Ariel and Jeff recount recent trials in their life and where God is reaching them in it. Old scriptures have new life as our hearts gain more alignment with God's heart in them. The process of organizing oneself around God rather than the trial or the pain is the way Jesus made possible for us.

It's hard to be people who need and be honest about where we need, how much we need, when we need etc. And God wants to come through right there for us. Jeff and Ariel share their cluster month of trials that had their backs against the wall and the dramatic and personal ways God came through that has them retelling the story to everyone they bump into.

In Jesus' promises to us He includes peace, rest and comfort. Jeff shares his most recent experience from fear, exhaustion and avoidance to Jesus' promises. Episode referenced: 10 - Presence Grows Our Heart Song referenced: To Cry For You by Carolyn Arends

We relisten to Jeff's story believing that wherever God is present there is more life to receive. Ariel and Jeff reflect on where Jeff has grown since then and how that shows up in daily life.

Did you watch the Olympics? Me too. And it always brings up many emotions for me since my childhood dream was to become an Olympic gymnast. But this year, God redeemed and restored my story in a big way.

God gives us the gift of cycle and seasons in our world as well as in our heart. We relisten to Ariel's Story to reflect and expect God to reveal more in it. Jeff and Ariel unpack the new fruit from an old story.

The transitions we allow our hearts to have and the room to be where we are before acting and speaking is the space we explore here. Increasing and practicing space with Jesus as we live will also increase our experience of His abundance in us. Jeff and Ariel share parenting and personal scenarios from recent life to illustrate.

Has God ever brought you into His possible through your impossible? Ariel shares her journey through impossibilities to get to God's possible for her and with her inside a retreat.

Jeff and Ariel share 3 personal stories and 1 story from the Bible illustrating God's co-creating context with us. God wants to fill in the context for our hearts as only He can. He brings the complete picture.

What is it like for you to need? How you relate to your needs reveals how you're seeing God in your life. Jeff and Ariel share personal stories of how they've treated their needs and stories of recent growth with God.

Our internal and external experiences all matter in the Kingdom of God. Our assumptions can put us at an "off" starting point, one that is incomplete or missing truth. Jeff and Ariel share stories and examples for getting back to complete Reality with Jesus.

Jesus wants us to look at our hearts WITH Him and when that involves pain, we can be reluctant. We'd rather He work on places in us that we don't like without us having to go there. Yet the richness of His love and deeper connection await us when we choose to go with Him. Jeff and I share some day to day example from our lives with Jesus.

Recent stories around groceries and Christmas where Jesus showed up visibly and tangibly in our needs. We practice connecting our hopes in Jesus that root and establish our hearts in Love, who is God, and anchor us into 2021.

Why traditions? Does it do good for our hearts? God thinks so. We look at how to assess our chosen holiday traditions for the good God intended for each of our hearts.

Receiving the whole heart of Jesus with thankfulness brings refreshment. The Holy Spirit enables us to receive. We are lifted by lyrics from Bethel Music's Pieces looking at God's heart as well as by the fruit of the spirit in the scripture reading from Galations 5:22-26.

Actively resting in Jesus is an overseeing of our hearts connecting with His heart. Jeff and Ariel read from Isaiah and pray over our resting connection in Jesus.

Ariel coaches Cindy supporting her in facing the obstacles competing for her attention. Cindy regains ground, re-owning her heart, reconnecting her heart to God's heart.

We want to notice sooner when we're disconnected from Love, our God, and return to connection with Him. Looking at the parable of lost sons, we're given examples of being disconnected and what it looks like to regain connection: dialoguing with the father.

Our deep desires are God given. It can be difficult to trust the good hearts He gave us afresh in Jesus when so much around us screams "scarcity" and "impossible". Here is our journey through impossible to possible.

Presence of Love, who is our Father God, is the source of our ability to live, give, love etc. We return again to this important look at what presence is, how to receive it and value it as we offer it to other hearts in our lives.
