Overbooked and Overwhelmed: How to Keep Up with God When You’re Just Trying to Keep Up with Life

Read by the author.

You’re over-busy, over-notified, and just plain over it. But what can you do about it?

Ever have those days where every battery in your life is running low? Every ping you hear is from someone who needs you. Every item you cross off your list has three more to take its place. Let’s face it: Sometimes those days are every day. And the result? God ends up getting the leftovers. It’s not that you don’t value time with Him, deeper rest, or growing your faith. You just don’t know where you can find the energy to make those things more than an afterthought when so much is constantly pinging in.

The reality is, your responsibilities probably aren’t going to change any time soon. The value of what you do and who you do it for isn’t going to change. So how are you going to change? In Overbooked and Overwhelmed author and podcaster Tara Sun gives you the ideas and inspiration you need to

• adjust your speed to walk at Jesus’ pace instead of keeping up with the world’s hustle,? • understand why true peace starts not with ordering your schedule but your heart, • develop spiritual resilience for the times you feel stuck in your faith, and • trade habitual busyness for intentional rhythms of rest, even in seasons when life does not slow down.

For all who feel behind before the day even starts, Overbooked and Overwhelmed helps you put distractions in their place, center your life around Jesus, and prioritize His presence—no matter how crazy-busy life is.
