Everyday Practices podcast co-hosts Regan Robertson and Dr. Chad Johnson continue their asynchronous business book review series as they discuss Dr. Richard A. Swenson's best-selling book Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives. With candor and humor, Regan and Dr. Chad share personal anecdotes and reflections, challenging listeners to examine their own lives and determine whether they're living within margin or living marginally. They highlight Dr. Swenson's prescriptions for cultivating margin in various aspects of life, from relationships to physical health, and even technological habits.
Tommy Thompson knows firsthand what it means to be overloaded and overwhelmed. He spent 35 years running multiple businesses while serving in church and raising a young family. Tommy was going 100 miles per hour – all for good things – until he found himself exhausted, stressed, and anxious. He and his wife launched into a 15-year process of learning to create margin in their lives and began to experience joy and rest. During this time, God was preparing them for an inconceivably difficult season of seeing their beautiful young daughter suffer as she battled cancer. "We knew that the only way we would survive this incredibly painful, hard season was to double down on creating space in our lives." In this episode, Mike and Tommy discuss margin, marketplace ministry, and mobilizing guys. Learn how Tommy began to "right-size" his life and fulfill his calling to impact people's lives for good and for God. "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand."

We are always in the middle of something - answering an email, running one more errand, just to get one more thing checked off our list. And that spills over into our days off (if we even have one!) producing more stress, anxiety, and fractured relationships leading to burnout. But God didn't intend for us to live this way. His way is freedom, margin, and cycles of work and rest. Listen as we discuss why rest is so deeply spiritual, and ways to make it happen! You will leave empowered to master your schedule and days off which lead to a fulfilled soul. ____ A. Why We Rest 1. Obedience 2. Trust + Surrender 3. This is God being the Good Shepherd to us. - Psalm 23 B. Mastering the Recharge 1. Protect the Day Off. - Maybe set up an email autoresponder and adding your office days/hours to email signature so others know why you don't respond on that day. - Unexpected invitation on your sabbath? Do this: 1. Check in with your spouse/roommate FIRST before responding. 2. Does this invitation serve the greater good for us in this week or meet a high value for our family in this season? 3. What is our bandwidth? Do we have energy for another thing or will this add to the overwhelm, exhaustion and eventual burnout? 2. Know Thyself 3.
