Is Planning Selfish? Finding the Balance Between Faith and Structure


Listen Later

šŸ”¹ Is planning your life a spiritual act or a selfish one? If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like prioritizing yourself takes away from serving others, this episode is for you. Many of us have been taught that true faith means letting go of control and trusting God fully—but does that mean we shouldn’t plan?

šŸ’” I’ve wrestled with this myself—feeling like if I get too structured, I might step out of God’s flow. I grew up believing that serving others meant sacrificing personal order, but what if planning is actually part of God’s will for us? In this episode, we explore Romans 14:15 and what it truly means to balance faith, planning, and self-stewardship.

āœ… Key Topics:

  • Does planning remove the need for faith?
  • God’s order vs. personal control – where’s the balance?
  • How Jesus served others yet still set boundaries
  • Romans 14:15 – Prioritizing yourself while honoring God’s will
  • Practical ways to embrace planning while trusting God
