  Which are you...striving for perfect, or settled and present?   
  You can't be both.   
  We’re all pushing for something, for the life we think we want. We strive and strain and orchestrate and negotiate, in hopes of stitching together an existence that satisfies, but in the end, all that forced movement, all that contrived exertion, leaves us writhing in pain, in agony, right inside the reality we ourselves created. The pain shows up in addiction. Or in a string of failed relationships. It shows up in overeating, overdrinking, overspending, overfunctioning, over-everything. 
  In Present Over Perfect, Shauna Niequist invites us to consider the landscape of our life, and what it might look like to leave behind the pressure to be perfect and begin the life-changing practice of simply being present. In this six-week study, you will answer some vital questions: Have you become someone you wouldn’t want to be around?Are you longing for connection but settling for busy?What sacrifices are you making in order to play the role you find yourself playing?What “no” do you have to say when you say yes? Is this a wise thing to say no to?What has your need for speed cost you along the way?What attitudes, expectations, neuroses, habits, and obligations would you have to upend in order to care more purposefully for your soul?  
  Present Over Perfect is a hand reaching out, pulling you free from the constant pressure to perform faster, push harder, and produce more, all while maintaining an exhausting image of perfection. Discover an entirely new way to live…soaked in grace, rest, silence, simplicity, prayer, and connection with the people that matter most.  
  Sessions include:  Pain Points (23:00) The Roles We Play (20:00) Yes, and No (21:00) Unflashy, Unspectacular, Good (22:00) Living the Love (21:00)

  The Word of My Patience

  Anything that God says requires patience is a “Word of my patience”. Most of the promises of God are examples of the “Word of my patience”. God promises many things in the Bible, but most of these promises need patience to see them fulfilled. 
  The “Word of my patience” is a Word that requires you to endure much provocation, annoyance or pain without complaint. The “Word of my patience” is a Word that requires you to endure tests and temptations and misfortune without losing your temper or becoming irritated. The “Word of my patience” requires a steady, quiet perseverance and diligence if you are to ever see the manifestation of the promise of God. 
  Once again, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, painstakingly outlines in this exposé, the experiences of great men in the Bible who had to endure the “Word of my patience” in order to receive God’s promises. 
  Dear friend, in fulfilling the will of God and surging forward to experience the “Word of my patience” you must accept that you will go through many things which you must accept with calmness, forbearance and fortitude in order to see His promises come to pass in your life.

  Embark on a journey where timeless wisdom intersects with modern innovation and discover how the principles of Daoism illuminate the profound connections between energy, harmony, and the emerging force of Bitcoin. 
  In Daoist philosophy, the Dao is the universal force governing both tangible and intangible aspects of existence. It's believed that all phenomena are manifestations of the Dao, interconnected by the vital energy known as Qi, which animates all life and saturates the natural world. 
  Money also exerts both tangible and intangible force. It connects us all. We use money to store the energy of our efforts. We transform our time into energy, and we use money to store the value of our time. Money is an exchange of energy. 
  Our modern money has no connection to energy. It requires no effort or time to produce. Modern money cannot store energy and the world around us has evolved to reflect this disconnect. 
  Bitcoin is energy money. It presents the opportunity to unify humanity by fundamentally transforming our interactions through linking transactions to energy. 
  The Dao of Bitcoin questions our current monetary system and imagines a world that runs on energy money — a world where the money promotes harmonious living connected by energy. Explore how the Dao and Bitcoin envision a world where money aligns with the natural flow of energy, promoting harmony and sense-making in society.
