S5 EP4: Rooted, Not Rushed: 5 things to remember when you can't control the outcome

on November 09, 2026

It’s here! It’s here! It’s here!!! Tomorrow is the day "Rooted, Not Rushed” releases and I am SOOOO excited!!!!!! This book feels so timely. When I think about how AWARE the Holy Spirit is, it makes me cry. He is so personal. This book feels really important for where we are as a culture and amidst the ever-present distractions of this world.

Speaking of distractions and focusing on what actually lasts, the Lord has been teaching me so much about the difference between being faithful with what He’s entrusted to me and trying to control what happens with it.

When something matters, we want to know how it will turn out. We want reassurance that our decisions are wise, the people we love will be okay, and the things we’re investing in will matter. Sometimes our desire for control looks an awful lot like responsibility. Preparation. Being thoughtful. Wanting to do something well.

We can do everything within our responsibility and still not be able to determine the result. That’s not a failure of faithfulness. It’s a reminder that we’re human, and God is God.

In this week’s podcast (listen above before you read! or vice versa—whatever floats your boat), I shared five reminders. I think these will be really PRACTICAL and helpful reminders as you sort through whatever this looks like in your own life.

p.s. Before we dive into alllllll the good content, could I ask you a favor? If you haven’t preordered Rooted, Not Rushed, would you consider it now? It costs as much as a meal from Chick-fil-A and would mean SO much to me!!! Pre-order the new devotional, "Rooted, Not Rushed" on Amazon today.
