Description

This week’s episode feels more like an unfolding than a plan. After a recent session with her coach and intuitive mentor, Kerri shares a revelation that stopped her in her tracks:

Sometimes our devotion to people and outcomes quietly replaces our devotion to God.

In this deeply personal conversation, Kerri explores how her vow of devotion - once her greatest strength - began to cloud her discernment in leadership, business, and life. She unpacks what it looks like to realign that loyalty upward, reframing HR as Holy Resourcing: leading through structure, stewardship, and Spirit.

 

If you’ve ever wrestled with overcommitting, people-pleasing, or carrying more than your share in the name of professionalism or faithfulness, this episode will meet you right where you are.

In This Episode

  • The moment Kerri realized her devotion to people had replaced her devotion to God
  • Why “doing the right thing” can sometimes become self-abandonment
  • How to recognize when loyalty turns into depletion
  • What Holy Resourcing (HR) really means - structure, stewardship, and Spirit
  • Reintegrating faith and work without turning your business into a ministry
  • The difference between being scaffolding for others vs. being a steady light beside them
  • Reflection: Where is your devotion guiding you, and where might it be blinding you?

Reflection Prompt

Take a few minutes this week to ask yourself:

  1. Where is my devotion guiding me closer to alignment?
  2. Where might it be blinding me to what God is actually asking of me?
