Don't Waste the Chaos

How to Lead with Devotion & Discernment (Part 2)

In Part 2, Kerri moves from revelation to application. After realizing in Part 1 that devotion to people had begun to override devotion to God, this episode lays out a simple, repeatable rhythm for leading in alignment: Structure, Stewardship, and Spirit. You’ll hear how Kerri redesigned her days (and her boundaries) to create peace, stop over-functioning, and make decisions from listening instead of pressure. If you’ve been craving handles, this is the “how.”

What You’ll Learn

  • Why structure isn’t control—it’s clarity (and how order creates peace)
  • How to care without carrying: stewardship vs. self-sacrifice
  • A 60-second Devotion/Discernment Pause to filter every new yes
  • How to design a 5-hour workday rhythm that protects your calling
  • The dance of Flow & Form—letting Spirit fill the structure you set

Practices From the Episode (use this weekly)

1) The Weekly Structure Check

  • What person or project is tempting me to break my own structure?
  • What boundary keeps this holy?

2) The Stewardship Reframe

  • Have I equipped them?
  • Have I modeled integrity?
  • Have I prayed before acting?
  •  → If yes, release the outcome.

3) The Devotion/Discernment Pause (60 seconds)

  • Does this yes honor God or my image?
  • Will this yes require me to become someone I’m not?
  • What boundary keeps this yes holy?
  •  → If peace follows, move. If pressure follows, pause.

Morning Breath Prayer:

“Lord, let me serve through structure, stewardship, and Spirit today. Let every yes be holy and every no be peaceful.”

Reflection Prompt

Where do you need more form right now?

 Where do you need more flow?

Journal or pray through both—and choose one boundary you’ll honor this week.
