Summary
When it comes to parenting, working, praying, exercising—come to think of it, in most things—I find myself constantly running on empty. And I have a feeling I’m not alone.
We’re living in a time when it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and impatient. Thankfully, we have a Savior who wants us to live with freedom and peace. And he wants it so badly that he selflessly died so we might have abundant life. Don’t miss that truth—it’s life changing when you truly live in the freedom of it.
Pastor, author, and podcaster, Levi Lusko, joins us on Pardon the Mess to discuss our need to confront the pain, loss, and darkness in our lives. Only in acknowledging these hard places, can we find the complete peace and healing the Lord offers. More than that, God is faithful to use these hard places to do great things with our imperfect progress. There’s some hope we can all use today.
I always love having Levi on the podcast because he’s completely transparent and authentic. Today, he shares how his need for productivity became an idol. He also discusses how he battles with feelings of inadequacy as a father.
If for no other reason, don’t miss today’s podcast to hear me share one of my most embarrassing podcast moments. Sadly, it happened in an interview with Levi earlier this year.
Bless my heart.
Thanks for listening. I can’t wait to hear how you’re encouraged to “take back your life.”

| 0:23.4 | for me to hear that you live in Hawaii and I'm in Dallas and, you know, in a horrible time of |
| 0:28.7 | year to be in Dallas. But second of all, I don't know where I saw it was on your Instagram or |
| 0:32.3 | somewhere, but I saw pictures of the view outside your door. I have no words. Oh, thank you. It's not a bad place to be |
