Aligning Life Priorities with Faith: Insights from Heidi Mortenson

When you're putting God first, he's going to show you what's needed and he's going to say, 'I need you to go on a date with your child, take your child to get a hot chocolate, and then I want you to actually get that massage on when they're at school,' you know, or something like that, like He hits the peace that surpasses all understanding is going to be on this, is going to be on this order as you're moving through this.
Ever feel like you're running on empty, giving your all to everyone but yourself? In this episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', Heidi Mortenson, a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, dives into the art of realigning life priorities with God at the center. Heidi breaks down the common misconception that self-sacrifice is always virtuous, explaining how neglecting self-care can leave us drained and ineffective.
She shares her go-to practice for clients: a hierarchy of priorities that starts with God, then moves to self, spouse, children, extended family, friends, and work. Heidi uses Matthew 6:33 to illustrate her point: 'But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you'. This episode offers practical tips on how to put God first in various aspects of life—from marriage and parenting to daily routines.
Heidi also tackles the guilt many feel when prioritizing themselves and provides advice on overcoming it. If you're looking for a faith-based approach to balancing your life and finding freedom and healing, this episode is a must-listen.
