Today on Summit Life, a strong warning from Pastor JD Greer.

There are a few things in your life that are as damaging and as potentially so destroying

as busyness, and the real tragedy is you never see it coming.

It's busyness that will destroy your joy, cripple your capacity to love,

and it is busyness which will cause you to lose your ability to even hear from God.

Welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor, author, and theologian JD Greer.

I'm your host, Molly Vitavitch, and we're thankful to be jumping into God's word with you again.

Today we're talking about a topic that's probably going to resonate with just about everyone.

Busyness. Whether you're juggling high school, AP classes and friends, whether you're a young

parent trying to keep up with all of the household demands, or an employee trying to find the

work-life balance, we all find ourselves wishing there were more hours in the day.

And frankly, there's lots of good things to be doing, but is that always best?

Pastor JD reminds us today why it's so important to make space in our calendars for God to work in

us too. It's part of our teaching series titled God and the Rest of the Week.

And if you missed any of the previous messages, you can get caught up at JD Greer.com.

Today's message is titled a Soul Destroying Busyness.

I want to talk about a problem that most all of us have, but one that you have probably

never heard a sermon on before, and that is the problem of busyness.

And the reason that you have never heard a sermon on it before is that I am your pastor.

I will tell you right up front, I am not self-righteous about this.

I would say that if there is, we had to single out five people in this church that needed

this council, I would be at the top of that list. So please hear that with that acknowledgement.
