Don't Spend Lockdown in a Fog!

The KCC team are currently working from home under various NSW lockdown rules, and after 6 weeks we're feeling the strain!  In the midst of working from home, restricted movements and all the other responsibilities juggled, we're desperately feeling the need for refreshed eyes, hearts and souls.  We imagine it'd be much the same for many right now.

So here are three ways to reset, refresh and refocus this season:

1. Take the day to be refreshed at BASECAMP and OneLove

Take the day to be fed from God's Word, be refreshed, and be "in the room" with a greater fellowship of believers.  There's nothing like coming together to hear the Bible preached powerfully, be blessed by the personal testimonies of fellow Christians, and to share in it with fellow Christians.

For the men at BASECAMP, Tim Lane and Arnaldo Santiago Jr will be tackling how to unravel the things that bind our hearts, so that we can stride back out into the world, free to love God and others fully.

Jackie Hill Perry and Jo Gibbs will challenge and encourage the women at OneLove that our holy God has created us for more than this world has us believe.

You won't regret the time spent being refreshed at these events. Register now - it includes on-demand access to the event for a month, and extra resources to help make the most of the day.

2. Refocus with a soul-nourishing book

Pick up a book you've meant to read, and commit to finishing it!  If you need some ideas for new reads, KCC have partnered with The Wandering Bookseller to come up with a list of recommended reads for BASECAMP and OneLove.  Here's a selection:

Reset
David Murray

"How did I get here?" These are the words of many Christian men on the brink of burnout or in the midst of breakdown. They are exhausted, depressed, anxious, stressed and joyless.

But there is good news: God has graciously provided a way for men to reset their lives to a more sustainable pace. In his book, David Murray offers weary men hope for the future, helping them identify the warning signs, offering practical strategies for living a grace-paced life, and reaching the finish line with their joy intact.

Made for More
Emily Cobb

Discover how you were made for lasting purpose, hope and fulfilment; why true meaning and life is found in knowing the God who made you; and that this God is far, far, better than who you think He is.

This book by Emily Cobb helps you think afresh about the big questions of life - and about the life you were made for.

(Why not share the love and send around a book to friends to read together? The Wandering Bookseller have a great range of books in bulk in their $100 book pack collection!)

3, Reset your day with a prayer walk

Get up a little earlier to go on a walk in the fresh air, and spend it in prayer for the day ahead and for the world around us.  More of a sit-and-pray-er?  Tune into some music to help you worship, or a sermon to listen to as you walk.  Spotify and Apple Podcasts have a great selection to browse through, and of course, the KCC One app is always there with video and audio content too!

We'd love to hear what you do to de-fog in the current situation!
