Hey friends, welcome to the Rhythms for Life Podcast where each week we talk about four rhythms

that help you reduce stress and anxiety and take charge of your emotional health. Rest,

restore, connect, create. These ideas come from Rebecca's best-selling book,

Rhythms of Renewal, trading stress and anxiety for a life of peace and purpose. So grab your

copy, invite your friends, and let's live in rhythm.

Hi, this is Gabe and welcome and we're so glad that you've joined us today for this conversation.

You're going to hear in just a moment with Rebecca and Gretchen Soffles. I'll tell you more about

continue to invite people into it. We're always so encouraged by the comments, the feedback.

It's one of these things we keep coming back to on a weekly basis or a monthly basis or we find

ourselves getting off track and losing sight of some of these rhythms and we get too busy

connecting and creating and not resting and not restoring. And so it's difficult to do all of these

at the same time, but it's possible and it's possible in communities. So I hope you'll continue

to encourage others. Don't do this alone. Don't lose heart if you feel like you've gotten off track

and maybe you listening to this today is one way back on track. And so I hope it encourages you

today. I also want to remind you in just a couple of weeks, we're going to be here in Frank. Can we
