Your work is making a difference and changing lives, but you’re in the messy middle between it’s working…and it’s no longer sustainable. This is the Pivotal Growth Point. To scale or sustain what you’ve built requires a different way of working—one that begins with how you’re holding it all.

Saint Martha is an example of spiritual growth and maturity in the Gospels. She is only mentioned by Saint Luke and Saint John as the woman who was upset with her sister, Mary, who sat at Jesus’ feet while she prepared the food (Luke 10:38-42) and the woman who proclaimed that if Jesus had been there, her brother Lazarus would not have died (John 11:20-27). She also plays a role as the server at the supper for Jesus where Mary anointed his feet (John 12:2).

As we head into summer, it’s a great time to reevaluate your budget and your lifestyle. Take some time to look at your goals and resolutions from the new year and see how well you are sticking with them.
