So what is it that we're going to choose to magnify? So I think that's just a really great reminder to take away from this conversation, too, of you are waking up today made to magnify. What is it that you're going to choose to magnify? Okay, you talk about the cycle of self, and I definitely want to make sure that we talk about that. What is that, and how does it quietly keep us stuck in comparison or striving or burnout? And how do we get out of it?
It's interesting as you're saying these three pieces that are part of the cycle of self. It just makes me think about just like the social media world today where I think it is praised and awarded to be confident, to put all of those pieces aside and put yourself out there and –
I don't know. It is kind of an interesting thing that I think behind all of that, there is a real cycle of self happening. And it's the opposite of that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why I think, you know, going back to this idea that small things in our life can magnify Jesus in a big way.
big difference to the world around us and also in our hearts, you know, they change us daily when we're willing to make those small changes. As you're saying that, I'm just thinking practically the idea of self-care. We talk about, you know, showing up in small ways can make really big impact. So I don't know, what is your take on how can we magnify God in like self-care, but do it differently? Yeah. Yeah.
It's almost like a check-in. It's a check-in mentally. It's a check-in financially. I think like you mentioned earlier, we're naturally going to just drift. We're not even going to think twice about a lot of the things that we do or say, but it is that pause to maybe ask ourselves a question, ask our spouse the question to help keep us accountable. I love the example that you shared. It's very practical. I think people can relate to that.
whether or not they choose to go get their nails done. I think they can relate to that example. But even just going up there, like how do you show up there differently? How do you show up there differently? And are you engaging with people? Are you loving on people there? Are you asking the Holy Spirit, hey, is there somebody here I need to pray for, pray with? How can I be a light or a blessing in a place that
recenter us or sharpen us more than entering into that place. And also I just love that his mercies are new every single morning. Thank God. I need those mercies. Yes. Yes. I'm grateful for that too. It's a mom too. I'm constantly reminding my kids. It's like, it is a fresh day. Like I have to remind them that what they did yesterday, what I did yesterday, it's a fresh start. It's a clean slate. How do we choose to spend that clean slate? That is like such a gift that we forget.
Okay. As you wrote your book, Made to Magnify, what part of that journey was the most encouraging just for you personally that maybe we can take away from that experience vicariously? Yeah. The most encouraging part of writing the book – well, the Lord –
It's a great reminder. I think we have to go back and remember his faithfulness to go forward. And that example that you just shared is just such a beautiful example of back to that cycle of self. You talked about, I had a doubt and I took it to the Lord. And I feel like if you hadn't have done that, you would have been in that fear going all the way through the vicious cycle. It's like taking that, jumping out of the cycle.
of that cycle and straight to taking it to God. And if not, like you will ride that cycle over and over and over until you can interject it. And so I love that example that you shared for the woman who is listening, who just feels maybe she's recognizing herself in the conversation and any area of what we've talked about today. What is the first honest step you would encourage her with?
Oh, that's so good. And as I just think about, you know, we're living also not just in the me focused culture, but we're living in a loneliness epidemic. But yet we don't invite people in and we don't lean into other people's lives. And so I love that you added kind of that step two piece of it. We are made for people. We are made for community and to be the picture of the church, the body. We need it. We need it. It takes a village. It takes a village. Yeah.
It takes a village. Well, this has been really encouraging and just almost like a reset. I'm just thinking like spring, summer reset of, you know, where am I prioritizing my efforts and my energy and also that longing deep inside for more. Revisiting what that more actually is.
I always end my conversations with guests on talking about success. And so I would love to hear what does success look like to you as we've talked about all of this looking different than the world's definition of more? Yeah. So how would you define success in this season or just in your own personal professional pursuits?
Well, thank you. Thank you, Morgan, for joining us. Thank you for these beautiful words and for just sharing the reminder of what this life is all about with us today. Thanks, Monica. Thanks for having me. What an encouraging conversation with Morgan. I'm going to leave you with a few truths and takeaways. Number one, you're made to magnify. The question is, what will you magnify?
The fact that every one of us is already magnifying something, whether it's our image, our anxiety, our striving, or maybe it is the name of Jesus. This isn't about doing more. It's just about getting the order right. When we put our eyes on him first, everything else flows from a place of peace instead of a place of pressure. Number two, the cycle of self is real, and there is a way out. That pride and fear and doubt, those three things that quietly keep us stuck in that cycle.
The breakthrough doesn't come from managing them on our own, but rather bringing them to God instead of away from him and trying to put those things under our control. And lastly, in a world that's telling us self-care and self-focus are the antidote, Morgan helps us flip that script. Thinking of ourselves less, not thinking less of ourselves is actually where the freedom lives. So God is not asking us to forsake ourselves, but rather we are being invited into something so much bigger.
I hope this conversation encouraged you. Would love for you to take a few quick seconds to write a review, share this with a friend. And if you have not already, don't forget to subscribe to the newsletter. Thanks for tuning in and until next time.
