    85. Practices That Connect - Friday

    85. Practices That ConnectFriday - February 20, 2026 Over the last 6 weeks, we have explored the spiritual practices of prayer, reading the Bible, silence, fasting, sabbath, and service. Today, we reflect on and wrap up the series. Discussion Question(s) • Which of the six practices seems easiest for you, and which seems hardest? • Was there anything you learned or anything someone said during your family discussions that’s stuck with you from the last six weeks? • Are any of the practices things you’d like to try to do more of now that you better understand them? Prayer Dear God, we thank you that you’ve given us ways to look for you, listen for you, and connect with you. You haven’t given us spiritual practices as homework to fill our time or prove ourselves, but you’ve given them to us because you love us. May we take advantage of these practices because we love you too. Amen. Episode Music: A Thousand Lakes by Sounds Like Sander --- 📝 Send Us Your Stories! We love featuring listener submissions!

    84. Letting Others Serve - Thursday

    84. Letting Others ServeThursday - February 19, 2026 Dan recalls a time when one of the employees at Auden and Brookie’s Ice Cream & Cookies went above and beyond in serving his family. We learn that we can actually share a blessing when we let others serve. Discussion Question(s) • Can you think of a time when you served someone else and it made you feel good? Prayer Dear God, it is amazing that the practice of service has the ability to bless both those who are being served and those who are doing the serving. As we keep our eyes open for ways to love and serve other people, may we also recognize when others want to love and serve us. May we receive the blessing with humility, knowing that they will be blessed as well. Amen. Episode Music: Touch And Go by Reveille --- 📝 Send Us Your Stories! We love featuring listener submissions!

    83. Ash Wednesday - Wednesday

    83. Ash WednesdayWednesday - February 18, 2026 We learn about the meaning and significance of Ash Wednesday. This important day begins the season of Lent, which prepares us to get the most out of the celebration of Easter. Discussion Question(s) • Is there something you might need to say sorry for - either to God or someone you know? Share if you’re comfortable, but it’s ok to just reflect. Prayer Dear God, we love you so much. But despite our love for you, we still make mistakes that can hurt our relationship with you. On this Ash Wednesday, we say we’re sorry, and we seek to better follow you. More than anything, thank you that you hear us and forgive us. Amen.

    81. Presidents Day - Monday

    81. Presidents DayMonday - February 16, 2026 Dan shares some fun and unexpected facts about Presidents Day. We kick off our discussion of the practice of service. Discussion Question(s) • Who do you think deserves to have their birthday turned into a holiday? • What did they do that makes them special? Prayer Dear God, we thank you for this day and for the example of people like George Washington and Dr. King. Help us to remember that though they may have done great things, they’re people just like us. And in the same way they chose to love and serve others, we can choose to do that too. Amen.

    80. You Are Loved - Friday

    80. You Are LovedFriday - February 13, 2026 Delivering the gift to Brie helped her see that she is loved for who she is and not just what she does. Practicing Sabbath teaches us that our work is important, but if God is the one inviting us to rest, the world will not fall apart when we take a break. Discussion Question(s) • Now that we’re at the end of the week, how are you feeling? • Was there anything you did this week that felt like it filled you back up? • Who is someone you know who is appreciated mostly for what they do? And how might you let them know that they’re also loved for who they are? Prayer Dear God, we thank you for this week and for all of your blessings. We thank you for all that we were able to do, but we also thank you that you love us regardless of our achievements. Help us to find moments to rest this weekend so we can head into next week ready to follow wherever you lead us. Amen. Episode Music: Plainfield by LNDÖ --- 📝 Send Us Your Stories!

    79. Making Time for Sabbath - Thursday

    79. Making Time for SabbathThursday - February 12, 2026 We talk about the challenge of setting aside time for Sabbath rest, and how we can discover and take advantage of smaller moments throughout our day. Dan also reveals the gift he’s prepared for Brie. Discussion Question(s) • Are there any moments when you could set aside time for God and enjoy some Sabbath rest today? Prayer Dear God, we thank you that you always want what’s best for us. And so, your invitation to rest is not an extra thing to add to our day or our week, but it’s a gift that helps us be who you made us to be. Help us to make space for Sabbath rest - whether it’s a full day or just a few minutes - because any time dedicated to you is worth it. Amen.

    78. Rest is a Gift - Wednesday

    78. Rest is a GiftWednesday - February 11, 2026 We learn that from the very beginning of the Bible, rest has aways been a gift from God. Dan wonders if there’s a way the town can give Brie the gift of rest as well. Discussion Question(s) • How would you feel if you opened a present from God that contained the best night’s sleep of your life or the most fun weekend ever? Prayer Dear God, how incredible is it that after you gave us the gift of life, you immediately gave us the gift of rest? Not because we needed it or because we earned it, but because you love us. Help us to recognize rest as a gift and receive it with joy. Amen. Episode Music: Thoughts Unfolding on a Guitar by Kurtis Parks --- 📝 Send Us Your Stories! We love featuring listener submissions!
