“Is the life you lead the life that longs to live in you?”
Today’s Best of The Living Room Summer Series features Rebekah Lyons and her book Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose.
Rebekah’s story of embracing the unexpected curveballs in her life rather than allowing them to steal her peace has resonated with so many women. Having special needs children has greatly shaped her sense of purpose and trust in God. She shares ways we can all function within the rhythms God established for us, and through doing so, discover our God-given purpose and the rest He offers for our souls.
