]]> Ever felt like your life is one stroller flip away from a full-on meltdown? 

You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not called to do it all. 

In this hilarious (and humbling) episode of Strength in the Journey, we dive deep into the chaos of parenting, volunteering, and trying to do all the things — with a jaw-dropping true story that involves Chicken, the Heimlich maneuver, and one very vocal toddler.

We’ll talk about the difference between doing “good things” and doing God’s calling, why some of us need to quit taking every volunteer slot in church, and how only Jesus can bring real balance to our lives.

Encouraging, Christ-centered, and a little bit chaotic — this episode is for anyone who’s ever tried to do too much… and ended up face-first in the baby wipes.

Scripture Highlight: Matthew 6:33 | Ephesians 2:8-9 | 1 Corinthians 12:27
