Living with Margin
Today, people are working harder, sleeping less, and taking less time to be with the people they love.
More importantly... they're taking less time to work on themselves.
Maybe you're one of those people. Maybe sometimes it feels like you just can't stop, even though you know you need to slow down and catch your breath.
The trick is to learn to live with margin.
That's what this four-part series by Pastor Rick Warren is all about.
You and your members will learn what it means to live with margin and discover the amazing benefits that come from it. Find out how living with margin will give you a healthier, more balanced life—as well as make you available to be used and blessed by God—today!
