Before she got married, Katie Jones became immersed in the FIRE movement (Financial Independence Retire Early). An early goal of hers was to retire by the age of 40. But over time, she began to question the concept of passive income and her approach to both money and work. She began to ask “What does my faith have to do with that and what does God say about it?”

“Financial independence in and of itself isn’t wrong. It becomes wrong when it crosses the line so that I’m relying only on myself, and not on God.” Katie Jones

WHOA...THAT^^^^^

Do you struggle with seeking the Lord in prayer?

Do you ever get to a point where you think “I’m not going to do this well, so why even try?”

If so, you’re not the only one!

The perfectionist in us sometimes keeps us from going to God in prayer, and then we tend to feel guilty about that. Listen, getting lost in silly or inconsequential activities will happen (think: scrolling through Instagram or getting lost in Pinterest) - because we’re human.

But we don’t have to allow shame about doing those things to stop us from going back to God.

We don’t have to feel defeated before we even start. Val and I had a great conversation about her getting off Instagram last February. And if you’re struggling with getting sucked into any platform and being obedient to what God’s calling you to do personally, there’s lots of “gold” in this episode.

Her knack for “doing things” has come in handy as they have created our own systems for small group registration, volunteer applications and screening, quality service surveying and other administrative tasks.
