Event Details
Your right now matters. Discover how to press in and not check out.
Do you ever feel like your present moment is so far from where you really long to be? Do you ever struggle with embracing your right now because you are so focused on the future?Too often, we feel disappointed with our "right now"—our life circumstances, our relationships, our lack progress towards our dreams and goals, our daily grind. We want to do so many things—good, godly things—but our situations don't allow us to step into them.
In Now and Not Yet, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons has a powerful message for you when we're restless in our current season of life and just waiting—waiting to get beyond the pain, waiting for God to show up, waiting to get to tomorrow—she reminds you that it's okay to not like the right now we've been given, but we don't have to like it to lean in.
Join Ruth as she shares a beautiful invitation for us to:
• Embrace the biblical truth that someday is made up of thousands of right nows.
• Discern how the difficult parts of our lives are actually a unique gift from God by discovering five ways to flip the script on a hard season.
• Stop feeling trapped when we're not where we want to with guided liturgies for what we are facing today.
• Live faithfully in the tension between what is and what is not yet.
Now and Not Yet will help us see that our right now matters. And we can choose to press in and not check out. With deep compassion, Ruth will help us see how God is profoundly present, how He wastes nothing, how He’s active and using this exact moment for the very purposes he's calling us to.
