Today we are looking at how God can use anywhere to connect with us…even Walmart. I have to admit that most of the time I think about listening to God's voice, it usually holds the idea of what danger am I putting myself in by not listening. However, I was reminded that while heeding God's voice can certainly keep us safe, it can also be a way for Him to bless us or bring something good into our lives…or even help us find something we have been looking for.

So, how do you recognize God's voice? Do you question or reason it away or do you listen and obey? What steps are you taking to get more acquainted with His voice so that you hear it more clearly and can obey more quickly? What experiences have you had with hearing God's voice and choosing to follow it or not? Feel free to leave a comment or send me an email. I would love to hear your experience! pursuingconnectiontoday@gmail.com.

Today we are looking at connection through the lens of dreams. Not necessarily the dreams you have while sleeping, but the dreams that live deep inside you. The ones that never go away regardless of how much time passes. Sometimes they are tiny voices calling to you from a far away place and other times they are the loudest voice of silence resonating throughout your whole body.

What dreams have you had on pause? Which ones call you to you in the silence? Dreams that stick with you are worth pursuing, so keep them as your target and do whatever you can to make them your reality no matter how long it takes. Life is full of uncertainty and tomorrow is not promised. I encourage you to go after the dreams you have; choose to make them a priority because there is only one you and the world needs what you have to offer.

The world is changing, the way people communicate is changing and in some ways communication and friendship have become a bit transactional. Time seems to be going by faster and faster and we have more and more things that fill the time we do have.

So today, I encourage you to reconnect to deep friendships that may have lost their spark or seek to cultivate new ones with the goal of truly connecting with another person beyond the surface. And while you're at it, ask God who He made you to be. He might just choose to speak to you in an elevator.

Today, we are pursuing connection through storytelling. Regardless of who we are or where we come from, we are all human and thus connected by our experiences. We all feel joy, pain, love, fear, anger, hope and sadness. These common elements connect us in ways we don't often realize, and my goal is to become more aware of them and actively pursue these connections as often as possible.

Whether from a conversation, a book or podcast or a place or experience. I am always on the lookout for a point of connection...and quite often, storytelling can be the best connector of all.

Today, we are pursuing connection with God by discussing my journey of reading through the Bible. I talk about the approach I have found success with and hope you will be inspired to create a reading plan of your own.

Life can be chaotic and challenging and often leaves us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. Join us as we pursue intentional connection to God, self, others, creativity, money and more. If you are looking for inspiration to change your course, gain a new perspective and breathe new life into your every day, meet us here each week as we pursue connection together.

Today, we start at the core by defining our values. I walk through the process I followed to identify my core values and I hope you will be inspired to do the same.
