Malinda Fuller is a bold communicator who is passionate about thriving families and helping people grow as disciples of Jesus.

She is the author of Obedience Over Hustle: The Surrender of the Striving Heart and has become a trusted voice on the topics of obedience, hustle and living an intentional life.
IF YOUR PLATE IS WAY TOO FULL RIGHT NOW, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.
At the beginning of a new year it’s hard to miss the hustle all around us. We’re gonna set all the goals, do all the things, and change the world THIS YEAR! I put way too much pressure on myself already, so I’m totally triggered by those messages. That’s why I thought it was so important to get Malinda on the show right at the beginning of Season Seven, to give us an alternate perspective.
Early on, her book title Obedience Over Hustle received a lot of pushback from book agents. But she stuck to her guns, believing this is the message God gave her to share. And thank goodness she did!
Malinda is here to teach us what obedience over hustle looks like -- just in case you’re wondering. You’ll learn the importance of doing just a few things really well. She shares how this idea has shaped her life and something specific she was asking God for when He began to impress upon her the need for a shift in her priorities.
If you’ve struggled with getting in the way of your own dream, you’ll hear what the Lord showed Malinda about this struggle in her own life and how her perspective has changed as a result.
And while this may be the hardest part, you’ll glean encouragement to investigate the position of your heart in the conversation of obedience over hustle. It’s enough to make me examine my own motivations and ask myself: Why do I want to hustle and how I might give that over to the Lord?
