What’s really going on when we want to put on our comfy pants and not engage with people?
We are all tired of adulting and over-analyzing, and being hyper-vigilant about All The Things. We just want a break because this has been one crazy year, so, in this episode, we break down:
- What we mean by “comfy pants”
- Why we all want to put on our comfy pants
- And a choose-your-own grace-filled next step.
So if you just want to put on your comfy pants, not be bothered, and escape, listen in.
Key Quotes
- You do not have to live from a place of fear or striving or worry that you’re not doing enough or that God is disappointed in you. God is crazy about you, where you are, as you are.
- Relax knowing God holds all things together, including you.
- You’re a human, with limited capacity and finite time, doing the best job you can in extreme circumstances.
- God doesn’t expect anything of you; He only invites you into His presence.
- Put on your comfy pants and talk to Jesus.
