Gladness is about having a deep desire and being willing to walk through pain in pursuit of this desire.

The Emotional Health Series continues this week with the feeling of guilt. Guilt is the emotional and spiritual gift that allows us to feel and accept that we’ve done something wrong. Guilt tells us that we have broken boundaries and we’ve done something wrong. Dr. Chip Dodd joins us to help us understand what guilt is and how we can be set free through this feeling. Following the interview with Dr. Chip Dodd, Lysa TerKerust, author of Good Boundaries and Goodbyes, shares how boundaries are good and necessary in relationships.

Shame is the emotional and spiritual recognition of the potential to faith and to do harm and to love. In today’s episode, Dr. Chip Dodd helps us understand how the feeling of shame can lead to conviction. We’ll also hear from Nona Jones, author of Killing Comparison: Reject the Lie You Aren't Good Enough and Live Confident in Who God Made You to Be on how shame can make us addicted to others approval rather than open to the experience of our lives lived fully with God and others.

We tackle fear in this episode of our Emotional Health Series with Dr. Chip Dodd. Fear is the feeling that allows us to experience risk, trust, dependency, collaboration, and wisdom; it helps us realize our need for help. For many of us, fear equals weakness and makes us doubt and distrust one another. In our fear of feeling fear, we become fretful and overly controlling in any risk we take. Following the interview with Dr. Chip Dodd, Gabe and Rebekah speak with Toni Collier, author of Brave Enough to be broken, to hear how she’s overcome fear in her life and how she learned to embrace the pain of her past and how she moved to hope and healing.

Our Emotional health session continues focusing on the feeling of sadness. Sadness is the feeling that speaks to how much you value what is missed, what is gone, and what is lost.

Then, Melissa Zaldivar, author of What Cannot be Lost, joins us to discuss sadness and grief.

This is a year where it's safe to assume we are all in need of deep rest. Not the kind of rest you get from kicking back and watching your favorite TV show, but actual soul rest. This week, Curtis Zackery "CZ", joins the Rhythms for Life podcast for a conversation on how to achieve that kind of rest we are all craving this season. We live in a society that demands overcommitments and attempts to stretch individuals as far as they can. What kind of rest is it that God wants us to experience? Why is it so important? Gabe and Rebekah hope the tools that CZ equips us with in this conversation allow you the opportunity to make some real changes to your routine as we strive to end this year well.

CZ's goal is to invite people into the story of God, so they feel seen, known, and loved. His recent book, Finding Soul Rest, is available now!

Last week’s episode discussed the input rhythms (rest and restore). This week, Gabe and Rebekah emphasize the importance of the output rhythms (connect and create). When our bodies and minds are rested and restored, we are then able to go out and empower others and utilize the gifts and talents that God has uniquely designed for each of us. After all, being filled up isn't just for your benefit, but for the benefit of those around you.

As we continue to navigate an unknown season that could easily ignite worry and fear, it’s crucial to intentionally connect with our people and continue dreaming. There is a sacredness of unity that happens when we assemble together. Take the time identify the things that make your heart come alive and then go do those things!

In a cultural moment where we're being pulled in different directions, burnout can creep in quickly. In today's conversation, Gabe and Rebekah sit down to share with the listeners the importance of making rest and restoration a priority. We can't keep trying to give from an empty cup. 

What would it look like for you to run fueled from a posture of rest? In this episode, you'll gain insight on how to establish a healthy morning and evening routine and easy tips on how to begin restoring your mind and body. 

Each of us can do these things. It just takes intention ahead of time versus living in a constant reactive state. Gabe and Rebekah hope this episode encourages you to take inventory of your life today!

Tear alert! This episode with Mary Marantz is intimate and vulnerable. She shares with us the messy pieces of where her life began and how God has used those to create a life she wouldn't trade.

This week's conversation on the Rhythms for Life podcast is with the one and only, Jamie Ivey. Often times, we find ourselves looking at everyone around us to try and decipher our own calling and purpose.

Jamie is the host of the popular podcast, the Happy Hour.  She lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, four kids, and two dogs. She loves encouraging women to be all that God has created them to be, and this week's conversation will do just that. Gabe and Rebekah can't wait for you to listen!

Gabe and Rebekah sit down for a conversation with Holley Gerth, as she explains the unique strengths and potentials of both extraversion and introversion.

Often times, the fear of not knowing how to pray can be the very thing that turns us away. It can seem intimidating, but the reality is that there is no right way to pray. God wants to speak to you and hear from you in the same way that your friend or family member does. This conversation with Chrystal Evans Hurst reminds us  just that. Chrystal encourages the listeners to start where you are and focus on just taking it one day at a time. Her new book "The 28-Day Prayer Journey" includes a step-by-step process on how to begin an intimate relationship with God through prayer. Chrystal is a deep well of knowledge and wisdom, and it is a gift for Gabe and Rebekah to have this conversation with her today.

When we confront the thing we can't change, there's an invitation for it to change us. Nicole Zasowski is a marriage and family therapist, writer, and speaker. She shares her journey where she discovered that sometimes God's rescue looks like prying our fingers off of what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need. And often, on the far side of pain we don't prefer, we find transformation we would not trade. She brings an incredible amount of wisdom, and Gabe and Rebekah believe the powerful message she carries will resonate with many listeners.​ Grab a copy of Nicole's book From Lost to Found today!

