Are you living under the constant pressure of feeling like you should be doing MORE? Or feeling like you should BE more? That you're always letting people down. Or letting GOD down. If guilt and overwhelm have become a big part of your life, I'm glad you found this episode! As my guest today writes in his new book, You Were Never Meant to Do It All: A 40-Day Devotional on the Goodness of Being Human, “God has not designed us to do everything, be everywhere, or know everything. We can value our work, our bodies, and our relationships without thinking we must have endless energy, always be strong, or have unending emotional reserves. God simply didn't create us in this way.” I'm excited to introduce you today to Dr. Kelly Kapic. Eric and I met Kelly and his wife, Tabitha, through mutual friends while our daughter was attending Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, where Dr. Kapic is a professor of theological studies. Kelly is also a speaker and an award-winning author. His books have greatly impacted our family, so for this episode, I asked my husband Eric to join me in this helpful conversation about accepting and finding freedom in our limitations as humans. There is much to be gained by leaning into God's good design for us. To realize that we CAN'T “do it all”, not because something is wrong with us, but because we are created to be dependent on God and on others. Only God Himself is without limits and fully in control. As we more deeply settle into this way of thinking and living, we can experience greater growth, a deeper sense of community, and more peace, rest, and JOY! You can learn more about Dr. Kapic's work and writing here: https://www.covenant.edu/academics/bible/faculty/kapic.html Also, don't forget that as a Fighting for Joy listener you can receive 10% off of your first month of counseling services from BetterHelp, my podcast sponsor.

In part two of their conversation, David Wollen and Dr. Kelly Kapic reflect on how embracing our limits leads us to deeper joy in Christ and faithful service to others.

Human limitations are unavoidable, but how does God feel about them? Does He want you to find a way to push past your limits, or could it be that you were never meant to do it all?

If you're like me, you probably know what it feels like to chase after a never-ending to-do list, trying to squeeze every bit of productivity out of your days, only to end up exhausted and wondering if you're missing something vital. Today's conversation might be exactly what you need. My guest is theologian and author Kelly Kapic. Kelly is a professor at Covenant College and the author of the deeply encouraging books You're Only Human and the brand-new 40-day devotional, You Were Never Meant to Do It All. Kelly reminds us today that our limitations aren't problems to overcome, they're actually a part of God's good design for us. He gently challenges our obsession with productivity, individualism, and endless hustle, calling us instead into rhythms of rest, dependence, and real community. In this episode, Kelly and I explore what it means to truly embrace our human limits as a gift rather than a burden. We talk about sleep and Sabbath as practices that help us reconnect to God's gracious pace, how genuine community keeps us honest about our needs, and how gratitude and lament can help us live fully human lives, rich with meaning. If you're tired of feeling like you're never quite enough, this conversation is for you. So slow down, take a deep breath, and join us as Kelly Kapic guides us into the beauty of being joyfully and authentically human.Kelly M. Kapic (PhD, King's College, University of London) is professor of theological studies at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, where he has taught since 2001. He is a popular speaker and the award-winning author or editor of more than fifteen books, including the devotional You Were Never Meant to Do It All, The God Who Gives, and the Christianity Today Book Award winners You're Only Human and Embodied Hope: A Theological Meditation on Pain and Suffering.

In this profound and hope-filled conversation, award-winning theologian Dr. Kelly M. Kapic joins us to explore the intersection of mental health, anxiety, and theology. Drawing from his acclaimed book You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News, Kapic challenges the cultural narrative that treats human limitations as flaws to be fixed. Instead, he invites us to see our finitude as part of God's good design—a truth that offers deep relief in the face of anxiety, burnout, and unrealistic expectations. We also touch on insights from his other works, including Embodied Hope and Becoming Whole, as we discuss how accepting our God-given limits can lead to greater spiritual health, emotional honesty, and a more grounded life. If you're wrestling with perfectionism, exhaustion, or a pressure to "do it all," this episode is for you. We talk about why our limits are not sins, the theological roots of anxiety and performance culture, how embracing finitude opens the door to real community and grace, and what it means to be fully human in a fast-paced, success-driven world. Join us for a refreshing and compassionate take on what it means to be whole in a world that prizes productivity over presence. Check out Kelly's book: You're Only Human Also, see his new 40 day devotional: You Were Never Meant to Do It All

Throughout the season of Lent, we're releasing weekly episodes focused on spiritual practices.We live in an age of speed and overwhelm, where we often feel we are expected to do more, move faster, work harder, brush past boundaries and limits, and shave margins. When we inevitably fail to meet all demands, we are left feeling not only exhausted, but often diminished."Part of what you start to see is ... our limits ... is actually what fosters our relationship with God, with others, even with the earth ... it's the stuff of life." But what if, instead of seeing our limitations as an impediment, we could learn to view them as a blessing, even a gift? In You're Only Human, theologian and scholar Kelly Kapic provides a theologically grounded approach to understanding and receiving the gift of our human finitude.He offers us a way to find joy and relief in our incarnational limits and use them to foster greater freedom, spiritual growth, and deeper community.This podcast is drawn from our Online Conversation from December 2022.

