Do you feel like you have a lopsided life? Good. You’re normal! Instead of constantly trying to “fix” our lives by achieving some perfect balance that doesn’t exist, let’s dump the guilt and admit that we need to lean into God. His perfect plan for us includes seasons of life when we may be more focused on caring for our children or our elderly parents, working for pay, or volunteering at church. Free to Lean gives you permission to recognize the season you're in and live in harmony with it.

From the Back Cover:

Work projects, family time, church activities, personal hobbies, fitness goals—there’s never enough time to squeeze it all in and give everyone and everything equal attention. But maybe achieving “balance” in life shouldn’t be the goal. Maybe the goal should be seeking God’s agenda and passionately doing the task He has for you right now.

Jocelyn Green feels the pressure—like most of us—to do everything well and still have time to relax with a latte at day’s end. But she has learned that a balanced life is overrated . . . and not even scriptural. God never asked us to “do it all.” He asks us to lean on Him. Then He provides the strength we need to accomplish what’s on His list for us.

Pull the plug on guilt and find peace in a life that leans. By focusing on what God has for this season of your life, you will discover the joy of a lopsided life.
