Discover your unique calling and learn how to live with purpose, as mentor and coach Dave Jewitt joins us to share his wisdom on embracing an abiding relationship with Jesus. Together, we dissect the elements that define our walk with God—abilities, stories, skills, passions, spiritual gifts, and personalities—offering an actionable roadmap for anyone seeking clarity on their life's direction. I'll share my own journey of how Dave's teachings have provided me with the tools to make decisions aligned with my true purpose, enhancing my life and ministry along the way.
In our heartfelt discussion, we unveil the critical role of 'abiding in Christ' for a life that bears fruit. We reflect on Jesus' final teachings and stress the necessity of fostering a loving relationship with Him, spotlighting daily practices such as prayer, scriptural reflection, and praise that keep us rooted in God's presence. Understanding the challenges of staying true to our spiritual focus, we delve into the consequences of negative emotions and how the Holy Spirit's influence can steer us back to the circle of abiding, allowing us to thrive in our Kingdom impact.
Finally, we confront the harsh realities of doubt and disillusionment that can creep into our spiritual journey. We address the downward spiral caused by a loss of trust and how it can silently erode our mental health and faith. Yet, there is a path to recovery and spiritual vitality, marked by protective relationships and a renewed confidence in God's voice. Join us as we celebrate the journey back to spiritual empowerment, where trust transforms burdens into freedom, and daily communion with Jesus leads to an invigorated, mature faith.
