Menlo Midweek: The Key to Having it All | Matt Stephan

This week Mark and Jess sit down with Matt Stephan to continue our conversation around a slow pace, and be sure to stick around for a very special ending segment of the podcast!

 

Does it sometimes feel like you’re spending most of your life in transit? Getting from one place to another, waiting to begin, standing in line, hoping a meeting will end—just so you can get to your next task or meeting?

What if, instead of rushing through these everyday moments as quickly as possible, there was a way to fill them with God’s presence? What if these moments could become more like what the Christmas message is about? What if there was a secret to having it all that you could begin practicing right away, starting Monday morning?

Join us as we discuss Bay Area residents’ two most hated words, which may actually turn out to be quite life-giving. Come and receive Jesus’s presence as a gift all over again!

This Christmas you are invited to a life-changing but difficult task: To wait. To go slow. The coming of Jesus, the Messiah King, came after 400 years of waiting and anticipation. God is not hurried. Every moment he whispers, “I am with you.” We have to slow down to hear that whisper. The resources at http://menlo.church/advent will help you slow down and set your mind and heart upon Jesus during this busy, hurried holiday season.
