Burning & Turning: Sabbath Noticing (REPLAY)

Life moves pretty quickly these days. It seems the older I get, the faster time moves. You too?
With the blur of activities, it can be challenging to notice the big things (or the little things for that matter). That’s why Sabbath invites us to stop and notice what’s right in front of us, just like we see in Exodus 3. Join me as we spotlight "Sabbath Noticing" with Moses and that crazy, burning bush.

Here’s a small excerpt:"Sabbath helps us pay attention. Sabbath is our way to “turn aside and see”-to notice, to be present. Sabbath attunes our eyes and ears to notice…at least for one day a week.”

Bricks & Donuts: Sabbath Freedom (REPLAY)

A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!
Change can be difficult. Sometimes the older I get, the less I need to learn…and the more I need to unlearn. Habits I’ve picked up. Methods for how I do things. Hmm…that can’t be just me. Do you ever feel this way?
Turns out, we’re not the only ones needing to unlearn a thing or two. Let's talk about Exodus 16 when God re-introduces the Sabbath as we continue our "Summer of Sabbath" series.
www.glordinary.comHere’s a small excerpt:"God knew for the Israelites to learn how to be free, they needed to unlearn how to be slaves…because they were really good at slaving away.”

Enough is Enough: Sabbath Stopping (REPLAY)

A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!
Do you ever feel like you just need permission to stop? To stop from the constant day-in and day-out of life. To stop from the tyranny of the urgent and the sensory overload of life. To stop from the stress, the woes, the fears, the labor. Permission granted.
Yes, when it comes to Sabbath, we not only have permission to stop, but a responsibility to do so. Our bodies need it, and our souls do too. Let's chat in Genesis 2 about how God modeled the permission and the purpose of a “Holy Stop.”

Here’s a small excerpt:"So, how do we stop? Well, the Word doesn’t tell us how He stopped in Genesis 2; it just says He did stop. He said, “Enough is enough,” and He stopped.”

REPLAY! Bread & Beginnings: A Sabbath Starting Place

A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!
I love a good origin story. There’s just something about beginnings, right? Sabbath might be one of the greatest origin stories of all time. Woven into the fabric of creation itself, it doesn’t get much more “beginning” than that.
Yet, I found when it came to practicing Sabbath, I really didn’t have a good starting place. You too? Let’s change that. Join me as we chat through my Sabbath origin story and Mark 2:27. Together, we’ll start our “Summer of Sabbath” by stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping.

Here’s a small excerpt:"Because it’s not about what you can’t do. It’s about what you don’t have to do. And that sounds pretty perfect.”

REPLAY! The Shoulder Season: Swapping Our Should's for Sabbath

A Summer of Sabbath Replay Episode! Enjoy, my Friend!
How are you feeling today? Tired, worn, burned out? I'm guessing your response, like mine, probably wouldn't be "well-rested."
Life is fast and furious! It's why we crave down-time, vacation, and a chance to unplug. Not only are we wired for respite, our bodies (and souls) actually require it.
Join me as we chat through Matthew 11:28-30. We'll talk about all things R & R for the soul as we kick off our Summer of Sabbath series... again.
www.glordinary.com
Here's a small excerpt:
"It's why this summer, I'm dubbing it "Summer of Sabbath," a chance to stop, breathe, and re-create as we recreate. We'll spend our conversations chatting about not just what it means to follow a God who created rest and play...because only a very good God would ask me, and ask you, to rest, renew, and re-create as we recreate."

Summer of Sabbath...One More Time!

Whether life feels exhilarating or exhausting, there's good news! A little R & R for the soul is here with Glordinary's Summer of Sabbath.
Back by request, find out where we're heading this month as Stacy offers a sneak peek into the refresh your soul desires.

#70- Protein Pop: Finishing Well

This is it! We’re in the home stretch now. Maycember is nearly over. And as eager as I am to finish the month, the school year, the season, the fill-in-the-blank, how I finish makes a difference.
Join me as we chat about not just finishing but finishing well. We’ll take a peek at some tiny words of wisdom from an equally tiny book- Haggai 1:13-15. This bite-size nugget of Truth is just the pop of protein we need to finish well. 
www.glordinary.comHere’s a small excerpt: "Wanna know what I love about this verse though? The LORD stirred up the spirit. The LORD opened their eyes, wakened their souls to lift up, to get up, and get on and keep on. The LORD did that. Because in and of ourselves, uh-uh, we don’t have the stamina. We can only keep that pace for so long. We can only hope for so long. We can only work for so long. We will fizzle out and putter out. We’ll run out of gas. There’s only so long we can power through. But the LORD stirred up the spirit.”

#67- Glordinary Guest: Becky Niemeyer (Part 1)

I’ve got a secret! When I daydreamed about launching a podcast, I assumed it would be “interview style” with various guests. I started writing out potential names, topics, and questions. Fast-forward to this week, and we are debuting our first Glordinary Guest episode. These occasional episodes will feature an ordinary friend living a Glordinary life because, well, I can relate to ordinary. You too?
Listen in as I invite my dear friend, Becky Niemeyer, to join me for our first Glordinary Guest episode. Over the next three days, we’ll chat about the extraordinary no, yes, and open-handed invitation of God in Becky’s life. Don’t take my word for it. Listen for yourself to the crazy twists and turns in Becky's life.
