Four Questions to Stay Aligned When Life Feels Overwhelming


Listen Later

What if clarity isn’t about doing more—but about asking better questions? In seasons of growth, opportunity, and overwhelm, we’ve learned that alignment with God often begins by slowing down long enough to listen.

In this episode, we walk through a simple but deeply grounding alignment framework that emerged from a season of overwhelm, health challenges, and hard decisions. Together, we explore how to discern God’s will in the everyday choices entrepreneurs face—without striving, people-pleasing, or burning ourselves out. This conversation is honest, practical, and rooted in faith, offering a way to choose obedience over pressure and peace over performance.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

Why overwhelm often comes from good things competing with God’s best
Four alignment questions to prayerfully guide decisions
How giftedness, health, and peace are spiritual matters
The difference between growth that drains you and growth that multiplies
Why creativity and family are not distractions from calling—but part of it
How Scripture anchors discernment without becoming rigid or religious

This conversation was born out of a real moment—when the pace of life forced a slowdown that couldn’t be ignored. We talk candidly about health limits, saying no to opportunities, and the emotional cost of sidelining creativity. It’s a reminder that God often uses interruption to realign us with what matters most.

When facing a decision, pause and prayerfully ask:

Does this keep me in alignment with God’s plan and how He’s gifted me?
Does this protect or enhance my health and peace?
Does this multiply without requiring more of me?
Does this free me to love my family well and express my creativity?

If the answer brings clarity, peace, and obedience—even if it costs you something—it’s likely pointing you in the right direction.
