We’re continuing our How to Build a Life That Doesn’t Exhaust You series—and this week is all about how agency works when God calls you to live inside your scope.
In Haggai 2, God’s people struggled to stay motivated when the temple they were rebuilding looked smaller and less impressive than Solomon’s. The same thing happens to us: we pray for sustainability, God answers, but the quieter, simpler life He gives feels “too small” to be right. That’s when grandiosity sneaks in—pushing us to overreach, overcommit, and undo the very peace we asked for.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
📖 Scriptures: Haggai 2, 2 Peter 1:3, John 15:4–5
If you’ve been tempted to “make it bigger” just to feel like you’re making progress, this conversation will help you protect your capacity, honor your agency, and build a life you can actually sustain.
