We’re continuing our How to Build a Life That Doesn’t Exhaust You series—and this week is all about how agency works when God calls you to live inside your scope.In Haggai 2, God’s people struggled to stay motivated when the temple they were rebuilding looked smaller and less impressive than Solomon’s. The same thing happens to us: we pray for sustainability, God answers, but the quieter, simpler life He gives feels “too small” to be right. That’s when grandiosity sneaks in—pushing us to overreach, overcommit, and undo the very peace we asked for.In this episode, you’ll learn:How to recognize when your expectations are outside your God-given scopeWhy smaller can actually be more sustainable and Spirit-filledHow perfectionism, performance anxiety, and self-idealization sabotage agencyHow to measure success in presence, purpose, and peace instead of perfectionPractical ways to stay in alignment with God’s grace so you can keep living the life you’re building📖 Scriptures: Haggai 2, 2 Peter 1:3, John 15:4–5If you’ve been tempted to “make it bigger” just to feel like you’re making progress, this conversation will help you protect your capacity, honor your agency, and build a life you can actually sustain.ResourcesTake the FREE Spiritual Wellness Check-InJoin the The Society: Our Discipleship CommunitySubscribe to the YouTube ChannelGet The NLT Study BibleSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/prescription-for-purpose/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
