Summary
You might be one who can work all day and feel great.
And maybe you struggle to take a vacation.
Maybe if you're really honest with yourself, you think productivity is next to godliness.
If you're like Brad and I -- that's us nodding our heads. We're just wired that way. That's not the end of the story...
But Brad had a mentor that wouldn't let go of him until he could see that drivenness is ruining his life.
Not the fact that he is driven (Brad didn't give that up), but the fact that he felt he wasn't enough unless he achieved X, Y, and Z.
Brad's marriage journey is pretty powerful and directly relates.
If Brad was more committed to his work than his wife -- she would feel betrayed. As many wives do who have this dynamic in their marriages.
Many out there sacrifice the possibility of peace and joy in their lives because they're too busy to notice the life Christ offers them.
God is sufficient.
God rested.
God delights in us -- you can delight in this world, and you can delight in those He intends for you to delight, your spouse and your children.
Let's abide in Him and learn from Brad as he shares these refreshing insights.

PPS - Here is a quote from a recent Coaching program graduate:
"My contact with DYM has completely transformed my life. I was depressed, pessimistic, shackled by shame, and largely unaware of who I was and what effect I was having on my family.
Through the skills and habits I learned in DYM God has truly made me a new creation. I now look forward to each new day and have a deep, healing, life-giving relationship with God that has freed me from shame, depression, and self-loathing."
