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.
