How can we clear away distractions, old wounds, or unhealthy habits to make room for Jesus to work in us?What’s one area of your life where you feel called to "declutter" or let go of something that is holding you back spiritually? It could be a thought pattern, an old hurt, or a particular distraction.

Lent is a season of growth, but it’s not about rushing or overwhelming ourselves. It’s about slowing down, being intentional, and allowing God to transform us at a steady pace. In a world that constantly urges us to move faster, Lent invites us to cultivate peace in our hearts, trusting that spiritual growth comes through patience and persistence.Let's chat about the need to Slow Down During Lent, how to recognize Peace in the Midst of Daily Life, and of course practicing patience and trust in God's timing.What are some practical Ways to live Slow and Steady?  How can we rely on God’s grace to strengthen our hearts and minds, especially when we feel like we’re not moving fast enough?As we reflect on how we can cultivate a peaceful, steady heart during Lent, we invite you to share your thoughts and experiences!! What are some small steps you’re taking to embrace the slow and steady rhythm of grace this season?

In our busy, always-connected lives, it can be hard to find moments of true silence—yet it’s in silence that we can hear God’s voice and deepen our relationship with Him.Join us for this Q&A as we discuss the power of silence in our spiritual lives, practical ways to turn down the volume (bye-bye apps?), the gift of solitude - and we get it, sometimes it feels more like a curse than a gift! We will also look into breaking free from distractions and dare we say it, living out silence as a family (or with our loved ones).As always, we want to hear your thoughts and experiences of embracing the stillness. How can we “turn down the volume” in our lives this Lent to hear God more clearly and grow deeper in faith?

Change is _________. (fill in the blank) Whether it's exciting, refreshing, terrifying or uncomfortable, the important thing to remember is that our openness to change is a reflection of our trust in the Lord. Where is the Lord requiring change that we haven't accepted? Are you currently in a season of change or just recently get out of it? How has it been for you? Let's chat about what this openness can look like and how the Lord can always do NEW things, even if they're unexpected or beyond our comprehension. We'd love to hear about the beautiful changes the Lord has brought in your life.  We will be live every Tuesday at 1pm ET in our BIS Member Community and we'd love to see you there!
