Stepping Over the Guardrail: Letting Go of Control and Surviving Egypt

Have you ever woken up, looked around at your life, and thought, "How in the world did I end up here?" In this episode, Lisa and Lori sit down for a raw, honest conversation about the tug-of-war between overthinking and impulsivity. Lisa confesses her struggle as an overthinker who feels safe only when following the rules—even when it means physically staying behind the guardrail and missing the view. Meanwhile, Lori opens up about her tendency to jump right over the boundaries just to feel like she's in control, only to find herself sitting in "Egypt." Together, they dive into what it truly means to offer our lives as a complete sacrifice, the unique heartaches of parenting adult children, and why we have to stop trying to "fix" everyone else's problems. If you struggle with anxiety, a need to know the future, or find yourself sitting in a hard season wondering what God is doing, this episode is a beautiful reminder that He has a plan for the plunder, even when the timeline makes no sense to us.
