Breaking Free from the Idol of Productivity - From Hustle to Holy – Surrendering Your Work to God

Episode Title:

From Checking Boxes to Hearing God – Walking in Daily Obedience

You can do all the right spiritual things—read, pray, show up—but still feel disconnected. In this episode, we expose the trap of performance Christianity and rediscover the voice of our Shepherd. Jesus didn’t die for your checklist—He died for your heart. If you’ve been running on religious autopilot, it’s time to pause and tune into His presence. Learn how to stop striving and start hearing.

Episodes:

  • 4.2 -   When Productivity Becomes an Idol – Redefining Success in God’s Eyes
  • 4.11 - The Lie of Self-Sufficiency – Learning to Trust God with Your Time
  • 4.18 - Sabbath & Surrender – Why Rest is a Weapon Against Overwork
  • 4.25 - From Checking Boxes to Hearing God – Walking in Daily Obedience

Key Verse:

  • My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” – John 10:27

You’ll walk away with:

  • Still feel like something’s missing?
    • Reading your Bible
    • Praying daily
    • Going to church
  • Maybe it’s not about doing more. Maybe it’s about hearing more.

Challenge Statement:

  • Are you listening for God’s voice, or just checking spiritual boxes?”
    Today, take 10 minutes and do nothing but listen.
    No agenda. No rush. Just invite Him to speak.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
