What If Activation Isn’t What You Think It Is
We’ve been told that “activation” means acceleration...that when God stirs something in us, it’s time to hustle harder, carry more, and prove we’re ready. But what if true Kingdom activation looks completely different?
In this episode, Angela Linville pulls back the curtain on her own story, from running a $300K business and burning out under the weight of performance, to rediscovering what it means to live aligned with God’s rhythms. She unpacks how activation flows through subtraction, not addition, and shares the three questions that now guide every new assignment.
This is a must-listen for anyone feeling stretched thin, called to more, or wrestling with what “doing enough” really means.
