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.Links:To learn more about the Q 2020 Virtual Summit, click HERE!To take the quiz and learn your healthiest rhythm, click HERE!To grab a copy of Rebekah's latest book, Rhythms of Renewal, click HERE.You can find Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search For Meaning, HERE.

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.

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 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.