In today's episode, Jeff and Laura sit down with author, professor, and Bible teacher, Kelly Kapic. They discuss the connection between our human limitations and God's fourth commandment of honoring the Sabbath.

We pray this episode prompts you to experience the Sabbath as not just rest but entering into God's rest.

About the Episode: Author Kelly Kapic discusses how God places limits on our lives to bring us closer to Him through true dependence. In a world where limits are seen as negative, Dr. Kapic talks about the beauty of those limits, brought about by some of his own personal journey as well as being a professor. Limits can be seen as physical, emotional, educational, relational, age-related, or many other things. Hear them discuss the unintended consequences of trying to do all the world says we have to do to keep up or get ahead and whether we are even asking God. How can we live counter-culturally with regard to accepting our limits and abiding in Christ? There is so much beauty in God's design.

In this episode, Kapic explores the theology behind seeing our human limitations as a gift rather than a deficiency. He lays out a path to holistic living with healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world. He frees us from confusing our limitations with sin and instead invites us to rest in the joy and relief of knowing that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community.

Today we finish our great interview with Dr. Kelly Kapic, professor of theological studies at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. His book, "You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News" is a breath of fresh air for Christian parents who constantly struggle with their own limitations as parents. In this second part, Kelly talks about how personal limitations reflects the human need for support from others. Should we be careful about "co-dependency" and other toxic relationships? What does humility really mean from a Christian perspective? These and other things get thrown around in Dr. Ken and Kelly's discussion. This is part two of two episodes.

Most all parents constantly feel guilty that they're not doing enough for their kids. For Christian parents, does our faith make any difference when we suffer like this? Theology professor Kelly Kapic's most recent book, "You're Only Human" takes on this constant guilt and self-judgment. He reminds us that human limitations are not the same as sin. As a college professor he has seen first hand how so many of our kids are taught to have those same demands on themselves. Kelly is the author of several books including his award-winning, "Embodied Hope: A Theological Meditation on Pain and Suffering." He reminds us that our stress isn't a time-management problem, it's a theological problem of knowing who God is and how he wants us to live into the world he created.

“Our creativity is better with seasons of rest,” says Kelly Kapic, author of You're Only Human: How your limits reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News and today's guest on Working with Dan Doriani. Rest is a reflection of our limitations, and limitations are more broadly a sign of our humanness. God made us finite, with boundaries to what we can accomplish. Our creatureliness, our dependency, and our finitude lead us toward humility, or at least it ought to. Dan and Kelly work through all the implications of being human in this illuminating conversation. We're giving away a few copies of Kelly's book—click here to enter for the opportunity to win You're Only Human, provided by Brazos Press.

We all know that we have limits, that's a part of being human.  But most of us see our limits as a curse not a gift.  How do our limits reflect God's design?  How are our limits actually good news for us?  How is it a good thing that we are dependent beings?  We'll answer these questions and more with our guest, Dr. Kelly Kapic, a theologian at Covenant College in his book, You're Only Human.Dr. Kelly Kapic is Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College, where he has taught since 2001.  He is the author of numerous books and articles, including Embodied Hope and Becoming Whole. ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Read a transcript of this episode at: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/think-biblically/2023/you-re-only-human.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically   Watch video episodes at: https://bit.ly/think-biblically-video

19th century Danish philosopher Søren Kirkegaard once mused, “Busyness tends to prevent people from forming a heart.” Theologian Kelly Kapic agrees. Kelly shares his struggle to shed the unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves and the solution he found to “the busy problem” — embracing our limitations, which connects us to God and to others.   *Are you celebrating Lent with your family?

