  2. How 7-minute daily practices develop habits that lead to lasting transformation
  3. The P.E.R.C.E.I.V.E. Method for connecting with God and discerning His will
  4. Why spiritual practices must be the foundation for growth in every other area

  2. Examine - Identify where you're striving vs. trusting (1 min)
  3. Read - Engage with Scripture slowly (2 min)
  4. Connect - Ask God what He's doing (1 min)

Kim Gordon

Through my experience as a nurse, educator, sales director, business mentor and certified leadership coach, I've developed a deep desire to love people enough to help them reach their God-given potential. My superpower is in helping you identify how to get "unstuck" by clarifying what's NEXT and what's POSSIBLE, and by being your friend as you take action to get there. I love being a Jesus lover, wife, momma, spirtual momma, and dog mom. Fueled by coffee, grits, and chocolate.
