418 | 5-Minute Mentoring: How Saying No Moves Us Closer To God

Send us a text When you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or struggling to find the time for what God has called you to do, there’s one little word that can help you a lot: No. Being able to say no to things that are adding to your overwhelm, or are stumbling blocks in the way of God’s plan for you, is a very powerful tool to have in your tool chest. Unfortunately, it can be hard for many of us to actually pull out that tool and use it when the time comes. But if you can learn to say no to the things that are not bringing you closer to God's design and assignment for you in the Kingdom, you will be empowered and open to say yes to the things that are. In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I give you some ideas of things that you may need to say no to in order to move closer to the path God wants you on.
