Summary

Join me every Monday for a quick burst of inspiration on our “Monday Moment” segment.

In spite of adversity, there remains reason for hope, truth and even joy.

Today, I share a recent social media post that has resonated with our online community, and it's a reminder we all need to hear.

Also, if you or your organization are seeking hope, perspective + confidence to fight through this season, let us help you. For a dozen years, we've created virtual video programming for our clients. If we can be part of the solution for you, email [email protected].

To help combat fear, isolation and other uncertainty around coronavirus, I created a 21-day challenge to inspire our community to focus on what they can control and to remain ferociously optimistic that their best remains ahead. Sign up for the IN AWE 21-Day Challenge here.

0:50.4	I hope you enjoy it. For the last several weeks, my kids and I have missed out on

1:19.8	of our spreading pandemic lies forever altered and a deepening recession can feel a bit overwhelming
1:26.5	and even hopeless.
1:28.9	And yet, I love those words, and yet, when I stop looking ahead at what might happen next
1:35.3	and instead look around at what's happening right in front of me, I realized for 25 consecutive nights,
1:43.2	I've sat with my five favorite people gathered around a table with food on it.
1:50.5	For 25 nights, we prayed for relief for our global community to get better, both in regards to COVID-19, and for those impacted already economically.

2:06.0	And for 25 nights, we've given thanks as a family for all that we still have.
