How many of us are consumed with the need to be productive every day? And what does productivity really mean? Trish Donohue is the author of You Are Welcomed: Devotions For When Life is a Lot, and she is the women’s ministry director at Covenant Fellowship Church. She says her book was inspired by the commonalities she encounters while ministering to women and going through challenges herself. She talks about how our culture is consumed with the idol of productivity. How can a Christian woman do all she needs to do with true joy in her heart? “We’re not enough, but Christ is!” she shares. In Him, we find completion and rest. Her book is a welcome and refreshing compass back to clarity, calm, and restoration with the Lord.