In this episode, Jill McSheehy joins us to talk about all things gardening! Frustrated with the lack of gardening resources for new gardeners when she began her first garden in 2013, Jill created the Beginner's Garden to help others with the same frustrations. Through Jill's guidance in the podcast and web articles, thousands of beginning gardeners have been able to start and grow their own gardens.

Recently, gardening and spending time outside has become a new hobby for many people. Jill encourages listeners that you don't have to be an expert to have your own garden. The benefits of growing your own crops are endless, as it is so much more than just what you are harvesting. Not only are you able to to see your hard work physically come to life and provide your home with fresh fruits and vegetables, but it is also refreshing for your mental health as you experience in detail the gifts that God has created. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Jill!

We were designed to dream, and to take responsibility for those dreams. We were made for meaning. Today's episode on the Quarantine Rhythms series is meant to ignite a spark in each of us on recognizing those hidden talents, hopes, and dreams that over the last several years or decades of our lives may have been brushed to the side. For some of us, we may immediately know what those are and be able to pinpoint  exactly when it was that they got pushed to the side. For others of us, we may feel stumped and realize that we may have never been able to identify what those unique talents are.

In this conversation, Gabe and Rebekah share a part of their individual stories on how discovering their talents and dreams actually led them down the pathways to where they find themselves now.

We simply cannot be bearers of the truth and preach the word if we are not in fellowship personally with Jesus. When we are close to Him and make that room for Him, it overflows into everything and everyone around us. We cannot serve from emptiness - using our own words and thoughts to give direction to others. It is a daily rhythm of spending time with the Lord and falling more in love with Him that allows us to go out and spread the word to others, even if only in our own neighborhoods. Today's episode with Francis Chan is an inspiring conversation that serves as an important reminder for many ears right now. Chan provides us with practical ways on how  to serve the areas that we have been placed in, and he prays a powerful prayer over us at the end of this conversation.

How could apologizing make a difference in your home right now? Regardless of what home or quarantine looks like for you, we are all  experiencing new territory together. The routines that we had prior have come to a screeching halt. There is more time and more attention to give, and we believe that God is using this time to restore relationships. 

Maybe there is someone you were once close to and things fell apart. Could you give them a phone call and simply say "I'm sorry, will you forgive me?" Could we actually use this time to provide valuable life lessons for the young ears in our homes and demonstrate what it looks like to slow down enough to not gloss over conflicts? What better time than now to get to the root of some of the things we may have been struggling with for years. The best response when connection is broken is not to push away but rather the opposite, to pull in.

We hope this episode encourages you today to think outside the box and get creative with those around you. Making memories helps us step outside ourselves, even if just for a moment.

This week on the Quarantine Series, we chose to focus on a topic that may seem simple, but it is crucial right now. We are all feeling a little stir crazy during this uncharted time of being separated from others and staying home. However, this doesn't mean that we can't get outside and take a walk. Walking is critical for the restoration of our mental health, creativity, and productivity.  

We want to challenge you to make walking a priority. There is great mental and physical relief in getting to walk alongside your spouse (or the person you are in quarantine with), as we face this together.

We are so grateful to have Lisa Whittle  on today's episode! Lisa reminds us that in a world where noise and distractions are pulling at us from every direction, it is much easier to make decisions when the right priority order is set in motion. Jesus is covering us, holding us, and sheltering us from being overcome by the world like a protective awning. We must simply put Him first.

Lisa has dedicated her life to writing and speaking about the truth of Jesus Christ and how wanting Him the most changes everything. Her brand new book, Jesus Over Everything: Uncomplicating the Daily Struggle to Put Jesus First, is out NOW!

We are so excited to launch a new series, where each week we will process one new rhythm together! Although these current, unprecedented times can ignite fear, Gabe and I are eager to walk alongside you as we navigate the unknown together. There is no better time than now to begin taking inventory. As we pause and begin to examine the different areas of our lives, our eyes may be opened to what is right, what is wrong, what is confused, and what is missing. If we do our inventories right, it will be a holy process. When we rest long enough to take inventory, we'll find new horizons opening up, horizons beyond all we could ask or imagine.

The Lokeys understand pain, failure, and trauma because they have lived it themselves. After 23 years of working in trauma therapy and counseling, they know the power of sharing their own stories in vulnerable and real ways. Bill and Laurie remind us that our shame, regrets, and mistakes are not the end of our story. Gabe and I hope you feel encouraged by this episode!

As a society, we are in the throes of a collective panic attack. Anxiety and loneliness are on the rise, with 77% of our population experiencing physical symptoms of stress on a regular basis. We feel pressure chasing careers, security, and keeping up. We worry about health, politics, and many other complexities we can't control. Eventually we find our minds spinning, trying to cope or manage a low hum of anxiety, unlike ever before.

But it doesn't have to stay this way.

In this episode, Rebekah and Gabe walk through the four rhythms featured in Rebekah's book, Rhythms of Renewal: rest, restore, connect, and create.

You'll hear more about Rebekah's own battle with depression and anxiety and the pathway to establish these four life-giving rhythms that quiet inner chaos and make room for a flourishing life.
