MS 076 Alli Worthington: Trusting God, Making Decisions and Breaking Busy in our Lives

by Jacque Watkins

In Today’s episode I’m chatting with Alli Worthington, wife to Mark, mom to five sons, business owner and coach, entrepreneur, and the Executive director of Propel Women.

And she loves movies, Jesus, and using emojis!

Alli lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her family and is releasing her first book entitled Breaking Busy: How to Find Peace and Purpose in a World of Crazy.

In this episode…

Alli shares about her personal mud story including:

  • Her father’s death when she was a young child
  • Struggling with a learning disability
  • Multiple moves
  • Parenting five sons
  • And experiencing job loss, foreclosure, and bankruptcy

Alli and I talk about:

  • How God asked her to shut down her event company and conference (Blissdom)
  • The struggle and pain it was to obey
  • And the way God brought the hardship to a full redemption–more than she imagined

Alli also gives insight about:

  • How to hear God and steps in trusting God
  • Ways to edit our lives for our good
  • How to recognize we’re functioning at capacity
  • Common symptoms of being too busy
  • And practical tips to help us break the crazy-busy in our lives

Alli helps us identify the lies we believe and replace them with truth. She also encourages us to find the root of our busyness–dealing with our beliefs–in order to release our greatest creativity to the world.

After you listen, I’d be SO grateful if you’d take the time to SUBSCRIBE to this podcast over in iTunes on your computer, or on the purple podcast app on your Apple device.

SCRIPTURE:

Abide in me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine,
neither can you, unless you abide in me. 
 I am the vine; you are the branches.
Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:4-5 (ESV)
