but a cry for God’s mercy and renewal. When he asks God to “create a clean heart,” he’s asking for something brand new, the same creative power we see in Genesis. That shows us repentance isn’t about behavior modification—it’s about God making us new.We also looked at the word metánoia, which means a change of mind, and how Romans 2:4 reminds us that it’s God’s kindness that leads us to repentance. This truth frees us from fear and draws us into joy, intimacy, and restoration. Whether it’s struggles with food, relationships, or shame, repentance is not a detour but the way back to life. We invite you to walk this journey with us, practicing breath prayer, reflection, and learning to see repentance as God’s loving call home.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textFor years, we carried the heavy misunderstanding that repentance meant shame, guilt, and trying to punish ourselves into change. We even believed we could “hate ourselves into holiness,” but that never worked. Over time, God showed us the truth: repentance is not about condemnation—it’s about kindness and freedom. Romans 2:4 reminds us that it’s His kindness that draws us close, not fear or punishment. We’ve seen firsthand that when we turn back to Him, He runs to meet us like the father in the story of the prodigal son, arms wide open and full of compassion.In this episode, we share how repentance looks in our own lives today. Christina opens up about her breast cancer journey and how God is inviting her to turn from fear toward His presence. Heidi reflects on letting go of her need to control everything and learning to rest in God’s love. Whatever your struggle—whether it’s food, health, or daily challenges—His invitation remains the same. Ready to reframe your understanding of repentance?

Send us a textAs hosts, we often find ourselves struggling to stay grateful in the middle of life’s demands, just like many of our listeners. In this episode, we share how simple practices helped us redirect our focus from stress to thankfulness. Heidi tells of a family trip filled with illness and rainy weather, yet gratitude turned it into a treasured memory. Christina opens up about caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s, discovering that thankfulness could lift her anxious thoughts and anchor her in moments of joy.We also explore creative ways to keep gratitude front and center—like using “gratitude triggers,” visual reminders, or habit stacking to weave thankfulness into daily routines. Beyond personal growth, we reveal how gratitude can transform relationships, even before tough conversations. Biblical examples show us how a steady practice of thanksgiving can lead to a deeper awareness of God’s gifts.

Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into what we call The Great Gratitude Reset. We talk about how gratitude isn’t just a nice feeling—it’s a daily practice that changes our minds, our health, and our spiritual outlook. Science is finally confirming what the Bible has been saying all along: gratitude reduces anxiety, strengthens our bodies, helps us rest better, and gives us resilience during tough seasons. We’ve both seen this in our own lives. Christina shares how gratitude keeps her grounded throughout her cancer journey, while Heidi shares how practicing thankfulness sustains her as she walks alongside a close friend in illness. Gratitude has become more than a concept for us—it’s been a lifeline.We also share some very practical ways to begin, even if gratitude feels out of reach. One of our favorites is the “Lord I love” exercise, which is as simple as naming small things—like trees, a gentle touch, or even probiotic gummies—and letting those small steps open the door to bigger ones. This isn’t about shallow positivity or empty affirmations. It’s about anchoring ourselves in God’s goodness and allowing His perspective to shape ours. Romans 12 reminds us that our minds are renewed in Him, and gratitude is a key part of that renewal. We invite you to try these practices with us and see how even the smallest acts of thankfulness can reset your heart and perspective.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

We talk about the difference between “project thinking” and surrender, and how God isn’t our impatient project manager but a loving Father who completes His work in His timing. Through breath prayers, visualizations, and personal stories, we invite you to replace shame’s critical voice with the joy-filled song God sings over you, as promised in Zephaniah 3:17.We also unpack the richness of “shalom”—wholeness where nothing is missing and nothing is broken—and how it offers rest when shame tries to push us into striving.

Send us a textIn this third episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we’re looking at failure through a new lens—what if it’s not the end of your story, but the soil where growth begins? We know how shame loves to twist our stumbles into statements about our worth. But there’s another voice—the voice of grace—that says, “Let’s start again. I still trust you.” We share how our own mess-ups have become moments of mercy, and how Jesus, like He did with Peter, meets us not with rejection, but restoration.We also talk about boundaries—not as punishment, but as protection for what matters. From Proverbs 4:23, we uncover the idea of guarding what’s precious, and how setting limits can help us walk in freedom. Whether it’s resting, resisting unhealthy comforts, or filtering what voices we allow in, boundaries help create space for peace. And when we stumble, our “Look and Learn” tool helps us ask the right questions, process with God, and move forward with honesty and hope.

But what if those labels never came from God? Starting with His question in Genesis 3:11, “Who told you that…?” we invite you to reflect with us on the origin of shame and how to gently dismantle it. Through our own stories and Scripture, we discover that we’re not broken projects—we’re God’s poema from Ephesians 2:10: His intentional, beautiful workmanship.We also introduce practical tools like breath prayers, guided exercises, and we bring back a tried and true approach called “Look and Learn”—a five-question framework that helps us respond to failure with grace, not guilt. Instead of spiraling into shame, we’re learning to get curious, notice our thoughts, and bring in truth. If the voice inside sounds more like a bully than our Shepherd, it’s time to challenge it.

In this episode, Heidi shares a game-changing realization: if we wait for motivation to magically show up, we might stay stuck.

Using the story of Zacchaeus, we explore how Jesus didn’t just stop by for a visit, but invited him into something lasting. The word used is meno—to abide—and it changes everything. This wasn’t about tweaking a few behaviors; it was an invitation to step out of hiding and into real relationship.This was a difficult conversation to have. We share honestly about the struggle of letting go of control and embracing God’s interruptions, including a tender story about a dog named Sevy. From the bleeding woman to Saul’s blinding light, we reflect on how Jesus often disrupts before He restores.

