THE AUDACIOUS ADVENTURE with Danica & Autumn
We're two sisters adventuring with the Holy Spirit – and the more laughs along the way, the better! Whether you realize it or not, once you have the AUDACITY to say YES to Jesus, you're embarking on THE AUDACIOUS ADVENTURE -- a lifelong journey with the Holy Spirit as your guide. It's the threefold adventure of knowing God intimately through His Word and your experiences with Him, knowing your true self through the work of the Holy Spirit, and then making Jesus and His love known to the world. ABOUT US: DANICA CHILDS is a Spiritual Director with a MA in Spiritual Formation/Soul Care from Talbot Seminary and a MA in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. Her sister AUTUMN is a storyteller passionate about the spiritual gifts and creating with the Holy Spirit. We’re sisters who've spent a combined forty years in various forms of ministry, including co-planting a church in Hollywood with other families, where we served in a variety of leadership roles for around a decade. Later we began THE AUDACIOUS ADVENTURE as a Los Angeles based ministry in 2016. We daily pursue creative, artistic, messy, and joyful lives of adventure in Southern California with our family and friends!

THE AUDACIOUS ADVENTURE with Danica & Autumn
VISIO DIVINA: God Speaks to YOU Through ART! A Spiritual Quick Tip with Danica!
Has your attention ever been captured by an image, but you weren’t quite sure WHY on first viewing? Has a picture made you pause and ponder? Have you experienced a surge of emotion while watching a movie or a show? If you answered yes, then you’ve experienced VISIO DIVINA: SACRED SEEING. When you desire to gaze at an image, or when an emotion wells up in you as you encounter art, cinema, architecture, or even nature, you are experiencing God’s attempt to get your attention. God wants to “speak” to you through the visual image before you. The act of prayerful gazing, or visio divina, is one way we can respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit working in us to pay attention to our inner lives. The image becomes a means for us to encounter God and to learn about ourselves. Jump into Danica’s latest Spiritual Quick Tip to learn more about what this creative prayer practice can look like in YOUR life!
