When we take the time to reflect on the past season, we will often identify patterns of behavior we have or have picked up along the way. These patterns can be helpful or harmful depending on where they came from and how they are impacting our lives. As this year is coming to a close, it's time to look back at all the achievements, hurdles, and lessons learned in our personal, business, and spiritual lives and see how we can grow and learn from them. In this episode, your host, Rachel, celebrates a full year of spreading the love of Christ through Taking the Leap Podcast. It has not been a walk in the park, but by the grace of God, she has made it through. Over the last year, Rachel has climbed mountains, walked in valleys, and experienced some refining moments that taught her valuable life lessons, which she shares with us. Listen to the ten leaping lessons she learned, and be inspired to take your leap. She also reveals plans for next year and how you can be part of the success in spreading the gospel of Christ.If you have truly enjoyed Rachel and the Taking the Leap podcast episodes, and would love to encourage others to take a leap while spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ then this episode is for you. Now let’s jump in!Key Highlights from the Episode[00:01] Episode intro and what’s in for you in today’s episode[01:39] How this podcast came alive[02:48] All things work together- Romans 8:28[04:29] Obedience -the key that unlocks every door[05:40] Hard decisions don’t have to mean drama[07:23] God’s assignment in a year will be woven into every part of your life[08:57] Leaps will require difficult but necessary endings[10:30] Sometimes, the only way to see a ram is by obeying to sacrifice your Isaac [12:57] A quick announcement [14:01] You can’t plan everything.
