Why Can't I Get it Together (Ft. Jamie Ivey)

SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

Have you ever had a difficult day and just asked yourself, "Why can't I get it together?"

Maybe you lost your temper with your spouse, or you're exhausted from running around after your kids all day. Maybe your work project isn't going how you had hoped, or you feel overwhelmed by every little thing.

Between the endless list of obligations and responsibilities you have and all the things you're "supposed" to do or be, it's just too much.

You're trying to “get it together”, but you still feel worlds away from where you think you should be.

In this episode, Jordan talks with author Jamie Ivey about six areas of our lives that affect our perspectives on success and what the Bible has to say about unrealistic expectations.

Tune in to learn:

• How the acronym P.O.N.D.E.R. can help you assess the areas of your life that feel out of control
• The difference between an obligation and a responsibility
• How to know when you have taken on too many obligations and what obligations you need to let go of
• The difference between our pursuit of perfectionism and the pursuit of holiness
• How your community can help you "get it together"
