Holy Interruptions

In our newest series, Plan Be, join Sarah as she learns how to play and find joy in the world. When the life you wanted and expected isn't the life you are living, what do you do? How do you reconcile past hopes with the current reality? As a type A personality, learning to live in the moment can be difficult for me. Join me on my journey to embrace a different life plan, one of simply existing and enjoying the world God made.

Let's talk about holy envy and the power of naming things in ourselves and in our friends. 

Let's talk all thinks liturgy and procrastination as I recall my Anglican roots!

Instant gratification has simplified our lives so much and yet it's also killing our drive and natural connection. Part of being a Christian is waiting on the Lord and listening to his voice in the silence and stillness. 

In an honest and messy and imperfect episode, Sarah talks about giving 10% when 100% is impossible and being amazed at the reality of the Gospel. 

Let's talk about gossip, about heart posture and the sin that has become accepted as normal in our day and age.

I don't know about you, but I'm still recovering from the reality of covid and the impact it made on my life. As a friend of mine said, "we are all in more need of grace and have less of it to give". We all need grace, not only to give to others but also for ourselves. Here's to a year of grace!

As some of you know already, I'm taking a few weeks to travel around Europe! I'm doing a series called "Around the World" detailing the things I've learned about the world and the character of God in each country I'm visiting! I'm starting by reflecting on my past year working in ministry while living on the island of Maui in Hawaii. I spent a year there and learned so much more than I was able to put into words for this episode. That said, these were the initial musings on how God showed me his character through His beautiful creation and people!

This episode narrows in on the importance of boundaries in all friendships and relationships. Sarah creates a distinction between niceness and kindness and encourages listeners to find health through saying yes and no genuinely.

How do we walk in the light as He is in the light? Do we place enough responsibility on ourselves to dive into our faith and theology or are we reliant on our pastors to fill that role? In this episode, Sarah emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility within faith and some key action steps to help, including finding your community and creating habits.

• What is your name?
• What day is it?
• Where are you?
• What is your favorite color?

• What is your most endearing quality?
• What is your greatest waste of time?
• What do you consider your greatest achievement?
• What was your greatest discovery of the year?
• Which skill would you most like to build in the next year?
• If you could give everyone in the world one gift, what would it be?
• What do you find painful but worth doing?
• What did you do this year that you’d never done before?
• What from this year are you proud of?
• What valuable life lesson did you learn this year?
• What do you hope will be the same 1 year from now?

Let's talk about three distractions we face that (intentionally or not) turn our attention from the Lord towards the world: overthinking, social media, and pointless relationships. We touch on the story of Jonah to remember how God will move his plan and people into action.

How do we respond in obedience to God when he calls us? What does it look like to go and sacrifice your pride for the gospel. Obedience can be awkward interactions that result in beautiful moments of spiritual growth and human connection.

In a world centered on time, how do we seek to be as present and people focused as Jesus was? This episode, Sarah is joined by Sharyn to talk about the importance of learning from other people from various cultures and demographics.

Join the worship department at Hope Chapel Maui as they discuss what worship is and can be! The Hebrew word Halal is used to describe worship as a way to boast or celebrate or clamor foolishly. In this episode, Erin and Sarah discuss the purpose of worship, 90s worship treads, timbrels, and how often we clamor foolishly about secular things and how often our adoration is solely on the Lord.

Take Away Questions:

1. What amount of time do you spend raving about secular things verses spiritual things?
2. Are you praying for a filter or are you searching to have a pure source?

What did you want to be as a 5 year old? Do you think they'd be proud of who you are becoming? What about 85 year old you? Would they be proud? God sees the big picture and trusting him with your life narrative is the only path to success. But considering your little self and your wise self helps us gauge what direction our life is headed in and how we can respond to that knowledge. In this Episode, Cassidy and Sarah return to discuss life during covid and embracing the unknown while living into the most present version of themselves.

Let's talk about money! Talking about giving and tithing can be awkward so we wanted to take a minute to discuss the heart behind giving. Being fresh out of college, giving financially is stretching and yet the Lord calls us to give back to Him. Giving isn't something to check of a list, but rather a natural response of worship in thanksgiving of a gift we didn't deserve. Honestly, it's the least we can do. 

You are allowed to be proud of yourself follow your dreams! You need the courage to be disliked, to let go of the pretense that you have it all figured out, and to deeply know that you are not stuck! Hannah and Sarah finish up this two part series on dreams. In this episode they talk about practical steps to follow in order to chase after your dream and dispels lies from the devil!
