Welcome back To the Table. Here’s lie #3 – and this conversation is a good one. Have you ever felt like you just can’t get it done? You can’t be what everyone needs you to be? Same. If you don’t know it yet, the Lord tends to use the last person we would consider for the job. He delights in using our “mess” to accomplish his perfect plans.

We were never meant to carry the weight of our burdens/responsibilities/callings/trials alone. Jesus promises that He will never leave us or forsake us. He is also the one who puts us in the place He wants us. He has you in your community for a purpose. He gives us the grace we need to do whatever it is that He’s called us to do. Reread that last sentence again. We pray that you (we) walk in freedom this week, knowing that he who called you is faithful.

You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Welcome back To the Table. We all have these moments where we wish things were different, we were different. You know the moments when you think “this can’t be happening” or “I can’t handle another thing”. Now these are silly examples, but can you relate? We’re back talking about not being enough (and if you haven’t yet, pause this episode and go back and listen to episode 30Y – trust me.) The point is – we are all weak at times. We all make mistakes. We all struggle with not being enough (fill in the blank) . We are all susceptible to the attacks of the enemy. So, let’s just be honest. Let’s just walk in the freedom that the Lord gives us and know that we can’t do anything without him. Let’s use our shortcomings/weaknesses/struggles/failures - whatever you want to call them - to point people back to THE One. Jesus. Why would we choose to hide in shame anyways? That sounds terrible.

Jesus promises his power is made perfect in our weakness.

Welcome back To the Table. Have you ever had this sense that maybe you just aren’t cut out for this (whatever it may be)? You get to a certain point in the work, and you think to yourself “this is a mistake”, “I don’t have what it takes to do this well”, or “I can’t keep going”. Well, here’s the truth: you can’t do it alone. Today we’re chatting with our dear friend Paula Harris, as we uncover the lie that the enemy whispers in our ear over and over and over again – you’re not enough. With Jesus, we are fully equipped to do whatever the Lord calls us to. We get to walk in freedom, knowing that we may not have the answers or the plan for how it will happen, but we have a relationship with the creator, who literally made us for the work he calls us to.
