In this world that we live, we can so often find ourselves experiencing feelings of discontentment and restlessness in our soul. The temptation of the enemy is a familiar one to us all: to replace these feelings with anything but Jesus. As we reflect on the rhythms of our lives, we might recognize those things that take up the most weight in our hearts, that overwhelm our thought life; those things that we will reprioritize the schedule of our lives because we so desperately believe that they will bring us fulfillment. This bent in our hearts toward the addictive is no stranger to any of us and in this episode of the Rooted Rhythms podcast we are joined by Chris Dew, who served as one of our speakers at NRCA’s Spiritual Emphasis Week this year. Chris’s story highlights his own pursuit to fill the void he felt in his soul and the ways the Lord so graciously and mercifully rescued him from his addiction.Chris’s story is one that we can see parts of our own story in. While the pursuit or idol may not be the same, the inclination to chase after things that we think will bring us peace, joy, or contentment is something that we can all recognize in our own lives.And I am so thankful that we serve a loving and merciful Creator who meets us in our mess and offers restoration and true peace that is only found in Him.I pray that this episode encourages each of us as we are reminded of the faithfulness of God and that this conversation would spur us to deeper reflection on those areas of our lives we might be chasing, that we might instead turn our eyes back to Jesus.
