One thing I loved about my conversation with Kelly Kapic was his honesty about how easy it is to pretend that we are not creatures designed for lives of love—and how beautiful it is to imagine admitting our limits and depending on God and one another more fully. amyjuliabecker.com/kelly-kapic-...
You Were Never Meant to Do It All - Amy Julia Becker
Author Kelly Kapic reimagines the “good life” and why love, limits, and interdependence matter more than achievement or self-reliance.
