WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.040 Posture is a short audible fist bump to remind you God is with you in everything. 2 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:15.200 Together we're going to be emboldened to take a daily posture of perfect peace. 3 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:17.280 So today's episode is different. 4 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.520 This is more of a family time. 5 00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:22.640 This is an update for the posture community. 6 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.920 We are almost at the end of November. 7 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.480 The holiday season is upon us. 8 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.600 We have lots of holy days ahead of us as we're about to enter into the last little 9 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.160 bit of 2020. 10 00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:39.960 And so I wanted you to know that I've decided to take a break from my formal episode schedule, 11 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.480 which right now is three times a week for the rest of the year. 12 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.240 And I'm doing that so that I can plan and prepare for 2021. 13 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.520 And I'm encouraged by this. 14 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.000 Even Jesus took time off. 15 00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:01.520 Even Jesus took time to be away from the crowds and recharge and connect with his father. 16 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:06.320 And it didn't seem to negatively affect his ministry at all. 17 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:10.520 You know, I'm learning that in order for us to go the distance and all God has called 18 00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:17.840 us to, we must trust God, not just with our work, but also with our rest. 19 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.720 And I know it's hard for a lot of us to take a rest, to take a break, but I wanted to put 20 00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:23.720 that into practice. 21 00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:27.000 And so I'm doing that by taking this break. 22 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.680 Now I want you to know that there are some really exciting plans in the works for Posture 23 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.240 for 2021. 24 00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:40.160 And one thing I know about slower restful seasons is that creativity flows like a rushing 25 00:01:40.160 --> 00:01:42.240 river in those seasons. 26 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:47.840 So even though I will not be releasing the normal three episodes a week, I will be popping 27 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.280 in from time to time, connecting with you because I would love your feedback and your 28 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:53.280 ideas. 29 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.800 I would love for you to be involved in helping me create what 2021 could look like for the 30 00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:01.000 Posture community. 31 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.660 Posture launched in February of this year. 32 00:02:03.660 --> 00:02:07.320 We are now 141 episodes in. 33 00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:13.480 We have over 20,000 people in our community across our social and podcast platforms, and 34 00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:17.720 we're just getting started, which is pretty exciting to think about. 35 00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:23.040 And I know that there are people in this community, some of you I've talked to in my DMs, who share 36 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:29.480 my desire to leverage the digital landscape to disciple nations. 37 00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:32.680 And I want to help you do that. 38 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:38.280 So be on the lookout for more details about that and what we have planned for 2021. 39 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.840 Just one practical note, because only the Lord knows what the algorithms will be like 40 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.260 on social media next month. 41 00:02:45.260 --> 00:02:49.660 If you don't want to miss any of those updates, I do have an email list that I

community. 55 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:29.400 I treasure your encouragement, and I'm so glad that we connected this year through Posture. 56 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:39.440 I want to declare Isaiah 55, 12, 13 over you as you finish out 2020 strong and enter 2021 57 00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:40.800 full of hope. 58 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:47.240 It says for you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace. 59 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:54.520 The mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing and all the trees 60 00:03:54.520 --> 00:04:01.480 of the field shall clap their hands instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress instead 61 00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:08.920 of the briar shall come up the myrtle and it shall make a name for the Lord and everlasting 62 00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:12.800 sign that shall not be cut off. 63 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.399 The promise of perfect peace is found in Isaiah 26, 3. 64 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:26.280 In Hebrew, it is Shalom, Shalom, meaning complete wholeness, nothing missing, nothing broken. 65 00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:30.960 This is who you are in Jesus because of Jesus. 66 00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:34.920 You are a living testimony of Jesus's ultimate win. 67 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:41.000 With every step you take today, you're putting Jesus's victory on display and Satan's defeat 68 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:41.500 on replay.
