Summary

Ever felt like life is stuck on pause? Idleness can silently kill purpose, and today, we’re exploring how to live with intention. Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Tim Smith discuss the dangers of the sin of sloth, its link to mental health struggles, and the biblical call to work. They also explore the role of stay-at-home dads and how living mission-driven leads to fulfillment. Through King David’s downfall, they highlight the power of meaningful work and how to break free from stagnation. As we consider how to align our lives with God’s design, we also ask: How do we balance leisure and recreation? Can Christians play video games without falling into idleness? This conversation will challenge and encourage you to step into your calling and discover the life God has planned for you. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update! 👇 DON’T MISS OUT!
