In his book, <em>Small-Batch Disciplemaking: A Rhythm for Training the Few to Reach the Many<\/em>, David Sunde offers seven disciplemaking rhythms (or as David explains, one rhythm that is expressed in seven ways). This series includes three of the seven rhythms. In the first post, David helped you identify where God has been at work in your life. You can read it here. In this next post, David gives us a divine picture of rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When our daughter, Annika, was born twenty-two months after our son, I thought I should write a journal for her. Journaling is not my thing, but having a daughter was new territory. I wanted to be thoughtful in nurturing our daddy-daughter relationship. At the same time, as a pastor and father, I was restless about raising pastors\u2019 kids, who often unfairly spend too many hours at church and draw the attention of every parishioner. I wanted to instill in them a living faith, a&nbsp;love for Jesus, not simply a Sunday-go-to-church faith. I had a distinct impression, which I took as a prompt from the Lord, that said, <em>You\u2019ve gotten it half right.<\/em> It was one of those unique, rare moments where I felt the Spirit saying, <em>Yes, be Christ to her<\/em>. <em>But I also want to teach you about Me through her, so take note! <\/em>And so, for thirteen years, I kept a handwritten journal of how God\u2019s Spirit was teaching me to grow in faith through my interactions with my daughter. While it wasn\u2019t a natural discipline for me, it became a great practice for allowing God to continually resensitize my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an entry from one of those \u201cdivine interruptions,\u201d recorded when Annika was fifteen months old:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Last night, you were up a couple of different times, which isn\u2019t unusual as you\u2019re still breastfeeding. While I could hear you crying\u2014and with me wanting to sleep\u2014I asked the Lord to help me see and experience Him. And at that moment, it was like I heard an immediate response! It was as if God was speaking through your tears\u2014and an untimely interruption into my rest\u2014THAT\u2019S ME!! Those are My cries to want to be with you at all times! It was like God was saying, \u201cDon\u2019t just roll over and think you can find Me later\u201d.<\/p><p>Instead, I got up to find you standing in your crib. Normally, you have a one-track mind, wanting Mommy and to be fed. But this was different. I held you, and we talked, me with words and gestures. I said, \u201cI\u2019m here. Daddy loves you.\u201d You put your head on my shoulder, and we held each other .&nbsp;.&nbsp;. until we were both comforted. It was 2:00&nbsp;a.m., but God\u2019s presence (and lesson) was noticed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a>The rhythm of renewal is about regularly and continually resensitizing our hearts so we can hear God\u2019s whisper, respond when the Spirit guides, and yield when God prompts. <\/a>As mature disciplemakers, a rhythm of renewal enables us to be attentive to the Holy Spirit so that being attentive to what God is saying will help us speak prophetically to young believers. If our goal is to be effective small-batch disciplemakers, practicing the rhythm of renewal will help us get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>So first, <a>what does our rest produce?<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scripture doesn\u2019t invite us to sleep, vacation, unload responsibilities, or pursue a more convenient way of living. Renewal isn\u2019t meant to restore our margins so we can live the life we want to live. Nor does it mean the struggle or tension in life goes away; rather, biblical renewal recenters and resensitizes our hearts to God\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a>Maybe most people don\u2019t experience more growth because it\u2019s sadly normal to allow our hearts to grow calloused. We often insulate ourselves from getting too upset or feeling too vulnerable. So how can we remain responsive and grow closer to God when we guard our hearts? By practicing the rhythm of renewal, which recenters us on the one who gives life. <\/a>Renewal invites us to combat a culture that feeds our ambition, consumption, and insecurities. Growth of any kind takes time because it involves both unlearning old habits and discovering a new way to live. The renewal process allows us to change from the inside out, by renewing our minds and resensitizing our hearts (Romans&nbsp;12:2). It can be saddening, challenging, and even painful, but that doesn\u2019t mean goodness, beauty, and new life don\u2019t emerge! The goal is that we might be made new, more like the image of God, and participate in His redemption and restoration. Again, to do that, we need our hearts to be resensitized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Second, how can we steward our influence while keeping in mind the Spirit\u2019s role?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With an apprentice, it\u2019s important to speak to their potential about who they can become in Christ. This is one of the most critical and life-giving (yet rarely taught) aspects of the Christian\u2019s life. Without trying to be a prophet, every believer can (and should) learn to speak prophetically to younger and teachable believers. As God gives you insight and your relationship with an apprentice deepens, you will be better able to speak to their spiritual and ministry potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, small decisions make a big difference over time, just as shifting a mere two degrees will create a radically different trajectory for an entire journey. I never like to say, \u201cGod told me .\u00a0.\u00a0.\u201d when speaking into someone\u2019s life. But when I have an impression\u2014 that may or may not be from God\u2014I\u00a0like to simply offer it by saying, \u201cI had this idea .\u00a0.\u00a0. see if this resonates.\u201d If I\u2019ve heard from God, I don\u2019t need to be persuasive to get the message across. What\u2019s also happening in this rhythm of renewal is that we are developing a model for sensitivity. We can be busy and still be attentive to God\u2019s Holy Spirit. It takes practice, but over time we can become more, if not very, familiar with how God is speaking and guiding us. And the best way to learn this spiritual discernment isn\u2019t in a classroom or from a sermon but in the safety of a developmental relationship with someone further along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Free-Download_The-Disciplemaker-1024x154.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Free-Download_The-Disciplemaker-1024x154.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Free-Download_The-Disciplemaker-300x45.png 300w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Free-Download_The-Disciplemaker-768x115.png 768w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Free-Download_The-Disciplemaker-1536x230.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/Free-Download_The-Disciplemaker.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-4 wp-block-columns\" style=\"padding-top:2.5rem;padding-right:2.5rem;padding-bottom:2.5rem;padding-left:2.5rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/AuthorFrame_Disciplemaker-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/AuthorFrame_Disciplemaker-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/AuthorFrame_Disciplemaker-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/AuthorFrame_Disciplemaker-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/AuthorFrame_Disciplemaker-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/02\/AuthorFrame_Disciplemaker.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-3 wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2>David Sunde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David Sunde<\/strong>&nbsp;has been involved in professional non-profit and spiritual leadership for over 20 years.
