Do you feel like there is more you should be able to handle at home, but stress keeps shutting you down?
In this episode, I share part of a Convivial Circle seminar on expanded capacity, Christian contentment, stress, sanctification, and why growth often comes through the exact circumstances we would never choose for ourselves.
Expanded capacity does not come from controlling your circumstances or becoming more productive. It grows through repentance, gratitude, endurance, and learning to receive the work God is doing in your actual life instead of resisting it.
You’ll learn:
why stress closes you off from growth
how perfectionism and control create overwhelm
the difference between selfish ambition and sanctification
why God expands capacity through endurance and humility
how to recognize “adult fussiness”
why organizing your attitude matters more than organizing your house
