Series Title:
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.

Free 5-Day Bible Plan:

  • It’s called “Breaking Free from the Idol of Productivity”
    Each day is short, powerful, and Scripture-based—designed to help you walk in freedom and trust God again with your work.
  • GET YOUR FREE DEVOTIONAL

Take time to think about this, pray about it, and take one small step in obedience. Remember, divine interruptions aren’t just obstacles—they’re opportunities for God to do something amazing in your life.
