In this episode of The Encourager Podcast, I share a vulnerable story about a Monday when I got everything done—but missed one of the most important moments of my week. That moment led to a heart shift: from serving efficiency as a god, to seeing it as a tool that should support (not replace) my values and mission. This episode invites you to pause, reflect, and realign how you approach productivity—through the lens of intentionality, connection, and grace. 💡 In This Episode, I Share: The phrase that changed how I view my time: Efficiency is king, but it’s a terrible god A personal story of missing a bedtime moment—and what it taught me about priorities How efficiency can quietly become an idol in our homes and schedules What it looks like to choose presence over productivity in the 5 systems: Me, Food, Home, Work, and Family 3 questions to help you reclaim connection and peace 📥 Free Resource: Download the Mini Journal: Efficiency vs. Intentionality and reflect on where you can shift from hustle to holy: 👉 Grab the free journal here ✨ Reminder: Efficiency should support your values—not define them.
