Why You Are Given More Than You Can Handle // Q&A

Episode 142: Every once in awhile, many of us have “one of those days” where it seems like nothing is going according to plan. You’re late to a party, dinner won’t be on time, the twins’ teacher wants you to come in for a teacher-parent conference, there’s finger paint on your white pants and coffee is dripping off the steering wheel of your new car. Other times, you aren’t dealing with a hundred little things going on…you’re dealing with one or two really big things. Your dad has cancer. You have cancer. Your pet dog just passed away. You’re in a massive amount of debt. Your child is depressed. Your mom has Alzheimer’s. You’re going through a divorce. Whatever the level of “drowning” you feel is going on in your life, I feel for you. I assume that at some point in your life, if not now, you’ve felt the sensation of carrying more weight on your shoulders than you can handle. In my own life, I’ve heard people tell me, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” Do you feel that way? Do you feel that you’ve been given the precise amount that you can handle? Chances are, you’re going to say no. And I don’t believe you’re saying no simply because you’re the person being directly affected by the trauma or chaos…I think you’re going to say no because it’s true: you were not given what you could handle. You were given more than you could handle. I don’t believe God gives us what we can handle. I believe we are given much more than what we, by ourselves, can handle; we are given an amount that only God can handle. ​In this podcast I'm going to give you 3 specific reasons why we are given more than we can handle, plus I'll give you a bonus Q&A portion where I'll answer some of your recent questions!
