What if spiritual growth isn’t about trying harder, but practicing the ways of Jesus with a steady pace?
In this message, Pastor Abbie opens our Rule of Life series in Luke 10, where Jesus sends out the 72 with simple, Spirit-led strategy. You’re invited to travel light, stay present, go together, and trust God with the outcomes. Along the way, Abbie contrasts a performance mindset with a practice mindset—reminding us that we don’t show up to be perfect, we show up to keep showing up.
You’ll also hear a practical picture of New Culture’s Rule of Life (daily Scripture and prayer, pauses, examen, Sabbath, fasting, worship, community, and seeking renewal), plus a story of generosity from Big Give that points to God’s surprising provision. The message closes with an invitation to slow down, build sustainable rhythms, and find true joy rooted in Jesus—because the win isn’t outcomes…it’s belonging to Him.
