INSTANT TAKEAWAYS

1 | YOU NEVER KNOW THE AMOUNT OF GRACE, UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT HE’S GIVEN YOU

He is there to carry us when we can’t pick ourselves up. This is what a relationship with a Father who provides looks like! He has promised us that he will never forsake us and that he will never give us more than we can handle. When we rely on God and lean into the Grace that he pours out on us, we are carried in his arms when our feet fail us. We can take solace and comfort in the fact that He is always on our side, he’s always there with us no matter how deep and black the hole in front of us seems. Trust in Him and in His love.

2 | WORSHIP DOESN’T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE SINGING

Worship is simply about connecting your heart to the Lords. So many times we see in our society that people express themselves through instruments and their voice in worship for the Lord. Which is amazing! But he is a kind, creative God that has designed us to connect with him in a million different ways. He wants our heart to be close to His and he has built into us, a DNA to be creative in our outward expression of our love for Him. Our worship comes from a different place for each of us, and means different things to Him, so it should look different!

3 | IT MATTERS WHERE YOUR HEART IS

As women, we’re generally the thermostat that sets the temperature of the home. There are seasons where you going through things just to get through them and running empty on fumes. There are seasons where you are running into circumstances that seem impossible and unbearable. It matters where you anchor yourself, and it matters where your heart resides. When you love on Jesus, when you point yourselves towards Him, “stuff and things” fall to the wayside in importance. We want you to overflow with the Love of Jesus, and gain perspective on where you are headed with Him. He will equip you with what you need to recharge, to build, and to love where we need.

SHOW NOTES

We are so excited to sit down with Shauna Chanda today on Anchor + Waves. Shauna is a good friend of Danny Oertli’s, here on staff, and she truly has an amazing story to share with us today. Please tune in as Shauna walks us through a few tragedies in her life, how she was able to rediscover her voice through those circumstances, and now desires that you are drawn a little nearer to the heart of God and are more aware than ever, of His passionate love for you!
