Making Room for Relationships

Margin: Making Room for What Matters Most 

Last week, we kicked off our two-part series titled “Margin: Making Room for What Matters Most.”

We define margin as "the space between your load and your limit." Your load encompasses the responsibilities and commitments you face daily, while your limits indicate where you might break under pressure. Without creating margin—a buffer or wiggle room—you risk reaching your breaking point. If you don’t establish healthy boundaries for rest, renewal, and what’s truly important, the world will impose its demands on you.

Our society is not designed for margin. The relentless "go-go-go" mindset, hustle culture, and consumeristic lifestyle leave little space for rest. Living so close to a bustling city like Austin can exacerbate this issue, often leading to exhaustion, dissatisfaction, and a sense of unfulfillment.

Many of us feel stretched thin, constantly tired, and yearning for moments to breathe and focus on what truly matters. In this environment, busyness often becomes the enemy of genuine connection.

In today’s episode, Pastor Dakota will dive deeper into the consequences of neglecting margin in our lives, particularly for relationships with believers followers, and the world. Join us as we uncover practical insights for creating the margin we need to thrive!
