00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,360
Hey friend, if you came looking 
for a new free delete episode 

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,520
today, you didn't miss it. 
It's just not here. 

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,960
And that's my design. 
I wanted to take a minute to 

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,600
share what's happening and why 
things might be a little quieter

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,440
around here. 
Just for a bit. 

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,360
So last week the Lord asked me 
to do something I honestly 

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,640
didn't see coming, and that is 
to step back and pause and rest 

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,280
in Him for a season. 
And I'm going to be honest with 

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,160
you, I wrestled with my yes for 
about 3 two weeks because if you

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,520
know me, you know I'm a doer. 
I love creating, recording, 

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,360
building, just pouring out. 
It's just how I'm wired. 

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,760
But this time God made it really
clear that he wanted my 

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,520
stillness more than my striving,
more than my doing. 

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,600
It's funny because sometimes 
obedience doesn't look like 

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,680
taking another big step forward.
Sometimes it looks like laying 

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,200
down something good so that he 
can bring something greater. 

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,760
It really reminded me of the 
story of Peter when Jesus told 

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,600
him to cast his net on on the 
other side after a night of 

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,640
catching nothing. 
Peter could have said, Lord, 

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,120
I've already tried that. 
Like I got this, I know what I'm

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,280
doing. 
It didn't work. 

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,680
But instead he obeyed. 
And that obedience led to 

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,840
overflow like the boat almost 
tipped or like Abraham, who was 

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,440
willing to lay down the promise 
that he waited for years for 

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,040
trusting that God would provide.
And that's what this season 

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,960
feels like for me right now. 
It's really seeing what's in my 

27
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,480
hands so that God can play 
something new there. 

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,360
And I'm going to be honest, 
being still is not my strength, 

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,560
but I also know there's purpose 
in the pause. 

30
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,440
There's something that he wants 
to refill. 

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,760
There's something he wants to 
realign and restore in me before

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,360
I can keep pouring out. 
So while the Free to Lead 

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,720
podcast is going to take a short
break, I'm not disappearing. 

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120
I'm still coaching. 
I'm still walking with my 

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,480

And you can always book a 

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,920

00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,880
own season of healing or growth.
But in the meantime, I'd love 

40
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,640

speaking.
