Episode 03: Navigating the Balance of Rest & Productivity
What if we told you life isn’t about how productive you are?
Sure we all want our lives to work towards something - to feel like we’re contributing to our families, our friends, our futures, the world - but as a society, we’ve gone WAY too far in the ditch of “you are what you produce.”
Think about it, how do we introduce ourselves? “Hi, I’m Christi. I’m a teacher.” or “I’m Sara, I’m a nurse.” While our careers, roles and responsibilities are mantles we should steward well, we don’t have enough strength to produce what this world will try and convince us we should be… especially when we look at what other people are doing.
Grab your bible and something pumpkin flavored… It’s fall and as our schedules start to fill up, let’s take a moment to remember how to find rest in the midst of the hustle. ☕
