Rhythms for Life How to Remain Rooted: Christine Caine
Welcome back to this brand new season of the Rhythms For Life podcast! Freshly thawed from the ice storm that hit Nashville a couple weeks ago, Gabe and Rebekah welcome their longtime friend, global speaker, and prolific author, Christine Caine. As she approaches her 60th birthday, Christine shares her inspiring 60 at 60 challenge: committing to 60 new experiences to keep her brain and spirit thriving.
This conversation dives deep into the heart of Christine’s new book, The Faith to Flourish, which explores the profound spiritual symbolism of the olive tree. Together, they discuss how to move from a season of "languishing" to one of flourishing, drawing wisdom from the life of David and the resilience of the sacred olive trees in Athens.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- The 60 at 60 Challenge: Christine’s recent adventures in Alaska, including sleeping in an igloo and dog sledding, and why novelty is essential for a thriving brain
- The Sacred Olive Tree: The moment in Athens that shifted Christine’s perspective on faith and endurance.
- Flourishing in the Cave: How David’s words in Psalm 52:8 provide a roadmap for staying positive and fruitful even when life feels like a crisis.
- Overcoming Languish: Addressing the post-COVID mojo loss and how to reconnect with a rhythm of life that leads to spiritual health
- Patient Endurance: Why the slow growth of an olive tree is a beautiful picture of the long-term faithfulness God requires of us.
