In this Season 2 premiere of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes shares her unexpected three-month journey when God called her to completely surrender her work dreams and focus solely on family during summer vacation. What started as a simple garage cleaning project became a divine masterclass in spiritual and physical transformation that changed everything. After moving her family of eight from Wisconsin to California and living in chaos for three years, Eileen discovered that God's command to "clean house" wasn't just about organization - it was about creating space for His blessings. She reveals the specific order God led her through, from tackling neglected spaces to dealing with financial audits, and how each step mirrored the healing work He was doing in her heart. Eileen explains why God won't give you more than you can handle and how getting your house in order - both literally and spiritually - becomes the foundation for everything else He wants to do in your life. This episode will inspire you to see cleaning and organizing as acts of worship that prepare you for greater purpose.

Learn how surrendering your agenda creates space for God's agenda and why healing always leads to freedom.
