What’s on your plate? Is your plate full? While serving is important, serving in what God has created us for is the place we need to be. We can “do” A LOT of “good things,” but we’re not called to do ALL things. We each have gifts, areas that we’re called to serve in. In this episode I share a little about different seasons I've walked through in ministry and how God clearly told me, "Heather, if your plate is too full doing "good things," you will tell Me no when I call you to serve." Thank you for listening.

Don't Take the Bait (Episode 9)

Do you sometimes struggle with your focus? Struggle with living (and loving) like Jesus in a world that doesn’t always look or feel a whole lot like Him? Are you allowing the culture around you to guide your life instead of being guided by His truth and the ultimate command…to love like Him? 

This can be a struggle for all of us, but at the end of the day, walking in love should be our highest goal. No matter how hard this feels…it is the goal. Loving others means compromise. It means having those hard conversations. Loving others can even mean not always sharing your opinion. (It’s okay to sit a discussion out. We don’t have to reply to everything we see, read, or hear.) Sometimes it can mean just being still. 

Loving others also means walking life with them. In order to walk life with someone else, we have to compromise on some things. We must be willing to have those hard conversations  … with the intent to remain friends!

We’re not called to walk life alone. Join me every other week as I dive into different topics about situations we all face and let’s navigate this life together. If you are struggling with things you see around you, not sure how to respond to situations in life, or maybe you’re sure you’ve inserted your foot into your mouth (as I have many times in my life) and you want to learn how not to do that, then this show is for you. Join me and let’s walk life together.
