362. The Grace Effect

So this is probably a great segue into this.

You went from grace over grind.

You worked it yourself.

Then you actually articulated it beautifully in a book.

So this is for business people, professionals.

Plenty more, but this is how do you walk this life out with God? I don't have my back pocket faith.

My faith informs everything I do.

And grace versus grind.

It's not grinding under grace.

It's literally grace over grind.

It's kingdom over everything is another quote that I

take off you.

So how would I know that I am not God? living from an operating system of grace, which Jesus said is mine to walk in.

Yeah.

So the fruit of that shows up in a lot of different ways, often an anxiety and fear about all the things related to business, right? Financial anxiety, anxiety around what the next thing is supposed to be, anxiety about how quickly things are moving or how it's not.

So it tends to show up in anxiety.

It tends to show up if your heart posture is, I'm going to do this because you're trying to prove someone wrong who said something you know, to you when you were five or something, you're still operating that I'm going to be super independent and make this happen.

Yes.

So if you find yourself constantly, constantly moving and you're literally trying to prove someone or something wrong, you know, that's, Typically it if you just can't seem to relax ever, you're just constantly on you.

If you have a feeling that, you know, the your customers, your clients are your source versus God from a financial perspective.

So you can't rest.

So depending on how things are moving is how high your stress levels are and all of those things.

And you can't find that posture of rest.

There's so many ways, Andy, that it shows up.

But right at the root of it is usually a sense of independence, which could be rooted like hyper independence, which often focuses on something that's either fear or pride.
