God isn’t against my ambition; He’s shaping it, redirecting it, and teaching me how to pursue purpose without losing myself.If you’ve been pushing, striving, grinding, and ignoring the signs your body and spirit are giving you, this one’s for you.We’re also diving into a powerful Bible study on Matthew 6 and John 15—two passages that speak directly to worry, provision, abiding, pruning, and what it really means to stay connected to God instead of running on empty.In this episode:My ER story and what led up to it:-How God uses disruption to get our attention-Why God isn’t against your ambition—He just wants to guide it-What Jesus teaches about rest, dependence, and trust-Bible study breakdown of Matthew 6 & John 15-Encouragement for anyone dealing with chronic illness, burnout, or spiritual exhaustionIf this encourages you, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs a reminder to breathe, rest, and let God lead.🙌 **Subscribe for more Bible studies and practical teachings on faith and Christian living.**[https://www.youtube.com/@DelaCriss](https://www.youtube.com/@DelaCriss)#Ephesians1 #BibleStudy #SpiritualBlessings #Predestination #InChrist #ChristianTeaching #FreedomChurchDFWDid you know I wrote a book?
