Note** This episode is a reshare from my other podcast, On the Job with God Christian Business Podcast
Hey friends! Today I’m diving into my personal testimony of engaging in hustle culture and why doing that is so toxic to what God calls us to do as Christians. I’m also sharing my history with hurry and why I’m now working hard with God to rid myself of this unpeaceful pace of life that I’ve been dealing with for decades.
In this episode I chat about:
Why I originally thought hustle COULD be holy and was harmless
How I knew God was leading me to bring back this podcast
What moment inspired me to change the name of this podcast
Why hustle and hurry prevent us from being godly people and obeying God
The difference between hustle and hurry
What two things made me finally experience breakthrough in greatly reducing hurry in my life
The benefits I’ve noticed of pursuing an unhurried life (think better periods!)
How hustle and hurry robbed me of living a joyful and abundant life (the kind of life John 10:10 talks about)
Why it’s okay to be imperfect in your journey to change bad habits and how Romans 8:1 can be a great comfort to you as you try to change your ways with work
How working fast and working with hurry are different
