EPISODE 22: Sacred Rhythms | Day 22 Leading With God's Heart
Day 22 of Leading with God's Heart could transform your entire approach to life and leadership. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1 ("There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity"), Desiree Day explores how God embedded rhythms into creation—and into you.
Day and night. Seasons of growth and rest. Planting and harvesting. Your heartbeat, your breath, the ocean's tides—all operate in rhythm. Yet we often live as if we're exempt, pushing ourselves to constant productivity, ignoring our bodies' signals, resisting natural seasons. We treat ourselves like machines and wonder why we're breaking down.
Sacred rhythms honor our creaturely limitations while maximizing our God-given potential. As leaders, establishing healthy rhythms isn't self-care—it's stewardship of the influence God has given us. It models sustainable spirituality and prevents the burnout that sidelines so many passionate servants.
This episode invites you to align your life with God's rhythmic design: work and rest, community and solitude, speaking and listening, giving and receiving. The shift action guides you to identify one area lacking rhythm and design one concrete change to bring balance, implementing it today. You'll discover that living in rhythm with God's design doesn't limit your effectiveness—it multiplies it.
Scripture focus: Ecclesiastes 3:1
