busy

"Balancing anything, especially for an extended period of time, is difficult. It’s impossible."

Just as a busy person or family struggles to invest in important relationships, a busy church keeps God’s people from important relationships with the broader community.

With so much going on, in and around us, it’s a wonder we find time to even be with our families, let alone make time to make disciples! How does discipleship work when everyone is so busy?

The one thing we want the most—strong relationships—demands us to give what we do not have—time. And not just the multi-tasking type of time...

A few weeks ago, as I was talking with one of my mentors, my answer to a question she asked me left me in...

Idleness by definition is laziness or a lack of action. But what if our busyness is actually idleness? What if our time is sprinkled with lazy, brainless, idle activities?

I said yes to every. single. opportunity. It sounded smart in 2017.

It's easy to get caught up being busy all the time. But to fall into the trap of perpetual busyness is to confuse the God of the Bible with the god of this world. They are not the same.
