God Will Get Things Done — So You Can Leave Some Things Undone

Do you ever feel like the chores are never finished, the messages never stop, and there's always one more thing to do before you can finally rest? If you're a tired parent waiting until everything is done before taking a break, this episode is for you. In this encouraging episode of the Tired Parents Podcast, Dani Kinchen explores a powerful biblical truth that many overwhelmed parents need to hear: you don't have to get everything done. Through Scripture and real-life parenting struggles, we'll see how Jesus, the disciples, and King David all stepped away from important responsibilities to spend time with God, rest, and be renewed. ✓ Why so many parents struggle to find time for themselves ✓ The surprising statistics about parental burnout and spiritual exhaustion ✓ What Jesus did when crowds demanded more of His time and attention ✓ Biblical examples of rest, solitude, and prayer ✓ How to prioritize your spiritual, mental, and physical well-being without guilt ✓ Why trusting God allows us to leave some tasks unfinished 2018 Munchery "Me Time" Survey : https://www.foxnews.com/family/parent...
