Do you see your present situation as a holding pattern, a season that you just need to get through, or do you see it as a sovereign assignment from God?

In this audio-only episode of the podcast, I share a sermon I recently delivered on 1 Corinthians 7:17–24. I pray you find it helpful and encouraging as you see to serve God in whatever calling He has for you.

Most of us hit summer running on fumes. The first half of the year has a way of grinding you down. We feel this tension between needing to stay the course and also needing to chill out.As we come up on the halfway point of the year, it’s a great chance to take stock, rethink your goals, and make a light plan for the summer that is both restful and purposeful.In this workshop, we’ll put a special emphasis on what we call “Gift Goals.” These are the kinds of intentional efforts that are restful, enjoyable, and slow-paced—the perfect recipe for summer.You'll walk away from this workshop: - With a fresh sense of rest being a gift from the Lord, not a thing to feel guilty about- Knowing exactly which goals to keep, which to kick down the road, and which to drop altogether - And with inspiration and a plan for creating your own Gift Goals: low-pressure, soul-feeding pursuits that make summer feel like the gift God designed it to be—Want to go deeper? The Redeeming Productivity Academy is a 9-week course + community where we build every part of a God-honoring productivity system together. Learn more at https://redeemingproductivity.com/academy
