Ep. 130: Busy, Productive, or Fruitful


Listen Later

Have you ever answered someone’s “How are you?” question with “Busy”? Today, we aim to define the difference between busyness and productivity and seek to honestly answer how much of that would change if our media/screen/entertainment time went down (or away completely).  The word of God tells us we are to “be careful how we live, not as unwise but wise, making use of every opportunity because the days are evil” (Eph 5:15-16). Therefore, our “careful” approach to living should involve scrutiny of where and how we spend our time.

This episode was a requested topic by a Youth Pastor who recognized all of the church’s families were becoming too “busy” for church.
