Resending: Turn up the 🔥 on your hidden life with Christ (+ FREE Chapter inside!)

Your Hidden Life + FREE Chapter Download

Reader,

Colossians 3:3 is one of my favorite verses. In speaking of our union with Christ, Paul says, "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

Do you ever think of your life that way?

Your life doesn't consist primarily of all that's outward and visible for the world to see, but what's concealed, secret, and hidden with Christ in God in heaven.

Your hidden life in Christ is also developed and strengthened, in secret.

It's in the hidden places of our lives, where we meet with God, that our joy and pursuit of holy leisure begins.

I invite you to consider one of the most astounding, true stories of not living in light of our riches, and how, as Christians, we might be guilty of the same.

The Hidden Places is also Part One of my forthcoming book The Pursuit of Holy Leisure: Enjoying God in Everyday Places (releasing 3.17.26).

Also, don't miss the opportunity to download a FREE CHAPTER of my book at the end of this article. I'm so excited to share this sneak peek and would love to hear how it encourages you.

Hidden in Him,

Cara
