34. How To Stop Striving & Live Purposefully with guest Becky Kiser

 In this episode, I talk with christian author and podcaster, Becky Kiser. We discuss her NEW BOOK, 'But God Can: How to Stop Striving and Live Purposefully and Abundantly.' Becky emphasizes the importance of recognizing our limitations and relying on God's power instead of striving in our own strength. She gives us the signs of slipping into striving, such as consistent tiredness and avoiding people, and offers practical advice for living purposefully and abundantly.   Takeaways: Recognize the lie of not being enough and choose to rely on God's power instead of striving in your own strength. Signs of slipping into striving include consistent tiredness, avoiding people, and a pattern of failing or pride. Embrace realistic expectations and be willing to adjust and be flexible in different seasons of life. Bring your hard feelings to God in lament and find freedom through faith and reality coexisting. Live purposefully and abundantly by cultivating intimacy with Jesus and trusting in His plans. Our relationship with God is similar to any other relationship and requires effort and intentionality.
