Submit to One Another
LETTER BY BRIAN MORYKON
Perhaps your week, like mine, has felt hurried and hectic — an unsustainable pace. Or perhaps you have lived in a healthy rhythm of work and rest. Either way, let’s even now take a deep breath and give thanks that it doesn’t all depend on us.
“It is imperative for the human race to learn how to intentionally navigate life at a livable pace,” writes Nathan Foster in his article on soul-care.
Richard Foster, Lacy Borgo, and Steve Fawver join Nate this week on the podcast to remind us we can’t change ourselves or make others change (a temptation in pastoral ministry). We can only offer ourselves — and bring others — to God who transforms.
