Cultivate the Everyday: Worship is Always the Answer
Monday Apr 25, 2022
Monday Apr 25, 2022
Lydia shares her experience at a recent event for songwriters, and what she learned about the importance of the disciplines of worship and prayer in our daily walk with Jesus. She reminds us that each new day, we need to start with prayer and worship to prepare our hearts for the battles we will face throughout the day. Then, as we go throughout our day and we face these battles, big or small, the answer is always to go back to a place of worship + communion with the Lord.

In this new season of The Cultivate Podcast, we are excited to grow in Cultivating Connection - with God and others. 2020 was a year of often feeling somewhat "disconnected" from others, but we believe that we serve a God who created us for connection with himself and with other people. We are going to set the tone for this season today by focusing in on a phrase that you may have heard before: love God and love others. But what does that actually mean and how do we do that well in our daily lives? We unpack this and provide some biblical insight and practical advice in today's episode!
