S5 | Embrace Your Limitations Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

There’s always more work to do, more activities to plan, and more people to see…but there’s not always enough time, resources, or capacity to do it all. We may not like to admit it, but none of us are actual superheroes! So how do we make peace with the capacity we’ve been given? And maybe even see God's grace in it all? Join Ruth and Eve for today's conversation!
