We long for mountaintop experiences, but they're difficult to achieve and impossible to maintain without the rest, nourishment, and strength found in lush, life-giving valleys. GRAMMY Award winner Jonathan McReynolds shows us why having a valley mindset is not what you thinkit's about receiving God's grace, love, and encouragement as His beloved child. Life is full of mountains to ascend, driven by our dreams, ambitions, and callings. But it doesn't take much for even the strongest climbers to grow weary or lose their way. It's important to have a ';mountain mindset' to help us establish goals, to make steady progress, to achieve success, to do big things for God. A great mission requires from us a little grind, a little hustle, a little competition. But also plenty of time in the valley.Most people equate valley moments with difficulty and pain, but a ';valley mentality' is different according to Jonathan McReynolds. He's reached the mountaintopGRAMMY Award, nationwide tours, millions of followers, and morebut he experienced more refreshment, rest, and encouragement from the Lord off the mountain. He writes, ';The valley is not about finishing anything, studying anything, or doing anything, but simply being a child of God.'
