It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed when we look at size of the dream God’s put inside of us. We question how we are ever able to accomplish that dream. Ultimately, it’s God who works out HIS dream through us, but He asks us to partner with Him in it. So, how do we do that without feeling completely stuck and overwhelmed?
On this episode, my friend Christa Hutchins and I talk about how to eliminate the overwhelm when we’re faced with the enormity of our calling.
Christa shares some really practical tips in how to get out from underneath it all and how to take steps forward.
In this episode, we talk about:
- What overwhelm is.
- The two different kinds of overwhelm in a calling.
- Practical steps in how to eliminate the overwhelm.
- How to move forward and gain some momentum.
