What if the pressure to hold everything together is one of the very things keeping you overwhelmed? In this Best Of episode, I’m revisiting a conversation about the exhausting pressure to get everything right, keep everyone happy, and make sure life turns out the way we think it should. We’ll talk about the hidden beliefs behind our need for control, why our value isn’t determined by how well we perform, and how to find peace even when you don’t know what the outcome will be.
Most importantly, we’ll look at the freeing truth of Colossians 1:17: Jesus is the One who holds all things together. You were never meant to carry the weight of holding your family, your future, your relationships, or your entire life together on your own.
