You weren't made to live in balance; you were designed to live in rhythm (Nick Newman)

Nick leads Propel Church in North Carolina— a church that's been around for 6 years. That means that HALF of their life has been DURING COVID. Several years ago, Nick found himself stuck in a drug addiction— one so bad, in fact, that he got expelled from his school. Jesus radically saved him. And, he turned and led a Bible study that same day. Years later, he planted a church in the SAME school where he was kicked-out… 800 salvations (and 376 baptisms) later, things have never looked better.   But it wasn't always that way. There were seasons of struggle. (One of the biggest values of coaching is that it empowers you to skip over another person's paint.) One of the main things Nick teaches other pastors, one of the pain-points he wants them to skip so they can live better? Rest. It's easy to skip over it. In fact, it's the ONLY of the 10 Commandments that most of us are OK ignoring. Think about it. No one ignores the forbiddance against adultery or idolatry. But, the Sabbath… is different. (And, since we're doing "eternal" work, it's easy to spiritualize our lack of rest.)   +++++++++++   Links for this show Teams Crash Course = www.CourageousPastors.com/cc  The Gathering =   www.CourageousPastors.com/gathering
