Episode 14- Burning Out With Good Intentions




Fearless Talk show

Summary: This episode features Anjel’s and Ebie’s experiences in the first three months of launching Fearless Co. From the beginning, the vision of Fearless Co. was big- bigger than us and bigger than anything we thought we could do. But we believed that as long as we were showing up to the occasion, God would give us the grace and strength to operate Fearless Co.. and while we did our best to invite the Holy Spirit into every part of the process, we found ourselves ignoring the very clear signs of burnout. To us, burnout looked like exhaustion, doubt, chaos, resentment, and a lack of creativity. We found ourselves striving more and more, and while we were experiencing supernatural favor and opportunities, other significant priorities in our lives began suffering because of our lack of boundary setting and planning. Don’t get us wrong, it was great and we never once wanted to stop, but it was hard to find balance. It wasn’t until a trip to The Holy Land that we realized we had been ignoring God’s call to rest and reset for far too long. It was during this time that God revealed three necessary changes that we needed to implement if we wanted to be successful in our lives and his purpose for our lives. We needed to know our priorities and boundaries and we needed to pause and reset anytime God told us to. We realized that while these things were elementary, they would be the very things that success (in life, relationship, and ministry) would hinge on. We are learning so very much in this process and we can’t wait to see what God will do with Fearless Co.. Knowing that he’s been so good without striving makes us so excited to see what He will do with our best. We are so thankful for the tenderness of Jesus- for how he revealed himself and his desires for our lives to us in the season, and for what he’ll continue to teach us every step of the way. Here’s to all that’s to come!
