Refuse to settle for less than God’s best with Julie Lefebure
Are you pouring everything out into writing or launching your book, and feeling depleted? Running on empty and telling yourself that's just part of the process?
What if that's not actually how it's supposed to be as a Christian author?
In this episode I'm sitting down with my sweet friend, Julie Lefebure, author of Made for More: 365 Devotions for the Woman Who Refuses to Settle.
We talk about why we keep running on empty, what that word “busy” is actually doing to us, and how spiritual disconnection and busyness feed each other in ways most of us haven't stopped to think about.
Julie also shares what five years of weekly podcasting has taught her about showing up with a message, reaching people you'd never reach any other way, and why you don't need a book yet to start.
