Dear Radiant,
We’re excited to hear from Jim Jacobs this Sunday, here is a little preview from Jim:
On Tuesday night I had a dream. I was in a courtyard walking and talking with a priest. I remember asking him about his life, and his kids, and suddenly realizing that his life was different from mine. I woke up suddenly when Theo started crying from the other room. Afterwards the dream remained with me. I began praying, and asking the Lord what it meant. Why was I talking with a priest? Why did this dream stay so vividly in my mind? After a while I felt this sense of the word “Discipline”. The priest has different disciplines in his life that help him in his pursuit of God. What are the disciplines in my life that help me pursue God? What can I change in 2025? Last week Zach shared about different tools to help in 2025 with our walk with God. This week I’d like to explore the best advice for growing in our pursuit of God.”
See you Sunday at 10AM!
