Can you be grateful for what you have and still want more?

Absolutely.

Sometimes we have been taught to believe that wanting more means we are ungrateful, greedy, or dissatisfied with what God has already given us. So instead of being honest about what we desire, we shrink the vision, lower the goal, and tell ourselves we should simply be thankful.

But gratitude and desire can exist in the same heart.

In Chapter Eight of the Permission Granted series, we’re talking about what it means to desire growth without allowing comparison, insecurity, or the constant pursuit of “more” to control us.

We’ll explore the difference between contentment and complacency, why understanding the motive behind your desires matters, and an important question we often forget to ask: If I receive more, am I prepared to steward more?

We’ll also challenge the assumption that bigger is always better. Sometimes you don’t need more clients; you need better clients. You may not need more followers; you may need a deeper connection with the audience you already have. Sometimes the answer isn’t more at all. It may be better, different, or even less.

This episode will help you define what your more actually means, understand why you want it, and identify what greater stewardship may require from you.

You can appreciate where you are while having a vision for where you want to go.

You can be content and still grow.

You can be grateful and still say, “I want more.”
