You can’t live the abundant life if you’re living an overextended life. Does that statement resonate with you? If so, Dr. Greg Bourgond will help you find margin in your life in healthy ways. He’ll encourage you to eliminate dysfunctional activities that rob you of your time and impair your physical health, and recognize that your job is not your identity.

Dr. Bourgond will help you develop a personal appraisal framework – figuring out, in his words, what hills to die on, which ones to bleed on and which hills to not climb at all. He’ll also help you figure out what exactly to eliminate in your life to create more margin.

Key Verse:
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
James 4: 13-17
