What if saying “yes” to everything is actually costing you what matters most? In today’s episode, we’re talking about sacred non-negotiables — those holy, grounding rhythms that anchor your soul when life tries to uproot you. From morning silence to family dinners, these aren’t just fun ideas. They are prophetic boundaries protecting the life you were made for.

With Matthew 6:33 as our compass (“Seek first the kingdom…”), we’ll dismantle the belief that we can have competing priorities and reclaim the wisdom of guarding your heart like the life-giving well it’s meant to be. This isn’t about building walls — it’s about saying “yes” time and time again to what restores you and points you in the right direction.

Ready to name what’s non-negotiable in your life? Let’s dive in!

Today’s Reflection Questions:

Think back to a time when life felt really grounded, spacious, Spirit-led.

• What was present in that season?
• Were there rhythms in your life that restored you?
• Were there boundaries in place that helped you?
• Was there an absence of distractions in that season?

Here’s a link to Greg McKeown’s bestselling book, Essentialism.
