October 2022
Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter. I appreciate that you want to know how the ministry is progressing and I value your prayers.
Fundraising
Leavened Lives is in good shape financially for this year. But, as I look ahead to next year, I realize that I will need to raise more support. Leavened Lives currently has $850 in recurring monthly donations. My goal is to raise that to $4,000.
For the rest of 2022, I am not charging for coaching as I am gaining valuable insight and experience with my first clients. So if you are considering working with me, you should do it now while it is free!
If this ministry is something you would like to support, you can contribute through the website here.
Testimonial from Keith D.
"Integrating my faith and work feels satisfyingly wholesome. As I am becoming more intentional about it, it seems to build upon itself, encouraging me to continue the work of bringing God into my vocation."
"My sessions have shifted my outlook on prayer and why it matters. Prior to Bo's pastoral coaching, my prayer life was stifled. I struggled to engage God in what seemed like a one-sided conversation. While I never doubted that God was real, he seemed distant, and his muddled responses left me wondering if prayer was worth the effort."

Blog Excerpts
"A lot of our lives are pretty ordinary and lack the obvious instances of God acting in provision, healing and deliverance. If we have no real awareness of God at work in those ordinary parts of our lives, then we have effectively marginalized God to those life experiences which are actually rare."
"The goal is to draw near to God at your work, which is pleasing to him. To do that, you need to have a faith that believes God is there at your work and that if you intentionally seek him, you will find him."
"To lose heart in an area of unanswered prayer is to lose God in that area of our lives. Persevering in prayer guards against this and allows us to connect with God."
I will be sending out a second newsletter before the end of the year. I would love to connect with you about a blog post or to talk about your work.
