And he shares that along the way, his wife, mentors and spiritual directors helped him regain his sense of God\u2019s love and call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are struggling with your identity or may have lost sight of God\u2019s love, consider exploring Cru\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/us\/en\/spiritual-growth-guidance-center.html\">spiritual growth and guidance center<\/a>. There you can connect with an advocate in a safe and private way to share tough issues or ask tough questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scripture to Study<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo not bring a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your ancestors.\u201d (Jeremiah 17:22).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.\u201d (Matthew 11:28\u201330)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wise Words to Consider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpiritual lessons in adulthood are only learned through suffering and failure. The places of deepest formation for me have not come when things are going well and the church is flourishing and when there is all the publicity of what might happen as a church movement, as it grows.\u201d \u2014Drew Hyun<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Prayer to Lead You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Loving Father, you restore the desolate, heal the wounded, and pursue the outsider. Help me to know your love. Teach me healthy patterns of work and rest, community and solitude, confidence and humility. Keep me from unnecessary suffering and failure. But if I must fail or suffer, give me the grace to endure, the wisdom to remember your love, and the faith to trust you through it. Be merciful to me through Jesus Christ who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Practice to Begin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew explains the importance of rest and sabbath keeping. For him, it\u2019s the practice of trusting God to accomplish great work even while you and I take the time to rest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can begin to practice sabbath by taking a day a week for rest and worship. For many it can be as simple as taking a nap on a Sunday afternoon after going to church. For others it can mean enjoying a quiet walk, reflecting on God\u2019s love. What does it look like to take time to rest and worship in your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions to Answer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew shares that it takes a life of prayer, reflection and repentance to pursue God\u2019s call. As you think about God\u2019s call and where he has placed you, what is your prayer? What do you desire for God to accomplish through you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources to Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/createdfor\/2022\/drew-hyun\/\">To Be Seen and Noticed: The Longing We All Have to Truly Be Loved Just As We Are with Drew Hyun<\/a><br>Cru\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/us\/en\/spiritual-growth-guidance-center.html\">spiritual growth and guidance center<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode Reflection Invitation to Explore In this episode Drew Hyun shares his story about sacrificing the idols of money and prestige at the altar in exchange for God\u2019s presence.
