As summer winds down and Labor Day passes, Pastor James Henry explores the idea of the "reset" — those natural turning points in the calendar (a new school year, a new Christian year, a new calendar year) that invite us to look honestly at our lives and consider what needs to change.
James shares a personal story about building a Centering Prayer habit ten years ago, and how missing a day doesn't mean starting over — it means asking what you learned and trying again, without turning the slip into another reason for self-criticism. He connects this to Jesus's invitation to the disciples to "come and follow me" — not a one-time decision, but a daily choice that itself is an ongoing reset.
In this episode:
- Why Labor Day (and other calendar markers) function as natural reset points
- How to build a new habit without weaponizing failure against yourself
- A personal story about starting a Centering Prayer practice
- Why following Jesus is a daily reset, not a one-time decision
