Episode Description from the Publisher

Is your calendar filling up again? A full life isn't necessarily the problem—but a hurried heart can quietly steal our peace, our connection with God, and our connection with the people we love. In this episode of Building Better Marriages, Dr. Deborah shares how to enter a busy season without allowing hurry to take over. Using Jesus' example in Luke 5:16, we'll look at the importance of stepping away from the noise, seeking God's direction, and allowing Him to set the pace. You'll discover the difference between being busy and hurried, why you should “Before You Add, Ask,” and how one simple daily anchor can help keep your heart centered on Christ. You'll also receive a practical marriage check-in question to help you and your spouse stay connected when schedules become full. Your calendar may be busy, but your heart can still be peaceful. A full life can still have a peaceful heart when Jesus sets the pace. Subscribe to Building Better Marriages: the “I do” and “I don't” of everyday life and share this episode with someone who could use a little more peace in this busy season.
