Ep 11 - How to Break Free from the Cycle of Overcommitment
Download your free guide: How to Break Free from the Cycle of Overcommitment
In this episode, I’m addressing one of the biggest contributors to burnout for Christian women: overcommitment. We say yes to things we don’t have the capacity for, we carry responsibilities God never assigned us, and we often mistake constant availability for obedience. But Jesus Himself modeled boundaries, rest, and intentional yeses, and you can, too.
This episode will help you break free from guilt-based yeses, protect your peace, and make room to follow God’s assignments with clarity and joy.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why it’s hard for Christian women to say no
• How Jesus modeled boundaries and selective obedience
• The Purpose Filter – three questions to guide your decisions
• How to stop saying yes out of guilt
• How to honor God with intentional commitments
Memorable Quotes
“A good opportunity isn’t always a God assignment.”
“Your yes is valuable. Stop giving it away cheaply.”
“Saying no isn’t selfish, it’s stewardship.”
“Protect your peace so you can protect your purpose.”
“You can’t honor God with a burnt-out yes.”
Scriptures to Reflect On
📖 Matthew 6:33
📖 Luke 5:16
📖 Colossians 3:23
Call to Action
Use the Purpose Filter before saying yes this week.
Ask:
- Is it aligned with God’s purpose for me?
- Is it essential for this season?
- Does it bring peace or pressure?
