Summary

We live in a world that tells us to hustle harder, do more, be better. But Jesus offers a different way - not striving, but abiding.

In this week’s Weekly Visit, Beth and Jenna will unpack what it means to:

Live from connection, not performance
Choose relationship with Jesus over spiritual burnout
Recognize when we’ve slipped into striving and how to return to rest
Abide in His love in the midst of real-life responsibilities

If you’ve been feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying faith on your own strength… this is your reminder:

Abiding is not passive, it’s powerful.

Come rest, receive, and reconnect with Jesus.

Join us every Tuesday at 1pm ET in the BIS Member Community for The Weekly Visit!
