Breaking Barriers | Katelyn Lloyd {S8 E8}
On this season of the podcast, we’ve been investigating what can keep us from the Word of God. Today, Bethany sits down with Katelyn Lloyd to discuss the barriers she encounters in her current season of life as a new work-from-home mom. Katelyn opens up about the struggles she has with time and comparison when trying to sit down with her Bible. Katelyn discusses the Lord’s faithfulness and character, which transcend all seasons of life. We hope their conversation encourages you to not fall into comparison or guilt, but to delight in the Living Word.
““Stick to the character of God versus the character of other moms, small business owners, wives, you name it. I’m not comparing myself them, but rather reflecting on who God is and why I want to be like Him.””
Katelyn wants to live in a world where, at red traffic lights, everyone has to get out and dance to whatever song is coming through their speakers. When she’s not being a mom to Liam, you can find her knee deep in crafts, head buried in a book, or cozied up on the couch with her golden retriever, Moose!
Her favorite scripture at the moment is actually the inspiration behind her side “creative business,” Abundant Life Co.: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