Send us a textIn this first episode of our new series, The Real Thing, we confront a subtle but powerful lie many of us have believed: that following Jesus means managing our lives better. From color-coded binders to constant striving, we’ve both fallen into the trap of believing that more control equals more freedom. But Jesus didn’t come to help us manage our sin—He came to give us life to the full. That doesn’t mean a perfect life, but a deep, soul-satisfying connection with Him that begins now.We share personal stories of how “management mode” drained us—Heidi in her struggles with fear-driven weight control, and Christina in the midst of her mom’s Alzheimer's journey, where surrender brought surprising peace.

Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into the question, “What am I truly thirsting for?” We open a new series focused on caring for our bodies as sacred spaces, not problems to fix. Shifting our mindset in this way reshapes how we respond to emotional eating, self-image, and daily struggles. Drawing from Scripture, we reflect on the Hebrew idea of "thirst"—a deep, soul-level longing—and how only God's presence can satisfy that ache. Like the deer in Psalm 42, our hearts chase after true refreshment, yet we often settle for broken substitutes like food, performance, or approval.Christina shares a recent personal moment of emotional craving, where she realized her deeper need wasn’t food—it was God’s comfort in a hard place. We talk about how God meets us in our dry, weary spaces, just as seasonal rains bring new life to parched hills. We also offer a journaling prompt to help you name your own "dry places" and a breath prayer to connect with God in those moments.

We’ve both longed for the blueprint—the full picture—but God often asks us to take just the next step without knowing what’s around the corner. Releasing control is tough, but we’ve learned that peace doesn’t come from having all the answers. Heidi shares how something as inconvenient as a flat tire turned into a sacred moment with her mom—reminding us that what feels like an interruption may actually be part of God’s gentle redirection.We lean into scriptures like Psalm 37:5 and Proverbs 16:9 and explore how to practice trusting the unfolding through simple breath prayers, journaling, and asking God to help us loosen our grip on control. For us, trusting the unfolding means choosing to believe that God is present and active, even when the path feels uncertain.

Send us a textHave you ever felt like you're sitting on an emotional trash can, afraid that lifting the lid will make everything spill out? We’ve both been there. In this episode, we talk about how we've tried to hold it all together—telling ourselves to “move on” or “just get over it”—because that’s what we heard from others and from our own inner critic. But we’ve found that real healing doesn’t come from avoidance. It comes when we let God into the mess, one honest moment at a time.We share personal stories—like digging through old journals and clothes tied to body image struggles—and how counterfeit comforts only gave temporary relief. The real shift started when we stopped numbing the pain and started facing it with God. Psalm 23 reminds us He walks with us through the darkest valleys, not around them. This isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about trusting the One who holds us even in our weakness. We hope you’ll join us in exploring what it means to find lasting comfort, not in escape, but in Christ.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textIn this episode, we get real about the counterfeit comforts we each reach for when life feels too heavy—whether that’s emotional eating, perfectionism, scrolling, or even throwing ourselves into ministry. We open up about how our personal stories shaped these patterns. Heidi shares how growing up with alcoholic parents taught her to cope through control and performance, while Christina talks about how her mom’s trauma from WWII in Germany created a legacy of anxiety and over-functioning in her own life. These habits may look harmless, but they often mask a deeper ache we’re trying to numb.We also talk about how family history and cultural messages feed these false comforts and how even “good” things—like spiritual routines—can become a way to avoid real connection with God. But there’s hope. Scripture invites us to bring our struggles into the light and let God meet us in the very places we tend to hide. Instead of running from discomfort, we’re learning to pause and invite God in—right in the middle of our mess. Tune in and join us as we unpack the beginning of this healing journey.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textHave you ever wondered where God is in the ordinary moments of your day? We explore that very question in this heart-level conversation about how every moment—yes, even the mundane ones—can become a sacred encounter. Together, we reflect on stories like the woman who touched Jesus' robe and the thief on the cross to reveal how God's presence often meets us not in grand events but in the smallest, most unexpected places. We talk about how every step can be a “thin place,” where heaven brushes earth, and how God can transform even a single second into a life-changing moment.We also dive into the difference between "Chronos" time—our packed, scheduled lives—and "Kairos" time, those divine appointments where God breaks through. Through gentle practices like breath prayers, sacred space scans, and pausing before reacting, we offer ways to recognize God's presence in your day. This episode is for anyone feeling rushed, scattered, or spiritually distant. You don’t have to wait for perfect circumstances to experience God. Right here, right now—this very moment—you’re already standing on holy ground.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textEver notice how sacred moments often slip into your day when you least expect them—while folding laundry, stuck at a red light, or trying to fix something that feels out of control? In this conversation, we talk about what it means to say a “sacred yes”—to recognize God’s presence in the now and choose trust over hesitation. These invitations rarely show up when life is neat and quiet. More often, they arrive right in the middle of the noise, asking us to pause, notice, and respond. Through Scripture, honest stories, and practical reflection, we open up about how powerful it can be to say yes, even when we feel unprepared. We talk about the things that often get in the way of our “yes”—exhaustion, fear, distraction, and the craving for certainty. But when we think of Isaiah’s bold “Here I am” or Mary’s quiet surrender, we're reminded that a sacred yes isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being willing to notice God’s presence and respond with an open heart, right where we are.Ready to discover the sacredness of the present moment? Join us for a conversation that will help you recognize and respond to God's invitations in your everyday life – no perfect circumstances required.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org
