In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes breaks down Proverbs 31:5 about rulers forgetting justice when they drink and challenges listeners to take alcohol out of the verse and put something else in. What's YOUR drink? What consumes you and causes you to forget the needs of those depending on you for leadership? Eileen gets honest about her own "drink" during the NFL wife years when shopping addiction consumed her attention while her kids were neglected in front of screens. She challenges moms to examine what impairs their judgment: scrolling social media, bitterness over a fight with your spouse, unforgiveness that makes you mentally absent, work obsession, or the "I'm not good enough" mindset that keeps you from making impact. Eileen identifies the three ways the enemy works in this area: distraction, discouragement, and deterrence, explaining how each one pulls you away from leading those who need you. She shares how waking at 4 AM to fold laundry while worshiping and praying allows her to be available when her family needs her, and offers Isaiah 26:3 as the antidote: keeping your mind fixed on God produces perfect peace that eliminates the need for numbing, distraction, or consumption.

Discover what's impairing your leadership and how fixing your eyes on God keeps you present for those who depend on you.
