The War - Understanding the forces that hold you back

  • サマリー

  • In this episode of Holy Work with Luke LeFevre, Luke shares a personal and transformative journey into understanding and overcoming the forces that hold us back when following God’s pull in our lives. Through raw stories and practical insights, he unpacks the concept of "The War"—a spiritual and emotional battle we face when pursuing meaningful work and transformation.

    Key Takeaways: "Overcoming Resistance and Embracing the Pull"

    • The Power of Reset: Sometimes, life's interruptions are God's way of inviting us to pause and recalibrate. Slowing down can help us reconnect with what truly matters.
    • Understanding the War: When you follow God’s pull toward meaningful work, you’ll encounter fear, negative voices, and resistance. These are signs that you’re on the right path, but they must be confronted.
    • Facing Fear: Fear of looking foolish, uncertainty, and loss of control are universal struggles. Choosing courage in the face of these fears leads to growth and transformation.
    • Recognizing Voices: The internal voices that doubt your ability or question your purpose are often rooted in past experiences. Acknowledging and reframing these voices can free you to move forward.
    • Battling Resistance: Resistance shows up as procrastination, distraction, or avoidance. By naming it and continuing to take small steps, you can overcome its power.
    • God Uses Our Failures: Even when we “lose the war,” God can use those moments to shape us, teach us, and guide us to new opportunities.
    • Journaling as a Tool for Clarity: Writing down your fears, thoughts, and resistance is a powerful way to process emotions, listen for God’s guidance, and overcome obstacles.
    • Advent is a Time to Slow Down: The season invites us to reflect on God’s presence and prioritize what matters most, making space for joy and connection in the midst of busyness.

    Notable Quotes:
    • "Resistance is proof that you're headed in the right direction."
    • "Fear of looking stupid, uncertainty, and loss of control keep billions of people stuck where they are."
    • "God uses even our losses in the war to create new wins and move us forward."
