Summary

For those of you who live a life of constant confrontation- whether it's with the status quo or injustice, you know what it's like to push through. You've developed the fortitude, strength, and resilience to keep moving and keep fighting. But, have you developed the "unforced rhythms of grace" you need to continuously restore your soul, too?

As we transition to summer, this is your official invitation to take care of yourself. We all need you to be at your best and have everything you need internally to keep fighting the fight.

Christine Caine is an Australian born, Greek blooded, lover of Jesus, a sought-after international speaker, author and activist. Known for her ability to effectively communicate a message of hope, Christine has a heart for reaching the lost, strengthening leadership, and championing the cause of justice. Together with her husband, Nick, she founded the anti-human trafficking organization, The A21 Campaign–a recipient of the Mother Theresa Memorial Award for their work combating human trafficking among refugees. They also founded Propel Women, an organization designed to celebrate every woman’s passion, purpose, and potential. Christine and Nick make their home in Southern California with their daughters, Catherine and Sophia.

Her latest book, How Did I Get Here? Finding Your Way Back to God When Everything is Pulling You Away is now available.

0:11.1	I'm Scott Schimmel, your host, and I want to say happy summer.
0:14.5	Well, we're not all there yet, but so many of us still operate on the school calendar,
