Living and Working at

The Pace of Grace

You matter. Your work matters. A lot.

God gave you talents and gifts, planted dreams deep in your heart, and then placed you in this pivotal moment in history to make an impact for Him.

You want to serve God. Make a difference. Be all God has called you to be. 

It’s exciting. Exhilarating. And, it can be exhausting as well.

No matter how enthusiastically you begin, it doesn’t take long before you are…

  • Overwhelmed by all the things there are to do
  • Depleted by people’s endless demands
  • Discouraged, with no time for relaxation & fun
  • Distracted, drained, and feeling increasingly disconnected from God

With more meetings to attend, more emails to answer, and more people to help, rest, relationships, and joy keep getting put off until everything is done.

There’s only one problem, the things are never all done. 

It’s Taking a Toll

Life in business & ministry offers incredible opportunities to pursue our passion and make an impact.

But there’s a downside.

It can also mean you work longer hours, wear numerous hats, face higher expectations, and experience more disappointments than almost anyone else.

One look at the numbers, and we know it’s taking a toll.

 

  • Entrepreneurs are twice as likely to suffer from depression compared to the general population
  • 90% of pastors feel fatigued and worn out every week
  • 77% of American employees reported at least one instance of burnout in 2021

It Shouldn’t Have to Be This Hard

Hi, I’m Kim Avery and I help entrepreneurs, ministry and marketplace leaders fully partner with God in the messiness of everyday work and life so they can flourish from the inside-out.

And yes, I know this is MUCH easier said than done. 

As an entrepreneur, coach, author, wife, mother, friend, and more, I’ve tried all the tricks and tips to make “life & business work.”

  • Purchased countless quick fix courses
  • Read the books
  • Watched the videos
  • Added the productivity apps
  • Tried harder
  • Worked smarter
  • Attempted “self-care”
  • and so much more

But as you’ve probably discovered by now, true flourishing can only come when we align every area of our heart and lives with God.

I have seen God subdue fear, worry, and panic and replace it with faith, vision, and boldness to step out valiantly. God is truly faithful to take our businesses to places it would never go without him.

Pace of Grace Podcast

A seasonal podcast to help you embrace living and working at the pace of grace.

When you look into Kim’s brilliant blue eyes in your computer monitor, when you hear her compassionate voice and words of wisdom over Zoom, it is as if you are having an encounter with Someone greater than Kim working through Kim.

Kim is beyond generous; she models what she teaches, and her personality invites everyone in. The forward movement I’ve made coaching with Kim has been invaluable. I still have some of the acknowledgments she shared with me written on post-it notes on my computer monitor!

Don’t miss your opportunity to become all that God desires you to be. Believe and step forth in this decision! I received something greater than what money could pay for. The value immensely exceeded the cost!!”

Kim is lively with a very infectious enthusiasm; over and beyond generous with the content. She, in every sense, takes you by the hand and walks with you, then releases you to run with the tools the program gives, whilst sitting in the bleachers, cheering you on. Her unstoppable ‘can do it scared’ outlook to life and business inspires you to keep moving forward, at your pace (persistent), in partnership with your CEO and Sender, Almighty God.
