Summary

Today, I'm with the brilliant Jeff Bethke to talk about why you may need to ditch the American dream, say "To With The Hustle", and find a way to be human again. Jeff shares why his family decided to get off the conveyor belt of overachievement, restructure their family life, and take some leaps that were well worth it. In this episode we discuss: 1. What Elsa and Arendell can teach us about risk-taking. 2. Living wisely in an information overload culture. 3. What it means to live an integrated life. Favorite quotes: 1. So many of us are trying to achieve spiritual perfection when God is more concerned about spiritual formation. He doesn’t want you to just reach the goal, He wants you to become a particular type of person. 2. A lot of us are willing to make certain sacrifices based on the monetary financial gain rather than asking “Is this job humanizing to me? Is this job where the Lord has actually called me?” 3. There’s a trajectory that our culture puts us on that’s just more, more, more, do, do, do. The pressure seems to compound and the farther we went down this conveyor belt of the American dream, the more we were actually losing practices, formations, rhythms, and rituals that we believe profoundly make us human. In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How do you deal with writing about family issues and struggles in your books? (46:06) 2. If a Christian commits a sexual sin is it forgivable? If so, why are ministers who have a “moral failure” asked to step down? (52:58) 3. I’m a creative entrepreneur and I hate systems, and so far it hasn’t hurt my growth. Do I have to build systems or can I stay successful without them? (1:00:05) Links to great things we discussed: 1. Jeff Bethkey 2. To With The Hustle: Reclaiming Your Life in an Overworked, Overspent, and Overconnected World 3. Sinach- Waymaker 4. Frozen 2 5. Lost Connections: Why You’re Depressed and How to Find Hope 6. Chasing the Scream: The Opposite of Addiction is Connection 7. Cast iron Hope you loved this episode!

0:00.0	Hey, hey, this is Allie and welcome to the Allie Worthington show.
0:06.7	It's where we gather, learn, share our stories, and have a great time.
0:10.8	Every week I'll be chatting with a friend who I know, who I like and I respect,
0:15.4	and I want to learn something from.
0:17.3	And after we have that discussion, we are going to have coaching time.
0:20.3	So I'm going to be
0:20.8	answering your questions about life, about faith, and about business. Welcome to the show today.
0:28.6	I'm with the super fun, Jefferson Bethke, author, speaker, and all around great guy. This is such a

1:01.0	questions. The live question this week is how do you deal with writing about family issues and
1:05.4	struggles in your books? This is a good one because it's a delicate thing. When you're a writer and really for me my whole life is fodder,
1:15.5	I have to be really careful that I'm not sharing more about my family's life than they feel comfortable with me sharing.
1:21.6	So great question.
1:22.8	And the faith question this week is, if a Christian commits a sexual sin, is it forgivable?
