207. Refuse to settle for less than God’s best with Julie Lefebure

About this episode

Kim Stewart and Julie Lefebure discuss the challenges of busyness and spiritual disconnection in the context of writing and launching a book.

Are you pouring everything out into writing or launching your book, and feeling depleted? Running on empty and telling yourself that's just part of the process? Join me for this convo with my sweet friend, Julie Lefebure, author of Made for More: 365 Devotions for the Woman Who Refuses to Settle . We talk about what the word "busy" is actually doing to us, and how spiritual disconnection and busyness feed each other. Plus Julie shares what five years of weekly podcasting has taught her about showing up with a message, reaching people you'd never reach any other way, and why you don't need a book yet to start.
