Summary
A Google search says this: “Finding balance comes from giving time and energy to the things that build you up and give you life. And likewise, eliminating the things that bring you down and stress you out.”
But as women of mission, we cannot just eliminate what is broken - we live in a broken world with real hurts and God has called us to this place. If everyone is trying to find it - this mysterious sense of balance - maybe it’s not there.
We’re showing up to this conversation with these questions in hand:
- Who decides what is balanced?
- Is there a difference between worldly balance and Kingdom balance?
- Was Jesus balanced?
- How can we divulge ourselves of the illusion of balance to serve others?
Listen in as we start what is only the beginning of this conversion. We pray this episode frees you up from the idea of needing to have it all together. His power is made perfect in our weakness, and we get to run in that freedom today.

| 0:18.9 | We want to encourage you in your God-given mission. |
| 0:22.1 | We want to talk about what feels difficult in life. And most of all, we want to help you keep going |

| 0:34.1 | what's ahead in this episode. |
| 0:43.8 | Gals, I've already said to my friends, Kanisha and Brenna, at the start of this podcast, |
| 0:50.1 | I've already said that I don't know if we've ever had such an important podcast conversation. |
| 0:53.8 | And this is going to be a short one, and it's a conversation, I believe, we'll keep having. |
| 0:57.2 | I also don't know that we've ever had a conversation that we've had to fight so hard for, |
| 1:00.7 | because technology has really been just fighting us. |
| 1:02.7 | It's mad at us today. |
| 1:06.7 | This is mad. So we're just going to believe in Jesus' name. There's some good stuff here. |
| 1:11.7 | Today we want to talk about balance. I'm going to give you a one-minute spiel about why I want to talk about balance. I'm going to give you a one minute spiel about why I want to talk about this and then we're just going to roll. All of us have a lot of thoughts. Kanisha and Brenna, |
| 1:16.3 | our podcast producer. But here's my deal. This is why I want to talk about. This is my pain point. |
| 1:21.5 | I think we're all faking it. And I think we're all exhausted. And I think women in their 20s are tired. I think women in their |
| 1:33.3 | 30s are tired. I think women in their 40s are tired. I think women in their 50s are tired. |
| 1:37.3 | I think that there are singular people who have achieved some different levels of maybe satisfaction or comfort with their particular |
| 1:48.1 | life rhythms. But I think for the most part, we're all pretty tired. We're all struggling. |
| 1:54.2 | We're all wondering how everybody else gets her laundry done and like all the things finished. |
| 2:04.2 | And I think women are obsessed with balance. And here in the go and tell girls office and specifically whenever we're coaching people we have learned to ask this |
| 2:10.1 | question we've learned to say like there's something behind every time somebody asks us about balance |
