#12: Living in Abundance

Aired:
August 21, 2022
Host:
Pastor Kenneth Price
Guests:
Eric Kuhn

We are looking at the summer of 2022, assessing our rhythms, and looking to address areas where we made need to press the 'pause' button. Where we need to stop and say, "Jesus, I need you in this space." This podcast is a call to the heart of our people to say "how can we be more intentional?" It's through rhythms and practices that we want to encourage you to follow Jesus's heart in a way you haven't before. And ultimately to live a more intentional and Christ-filled life.

Moments To Remember

  • Eucharisteo: living a life of thankfulness, living in grace which leads to joy which leads to gratitude
  • "Abiding is not passive. We are actively living and dwelling in the place God has called us to." -Kenneth Price
  • "In our souls, even when it's chaotic, even when it's sorrowful, we can experience joy." -Eric Kuhn
  • "Happiness is circumstantial. Joy is not. That abundance where--no matter the season or circumstance--we can experience the joy of God." -Eric Kuhn
  • Learning to hold sorrow and joy in the same hand
  • "There are cycles of death and resurrection in all of our lives that continues--and that is one of the main ways Jesus sanctifies us." -Eric Kuhn
  • "I try to look at gratitude as the pathway to abundance. Not abundance for abundance's sake, but abundance in Jesus where I'm not living from a spiritual reserve tank and just dragging into the work He's doing through me, but fully moving into it." -Kenneth Price
  • "Gratitude as a practice can free us from so many things. It is is the enemy of discontentment." -Kenneth Price

  • "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. -John 15:8-11
