Summary
Josh and Christi talk about:
* Why it's important to discern if you're saying yes out of a conviction of the Holy Spirit, or compulsion due to pressure from others.* Why it is vital to understand what you are assigned to in this season, and what your values/mission are as a family, so you can show up as the best version of yourself everywhere you go.* What it looks like to say yes to the right opportunities, and the power in inviting your kids into it.
