Do you ever feel like you’re running hard in ministry but still falling behind? Missionary life can be an endless swirl of urgent needs, unfinished to-do lists, and pressure to prove your worth through results.

In this episode, Amy Young of Global Trellis helps unpack the hidden productivity trap that drains your energy—and the surprising shift that frees you to focus on what truly matters.

Discover how to spot “fake wins,” embrace slow productivity, and protect your calling from burnout so you can finish well in the work God’s given you.

 

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The subtle signs you’re stuck in a productivity trap without realizing it
• How to tell the difference between urgent and truly important work in missions
• Why pseudo productivity can leave you drained but not effective
• Practical ways to slow down without losing momentum in your ministry
• How to align your daily actions with your long-term calling
