189. Overwhelmed? 4 Simple Steps to Have a Weekly Meeting with God About Family, Health & Work

If God owns your home, your body, your work, and your calling… why do we try to manage it without meeting with Him?

In this episode of Simple Fitness Habits, we’re talking about a simple practice that has become one of the most stabilizing rhythms in my life: a weekly “meeting with God.”

This habit started years ago when someone casually mentioned they used to do staff meetings with Jesus, and something immediately clicked. If God truly owns everything I’m stewarding — my family, my health, my business, my ministry — then I’m not the CEO.

I’m the steward.

And stewards meet with the owner.

So each week I sit down with the Lord for what I call a “business meeting with God.” Sometimes we talk about business. Sometimes it’s about home, marriage, kids, or health. Sometimes it’s all of it.

This practice has become one of the biggest reasons I’ve been able to stay grounded — especially during a year filled with unexpected challenges, including walking through a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Instead of spiraling into research or trying to solve everything myself, this rhythm helps me slow down, seek God first, and ask one simple question:

“Lord, what do you want me to do next?”

In this episode, I walk through the four simple steps I use each week to bring my thoughts, decisions, worries, and responsibilities before the Lord so I can move forward with clarity instead of overwhelm.

Because sometimes what we need most isn’t more information.

Sometimes we simply need to sit with God and listen.
