How Unnecessary "Yeses" and Busyness Rob Our Joy

Published: Oct. 19, 2023, 1:48 p.m.

b'We\'ve been on a journey of simplifying our lives. While it hasn\'t been the easiest path, we\'re discovering unexpected beauty along the way.

This week, we share what we\'re learning during this time of scaling back and embracing a quieter season, how it\'s bringing more clarity to our family\'s purpose, and how it\'s also unearthed a newfound joy for our family. When we as parents find our God-given lane, and stay faithful to pursuing it without getting distracted with unnecessary "yeses" and busyness, we give our kids a gift.

In this episode, we talk about stripping down the self-imposed pressures, tasks, and busyness we\'ve accumulated along the way, so that we can experience a more fulfilling, purposeful lifestyle that God intended for us.

Here are some takeaways:

  • How our busyness, fear of missing out, and people-pleasing tendencies impact our kids
  • Practical ways to make decisions based on your body\'s signals and needs
  • How daily scripture reading changes how you view the world
  • The tension, differences, and rewards between making your name known on earth vs. making it known in God\'s Kingdom
  • How to discover your God-given lane and own it, so that your calling and desires align
