Thinking Out Loud

The Hidden Cost of Efficiency


Listen Later

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, we explore the rising cultural obsession with efficiency and its spiritual and relational costs. From AI-generated sermon illustrations to time-saving hacks like slip-on shoes and 1.5x video speeds, we ask: is this pursuit of productivity actually helping us live well—or slowly reshaping our souls? As Christians called to seek first the Kingdom of God, how do we discern what should be optimized and what should remain intentionally inefficient, sacred, and human? Join us for a thought-provoking theological conversation on rest, relationships, and resisting the lie that faster is always better. If you’re a believer wrestling with how to live faithfully in a high-speed digital age, this discussion is for you.
