Roots and Wings – An online Meditation and Reflection Series

Who needs some soul care??!?!? Join us!!

The world is busy and noisy and there is so much happening at all times! It is absolutely imperative that we find time for rest and stillness so we can intentionally connect with God and with ourselves. This is counter cultural and it takes determination to carve out the space to make it happen! It is in these times of listening and reflecting that we discover who we are and where God is leading us!

We are inviting you to join us for an online meditation and reflection opportunity. We are calling this series “Roots and Wings” because we believe God is the source of both. When we root down into God’s presence, we receive the power to go out in the world and do what we were designed to do. If we are rooted in God’s presence, we are nourished by His Word and we are empowered by His Spirit to live with purpose and joy!

This 4-week soul care series is an opportunity for each of us to step out of the traffic of our daily cadence, and intentionally get still to listen to our thoughts, as well as become aware of the voice of The Lord. If you are here, we are certain you have responded to a Holy invitation.

Once you sign up, all you have to do is show up. There are ZERO, ABSOLUTELY NO expectations of you as you say “yes” to this invitation. This is completely a time for you to connect with the Lord. To rest and catch your breath. There is no additional community, there is no social media obligation, there is no verbal response needed, THIS IS FOR YOU, and you alone! You are invited to REST and RECEIVE. This is pure Soul Care, designed to nourish and strengthen you, to bring clarity and peace.

How it works: This series includes FOUR live/recorded 40 minute times of guided meditation and reflection (appointments with God). Each live session will be recorded. We will email you the recording of the call so you have it. These are for you to listen to and go back to as often as you desire. You can enjoy this set apart time any way you wish, if you desire stillness-it’s for you. If you long for movement, go for a walk and listen. THIS IS FOR YOU!

The first part of the call is a meditation. Amy Hoyte will lead the meditation based on Scripture. Amy is an adventurer in her original design.  Her heart and soul beat for time spent outdoor adventuring.  At the same time she longs for silence in the presence of the creator.  She has found the combination of outdoor adventure and contemplative silence to be a healing and restorative practice. Amy is the founder of Beautifully Made Adventures. Beautifully Made Adventures is an invitation for others to step into adventure, while at the same time finding presence with The Lord.

The second part of the call will include questions that invite you into deeper inquiry. Based on the meditation you just heard, you will be led to consider, “What is God saying to me?” You will be guided through a series of questions each week that help you apply God’s Word to your life. These questions are for you and you alone. You will not be expected to respond or discuss or share. You can journal if you want or just ponder in your heart. It’s totally for you. This part will be led by Sue Bidstrup. Sue is a Life Coach with Great Big YES! (greatbigyes.com and @greatbigyes) She was certified through Christian Coach Institute and is on mission to help people live with Peace and Joy! Sue is passionate about encouraging YOU to say YES! to a greater calling in your life, to live with passion and purpose and make a difference in the world! She recognizes to do this, it is essential for all of us to take time to meet with the Lord and connect authentically to ourselves, to explore our desires and values and gifts and deepest longings so we can live the life we were created to live.
