175. Small Talk and Changing Seasons with The Adkins
How is your summer going?
While we often anticipate summer to be a little more slow-paced, sometimes it's just the opposite. There is always something to do, whether it's spending time with friends or going to events - it's easy to get wrapped up in saying 'yes' to so many things that we get overwhelmed.
In our episode today, we're sharing about what's been going on with us and how we're learning to be more intentional in our approach to different situations. We'll talk about how our environment, the people we surround ourselves with, and the way we take care (or don't take care) of our bodies affects our mental state. Balancing work and our physical & mental health isn't an easy task, but we share our views on the challenges and the rewarding payoffs.
As we journey towards fulfilling our God-given purpose, we confront discouragement and spiritual warfare. We offer strategies for combating these feelings and staying encouraged. Alongside this, we also share our experiences with the foster care system, and the impact opening our home has had in our lives. So, join us on this journey as we share our trials, triumphs, and everything in between.
