In this honest check-in, I share why I’m temporarily shifting from two episodes a week while juggling law school, newborn life, and midterms—and I re-air one of your most requested episodes: Rhythm over Routine. We close out the “How to Make Spirit-Led Business Decisions” mini-series with a practical framework for building a business in step with the Spirit, not driven by hustle or ego. If you’ve ever felt productive yet disconnected from God, this one will set you free.
What You’ll Learn
- The difference between routine (checkbox faith) and rhythm (daily dependence)
- Why “keeping in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16–26) is a lifestyle, not a morning checklist
- The 4-part framework: Abide → Align → Act → Assess
- How digital distraction, time scarcity, and information overload sabotage intimacy with God—and what to do about it
- Practical ways to reduce noise (limits, notifications, sacred windows) and protect your secret place
- How to evaluate fruit and course-correct with grace (not performance)
Key Scriptures
- Galatians 5:16–26 – Walk by the Spirit; fruit of the Spirit; keep in step
- John 15:5 – Abiding in the Vine to bear fruit
- Luke 10:38–42 – Martha vs. Mary (routine vs. rhythm)
- Exodus 16 – Daily manna: dependence over hoarding
- Mark 1:35; John 5:19 – Jesus’ pace and posture: presence over pressure
The Rhythm Framework (Quick Reference)
- Abide: Guard intimacy with God; create sacred windows; reduce digital noise.
- Align: Test ideas, opportunities, and pivots against Scripture, God’s character, and the peace of the Spirit.
- Act: Move with faith and flexibility—be interruptible and obedient.
- Assess: Measure fruit (Gal. 5:22–23), review outcomes with the Spirit, and course-correct as needed.
Practical Tips Mentioned
- Put time limits on social apps; silence non-essential notifications.
- Try an information fast (step back from extra voices/content).
- Schedule sacred windows (daily/weekly) for prayer, stillness, and listening.
- Run decisions through discernment filters: Scripture consistency, peace, timing, assignment fit.
Series Recap (Parts 1–3)
