In Episode 278, we talked about clearing our plates—letting God remove what we were never meant to carry. But once things come off, a new question rises:
What do I say yes to now?
In this episode, Learning to Serve From Overflow, we talk about how to choose the right yeses without filling our calendars right back up or draining our hearts in the process.
We explore:
-
Why “time management” is a myth and what actually needs managing
-
The difference between managing your yeses and protecting your noes
-
How rest and withdrawal are part of faithful service, not a failure of it
-
What it looks like to be busy with God-given purpose instead of pressure
-
How planning with God at the center shapes everyday decisions
-
The power of an “approval pause” for mamas who tend to people-please
This conversation is for the mama who wants to serve well without running dry—who’s learning that obedience doesn’t require exhaustion and that overflow comes from alignment, not availability.
If God has been asking you to sit first, this episode is an invitation to listen.
