Summary

How do you know if you’re struggling well or just plain struggling?

Just Em is back again with part three of a four-part series on what it means to Struggle WELL. This week we deep dive on the second L of WELL. L is for LEAN IN.

TOPICS:
  • what happens when you stop cursing your situation and get curious about it instead

  • two things to ask yourself - What if I did something different here? What is God trying to teach me in this situation?

  • focusing on fixing ourselves rather than trying to change others

  • seeing the fork in the road as an opportunity

  • modeling the person we want our children to be

  • the struggle to stop “kicking the goads”
