In this honest check-in, I share why I’m temporarily shifting from two episodes a week while juggling law school, newborn life, and midterms—and I re-air one of your most requested episodes: Rhythm over Routine . We close out the “How to Make Spirit-Led Business Decisions” mini-series with a practical framework for building a business in step with the Spirit , not driven by hustle or ego. If you’ve ever felt productive yet disconnected from God, this one will set you free. What You’ll Learn The difference between routine (checkbox faith) and rhythm (daily dependence) Why “keeping in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16–26) is a lifestyle , not a morning checklist The 4-part framework: Abide → Align → Act → Assess How digital distraction, time scarcity, and information overload sabotage intimacy with God—and what to do about it Practical ways to reduce noise (limits, notifications, sacred windows) and protect your secret place How to evaluate fruit and course-correct with grace (not performance) Key Scriptures Galatians 5:16–26 – Walk by the Spirit; fruit of the Spirit; keep in step John 15:5 – Abiding in the Vine to bear fruit Luke 10:38–42 – Martha vs. Mary (routine vs. rhythm) Exodus 16 – Daily manna: dependence over hoarding Mark 1:35; John 5:19 – Jesus’ pace and posture: presence over pressure The Rhythm Framework (Quick Reference) Abide: Guard intimacy with God; create sacred windows; reduce digital noise. Align: Test ideas, opportunities, and pivots against Scripture, God’s character, and the peace of the Spirit. Act: Move with faith and flexibility—be interruptible and obedient. Assess: Measure fruit (Gal. 5:22–23), review outcomes with the Spirit, and course-correct as needed. Practical Tips Mentioned Put time limits on social apps; silence non-essential notifications. Try an information fast (step back from extra voices/content). Schedule sacred windows (daily/weekly) for prayer, stillness, and listening. Run decisions through discernment filters : Scripture consistency, peace, timing, assignment fit. Series Recap (Parts 1–3) Part 1: Acts 8:26–40 — Strategic decisions led by the Holy Spirit Part 2: Acts 13:1–4 — Worship, fasting, submission → divine clarity Part 3: Acts 16:6–10 — Mobility and flexibility in Spirit-led pivots Q&A I’m lining up Q&A episodes to pour out what God’s been teaching me during this season.
