Episode 21 (Season 2) Rest: As You Go About Your Day Guest: Elizabeth Robinson

About the Episode:
Join us for a series on Rest in which we discuss what it means to take time to be still in a world that is so addicted to activity. We are going to talk about how rhythms of rest, stillness, and quiet can be a blessing in our lives. In this episode, Mark interviews Elizabeth Robinson on her journey of faith and prayer through a growing family, being led by the Lord to Scripture, and her calling to intercession. What is intercession? Elizabeth and Mark discuss the joy of ‘standing in the gap for another’ in prayer and the privilege of coming directly and boldly to the throne of grace because of Jesus Christ. If you experience feelings of inadequacy, you are not alone. Tune in to hear Elizabeth share about how God showed her that loving Him is the greatest calling, and we can find true joy through asking for His presence as we go about our day.
