SERIES FOCUS: Breathing room is the space between our current PACE and our LIMITS.
Think About It: How can I do the work I love, without losing the people I love?
Key Truth about Work & Relationships:
You can't do the work you love without EFFICIENCY.
You can't keep the people you love without EQUITY.
"Two things we want so desperately, glory and relationship, can coexist only in God."
Tim Keller, Every Good Endeavor
Myth: God, I'll take care of things at WORK if you take care of things at HOME.
Reality Check: God never asks us to SURRENDER our lives to our work.
Colossians 3:22-24 NLT
Truth: God, I'll take care of things at HOME if you take care of things at WORK.
Ephesians 5:25-27 NIV
Ephesians 6:14 NIV
Key Truth: Don't trade what's unique to YOU for something somebody else will DO.
NEXT STEPS:
Develop a workday SHUTDOWN habit.
Think EFFICIENTLY when it comes to the work you love.
Think EQUITY when it comes to the ones you love.
Men, JOIN A GROUP with other men.
