From the Russos’ own experiences growing up in a large Italian family to the film’s central relationship between Michelle and her robot brother Kid Cosmo, family relationships both on and off of the set were the key to bringing The Electric State to life.

I’ll walk you through the key habits in my current morning routine, not to tell you what to include in yours, but to show you how to use a framework that can flex with the time you have available on any given day. Here’s what I’m believing for you: hunger to know God more fully and grace for what it looks like in your actual life.

We get both–the imposter syndrome and the subtly-inflating self-impression. We shame and doubt ourselves, wondering who we are to think God can use us for His grand purpose. And we’re also guilty of esteeming ourselves too highly, as if our value has anything to do with us and not the One who breathed undeserved worth into our lungs just because He loves us so.

After a rich, tear-wet journey through the Old Testament searching for who God is on every page, resting in His endless love felt like a bear hug. Again and again and again the truth that God’s love never runs out and is always meant for us brought strength to my soul, filling me for another day of pouring out. Links mentioned: 1.

It hits like the curled top of an ocean wave: every name I’ve penned in Bible margins, in answer to Ann Voskamp’s question in Sacred Prayer –”Who do I say that God is today? (Mark 8:29)”–is who God is in the right-now. Not a single descriptor is merely a past-tense attribute of God’s nature. Each name spans as far back and reaches as far beyond as endless eternity.

188 - Three Unique Ways To Repeat What You Need To Believe 8:14

9 weeks fa8:14

8:14

This morning, wide awake way too early, I pondered how there’s nothing else I’d rather have running through my head when I can’t sleep than the weighty glory of God Himself. Unless I proactively tell my thoughts where to dwell, they wander willful and easily distracted. I lean into lies that incite fear or unworth rather than lean on the One who knows every tender hope and unspoken prayer. Maybe that’s you too. And you’re ready to change the string of what-if’s and self-belittling on repeat inside your head. Ready to root deep in what you need to believe: That God’s good in the middle of the story. Capable even when it appears all’s gone awry. Worthy of praise long before He brings redemption. So I want to tuck a few ideas in your hand for holding onto truth–tried and true ones that I personally use. They all hinge on repetition, which I find to be the gentlest, most effective way to adjust trajectory. Links mentioned: 1.

186 - Soul-Sister Friendship: What We Crave + How to Find It 8:14

11 weeks fa8:14

8:14

It’s a hopeful whisper: soul-sister friendship. Isn’t that what we long beneath the obligatory “I’m good! How are you?” and mustered-up smiles and silent sighs? We want something more than surfacy talk about movies and weather, car lines and school projects. More than flighty friendship that unravels over bent feelings and assumptions. Perhaps your heart-felt prayer is not for more friends but deeper friendship. The kind that welcomes your crying face into the chaos of the kitchen and hugs you with flour-dusted hands. The kind that pauses and makes space, knows before you say anything, loves fiercely when it’s inconvenient, remains loyal when it’s costly. The kind we find between two would-be rivals–a prince and God-chosen king, Jonathan and David–in the book of 1 Samuel. Links mentioned: 1.

How would you talk with God if you knew He was walking around in your house? I recently read a mandate God had spoken to the Israelites through Moses: “Treat your camp as a sacred place because the Eternal your God will be walking around in it” (Deut. 23:14, The Voice). And I wonder, what would it change if we knew how paper-thin is the distance between God and us? If we knew He was right here when we’re worn from wonted rhythms? When loss hits and questions rise? When we have to make wretched-hard decisions in this busted-up world? Links mentioned: 1. To get a short, doable tip in your inbox every week to help you get to know your neighbors, sign up here. 2.
