When life is busy, the urgent dominates our schedule while the important slips away. Join us as Pastor David explains why we must let God reprioritize our lives.
Overloaded? Maxed out? Our culture encourages us to live as if we have no limits. So we fill up our schedules and empty our bank accounts. We do as much as we can, spend as much as we can, and acquire as much as we can—all in an effort to get as much as we can out of life. The secret, however, to getting more out of life is not by doing more, but by doing less. Join us as we learn how to create the margin you need to live the life God intends for you.
