biblical view of work calling and family presence vs calling proverbs 31 woman theology of vocation work life balance Oct 16, 2025

The exhaustion is real, isn't it?

By day, you're building something you believe God called you to. By evening, you're so drained you're just going through the motions with your family. And that voice keeps asking: "How do I choose between my calling and being present?"

But what if that's the wrong question entirely?

Rachel's struggle hit me hard: "I feel like I'm living two lives. How do I choose between my calling and being present?" The assumption embedded in her question - that she HAD to choose - broke my heart. Because that's not biblical thinking. That's industrial revolution thinking that we've imported into our faith without questioning it.

The same God who calls you to fruitfulness also calls you to presence. He never intended for those to compete.

In this episode, you'll discover the integration secret that changes everything.

You'll learn:

  • Why the "either/or" mentality is cultural, not biblical
  • How Jesus integrated mission and relationships (never separated them)
  • The 4 Integration Principles that eliminate the false choice forever
  • Why pursuing your calling can actually make you MORE present, not less
  • The practical blueprint for building both/and living
  • How the Proverbs 31 woman did it all without burning out

Stop asking permission to honor all your callings. God designed you for integration, not separation.