It's for all of God's people.”  – Kelly Kapic   “What I found so often was that wave of shame that would come over me when I put my head on the pillow, it was so often this: I should have gotten more done today. I should have done more. And so the question is, did God actually think I needed to do more?”  – Kelly Kapic   “It would be beautiful for us to revisit and understand the rhythms of work and rest and laughter and delight in gratitude, not just busyness.”  – Kelly Kapic   “Really embracing our limitations brings freedom and joy because at its base, it connects us to God and others.”  – Kelly Kapic   “Humility at its best is a recognition that to be a human creature is to be dependent on God, to be dependent on neighbor, and to be dependent on the Earth.” – Kelly Kapic   “I think it takes a tremendous amount of courage to believe not just that God loves you, but He likes you. And He is faithful to slowly, truly be working in your life.” – Kelly Kapic   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Covenant College Ben Franklin Netflix Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

We cover areas related to performance driven Christiantiy, Sabbath, transhumanism, and how the never ending quest to do more, produce more, achieve more, and fulfill all the duties that we're told we need to fulfill is hindering our flourshing as humans and cuts against the grain of how God wants us to live.  If you've enjoyed this content, please subscribe to my channel!  Support Theology in the Raw through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theologyintheraw

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV)   Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”   Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”   Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.”    Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”    Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”    Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”    John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”   Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”    Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”   Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”   Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Kelly M. Kapic (PhD) is professor of theological studies at Covenant College. In this episode, Josh interviews Kelly about You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News. Rather than sharing better time-management tips to squeeze more hours out of the day, Kelly Kapic offers a better way to make peace with the fact that God didn't create us to do it all. Kapic explores the theology behind seeing our human limitations as a gift rather than a deficiency.

Pastor Jeff is pleased to have Dr. Kelly Kapic join him on Distinct People Distinct Time to discuss the theological implications of our humanity and to discuss Dr. Kapic's most recent book You're Only Human.______________________________Resources from the EpisodeBooks:You're Only Human // Kelly Kapic_____________________________Show Notes:SUMMARY Pastor Jeff Long welcomed Dr. Kelly Kapic as a special guest to discuss his book, You're Only Human, which explores the idea of human limits reflecting God's design. Dr. Kapic is a professor at Covenant College and is originally from Lodi, California. He has been married for 30 years and has been teaching theology since 2001. The personal motivation for Dr. Kapic's book was due to his wife's battle with a rare form of breast cancer that normally affects people in their eighties. Pastor Long asked why he wrote the book and Dr. Kapic explained that his motivation was both personal and theological in nature. He believes that recognizing and embracing our limitations can help us better understand God's design.Dr. Kelly Kapic speaks about his wife's journey with cancer and chronic pain over the past decade. These experiences inspired Kapic to write a book, Embodied Hope on Pain and Suffering, which ultimately helped him to be ready to talk about the good of being human. He also speaks of the guilt and shame he often experiences at night when he lies down in bed. His wife's story of pain and suffering, as well as his own, are important parts of Kapic's journey.Dr. Kelly Kapic and Pastor Jeff Long discuss how God's to-do list and expectations of humans can be interpreted through the theological concept of finitude. Dr. Kelly Kapic notes the importance of recognizing finitude when raising children. He argues that children are not expected to be good at everything and that we should not be categorizing them by how busy they are.

In this episode we talk about limits with Dr. Kelly Kapic, who is Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College (in Lookout Mountain, Georgia), and the author of You're Only Human: How Our Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News (published by Brazos). Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Kapic talks about the importance of human limitation and how it should be considered from within a theology of creation. In particular, he highlights that we should not feel guilty for our lack of productivity at the end of the day, but neither should we give in to a one-sided emphasis on how our identity is unrelated to the work that we do or the bodies that we have. We want to avoid a hyper self-reliance on the one hand, and Gnosticism on the other. This conversation helpfully sets up the series that we have planned next on Disability and Theology. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Stephanie Kate Judd, Dr. Madison Pierce, Rev. Dr. Chris Porter, and Dr. Sydney Tooth.

The Blessing of Limitations with Kelly Kapic We live in an age of speed and overwhelm, where we often feel we are constantly expected to do more, move faster, work harder, brush past boundaries and limits, and shave margins. When we inevitably fail to meet all demands, we are left feeling not only exhausted and discouraged, but often disoriented and diminished. But what if, instead of seeing our limitations as an impediment, we could learn to view them as a blessing, even a gift? In You're Only Human, theologian and scholar Kelly Kapic provides a theologically grounded approach to understanding and receiving the gift of our human finitude. On this final podcast episode of our Advent series, Kelly Kapic offers us a way to find joy and relief in our incarnational limits and use them to foster greater freedom, spiritual growth, and deeper community.This podcast is an edited version of our Online Conversation from December 2022.

The values of our modern world are individualism, productivity, and efficiency, and while not bad things in themselves, they have so crept into our Christian experience unnoticed. In fact, they have been adopted and Christianized--used to justify ministry, busy-ness, and the inhumanity of man. What if God wants something altogether different for us? What if He wants us to not only make disciples but be disciples? That's what we are talking about today!

Perhaps we have forgotten something about ourselves that we are creatures with limitations and that is a good thing?

Yes! Yes! Yes! Listen in to this stress-relieving, shame-shedding, and guilt-reducing conversation that takes us back to the Garden to rediscover our origin story and our humanity.
