Faith alone doesn't move mountains—faith married to diligence does.
In his message, “Sloth Kills Callings,” Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell unpacks what it really means to battle laziness—not just in our work or routines, but also when it comes to our spiritual lives.
Drawing from Proverbs 6, Dr. Powell challenges us to “consider the ant”—a symbol of diligence and preparation—juxtaposing its work ethic to the dangers of procrastination and passivity. But this isn’t just a call to grind harder. Dr. Powell explores the importance of combining discipline and faith, reminding listeners that waiting on God is never meant to be passive, but an invitation to action, growth, and responsibility.
