A little encouragement and word of hope for your d A little encouragement and word of hope for your day. . "We can see hope in the midst of hopelessness. We can see peace in the midst of chaos. We have a hope that the world does not have. We can see clearly that all things work together for the good of them that love Him and are called according to His purpose." - Priscilla Shirer
From heartbreak to miracle. . Pastor Tanisha and h From heartbreak to miracle. . Pastor Tanisha and her husband Joel experienced 3 miscarriages in a row before they’d finally see their miracle and have a healthy baby born. We know that there are many women who have, or are walking through a situation like this and our prayer is that God would give you the strength to navigate the uncertainty, loss, and hurt. Hopefully this story can remind us all to keep trusting God even when things seem impossible. . The full story will be available on the Parallel Church YouTube channel (link in bio). . . . . #griefjourney #miscarriage #mothers #miracleshappen

Contrary to popular belief, Sabbath is not about s Contrary to popular belief, Sabbath is not about silence and solitude. Part of Sabbath can be for personal reflection and spiritual growth, but the essence of Sabbath is about coming together as a community to celebrate and connect with one another. . In fact, throughout the Bible, Sabbath is described as a time for communal feasting and celebration. It's a day to break bread with each other, to laugh and sing, and to enjoy each other's company. This is why Sabbath has always been an important part of Christian heritage and tradition. . In our fast-paced world, it can be challenging to slow down and set aside time for rest and reflection. But it’s important to make Sabbath a priority in your life. . . . . #sabbathday #biblicalliving #bibleteaching #biblicaltruth #sabbathrest #familytime #familymatters #raisingchristiankids #christianparenting

What would happen if you set aside one day centered around you as a family enjoying dinners, conversations, and even getting out and exploring together? Whether it's a day of rest, relaxation, or adventure, a family sabbath could be a game-changer and help us counter the constant cultural push always to be busy and on the go. . . . . #familyfirst #familyday #familytradition #familymemories #christianparents #christianparenting #parentingtips #christianvalues #christiantraditions #parentinglife #parentsofinstagram
🚫Hustle culture in the Church. . Pastors and t 🚫Hustle culture in the Church. . Pastors and those in ministry aren’t immune to the unhealthy culture of striving, achieving, and always trying to accomplish more. Even more dangerous might be that we use obligation to ministry as an excuse to do it. It’s time we prioritize our soul health so that we can be even more effective in ministry. ​​. ​​So whether you’re on staff at a church or a volunteer, permit yourself not always to have to be doing more. Rest, refresh, and restore; our soul health is a metric we can’t ignore. . #pastor #pastorslife #churchministry #churchlife #servingjesus #christianposts #hustleculture #mentalhealthtips #christiancounseling

For many of us, the idea of resting means taking it too easy and not striving hard enough toward what we feel called to do. But the Bible reminds us that rest is part of the rhythm God designed for us. In Hebrews, we see that drawing closer to God is part of the process. . So for all the overachievers and the workaholics out there, here’s your permission to develop a healthy habit of rest. . . . . #faithjourney #workaholicproblems #biblicalcounseling #biblicalliving #christianreels #christianposts #christianliving #faithjourney #journeyoffaith
