Q on Queue 106: Obedience in the Ordinary

from Q on queue Hosted by Brian Querry

Send us a message We've talked in the last two episodes about Burnout and Holy Discontent. Burnout - when we are just plain worn out and tired, but our job isn't over. Holy Discontent - when there's something stirring in us for something better and new. Sometimes peace lifts because God is deepening something in us. But here’s the tension: once you recognize holy discontent, the temptation is to assume movement must follow immediately. But, sometimes the next step after holy discontent… is obedience in the ordinary. Why? Because discernment doesn’t always lead to dramatic transition. Sometimes it leads right back to your desk, your classroom, your kitchen, or your inbox. There is a particular kind of obedience that feels unimpressive. It’s doing the thing in front of you without resentment building a quiet case against your life. This is where we quietly decide who we’re becoming. And in that moment - in that place - we find our ability to be obedient in the ordinary.
