March 24, 2025 ● 13 minShare this episode
Do you ever feel like if you can’t do it all—and do it perfectly—it’s not even worth starting? That’s the trap of all-or-nothing thinking. It quietly fuels shame, burnout, and discouragement—keeping you stuck and unsure how to move forward.
In this episode, Bonnie shares a heartfelt (and slightly nerdy!) story about her love for sci-fi and how it reveals a deeper truth about the spiritual journey: God never asks us to grow at warp speed. Instead, He invites us to take small, grace-filled steps at His pace of peace.
You’ll learn 3 truths from scripture and the “Law of the Harvest” to help you release pressure, overcome perfectionism, and step confidently into what God is calling you to do—with emotional wellness and peace leading the way.
Tune into this episode to stop waiting for the perfect moment—and start walking in your God-inspired purpose with peace and clarity.
Key Takeaways:
- Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps you from peace, purpose, and progress
- How to reframe growth as a slow, soul-nourishing journey with God
- 3 biblical truths to break free from pressure and procrastination
- A science-backed soul care practice to calm your nervous system and spark motivation
How to feel emotionally safe to take your next brave step with God
Breath Prayer:
(inhale) The nearness of God is my good…
(exhale) I am safe in His love.
Scripture: Psalm 73:28 — “But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.”
