Episode 5: In Over Your Head 

Date: Sunday, September 16th 6:15-7:45pm

Featured Guest: Susie Larson

Do you spend your days rushing from one task to the next, frantically checking things off your list? It’s easy to become so consumed with keeping it all together that you forget to seek God’s plan for your life. He has a much better vision for you—fulfillment and peace that only His grace can provide.

Author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson helps you find balance within your hectic life. You will learn that being at your best doesn’t mean taking on every task, and meaningful satisfaction can’t be bought with a completed to-do list. Be inspired to move past halfhearted living and second bests into a kingdom of rejuvenation, health, and eternal nourishment.

We hope this interview will help you to cultivate balance and savor moments of work and rest—both of which He has lovingly created.
