You Can’t Do Everything. So What Should You Do?

You Can’t Do Everything. So What Should You Do?

Author: Grace Church August 30, 2026 Duration: 38:41

We’ve talked about putting the big rocks first—the things that matter most in life. But once those priorities are in place, there’s another question we have to ask:

What are the medium rocks that need our time and attention in this season?

Wisdom isn’t just knowing what matters. Wisdom is knowing what matters right now.

Every season of life brings different responsibilities, relationships, and opportunities that need our attention. Maybe it’s managing your finances, taking care of your health, going to school, starting a business, raising young kids, caring for a parent, building friendships, or finding Christian community.

These things may not be the ultimate priorities of our lives, but they still matter—and stewarding them faithfully is part of following Jesus.

In this message, we’ll look at three kinds of “medium rocks”:
• Life stewardship — faithfully caring for the responsibilities God has given you.
• Relationship stewardship — intentionally investing in the people God has placed in your life.
• Stabilizing rocks — practices and community that help keep the big rocks in place.

The goal isn’t to do everything. The goal is to recognize what God is asking you to give your time and attention to right now.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1

Am I making room for the rocks that need to be in my life right now?
