265 - It is What You Make of It: A Conversation with Justin McRoberts
Show Notes

Ever heard that saying, “It is what it is?”  It’s often said in the context of something that we can’t change, something that feels too big for us to tackle.  My guest this week, Justin McRoberts, is determined to change this sentiment from “It is what it is” to “It is what you make of it.” 

In this episode of The Thriving Christian Artist podcast, Justin and I talk about how when we’re tempted to throw up our hands and say “It is what it is,” what we really need to do is to throw up our hands to the Lord and say, “I feel powerless.  I need help.” 

The truth is, God doesn’t care what we accomplish - He cares about who we are becoming in the process, in the shift to “It is what you make it.”  It’s the process, not the product, that really matters to Him.
