Did I do Enough? with Dr. Kelly Kapic

Order Gently Tended and join the Bible study now!I had the opportunity to hear Dr. Kelly Kapic speak at a conference I was attending a couple of weeks ago. He is a professor of theological studies at Covenant College, where we were staying, and the session was titled "Have I Done Enough?" Led me down a thought bunny trail, because isn't that the question we are all asking ourselves during back-to-school season? Did we read enough hours? Did we soak in enough moments? Did I play with them enough? Have I purchased enough school supplies? I've found the weight of carrying all that is crushing and leads to self-loathing and depression rather than worship. What happens as parents when we try to be and do too much? Is being limited a sin? How do we respond internally when someone reminds us again to "savor all the moments" What about the things Christ commanded us to do? What do we do when we realize we can't be fully invested in caring for orphans, feeding all the widows, stewarding the discipleship of our kids, and going into all the world to preach and disciple? How do we wrestle with the feelings of incompetence that come when we see another parent doing something we wish we could do or wish we were good at?
