Hustle culture tells us that the answer to burnout is better productivity — tighter systems, longer hours, and more discipline.

But Scripture tells a different story.

In this Faith + Focus episode, we explore the difference between toxic, world-based productivity and fruitful productivity rooted in obedience, preparation, and rest. You’ll hear why productivity alone was never the biblical goal — and how fruitfulness changes the way we approach our work, our schedules, and our sense of worth.

We look at:

• Why hustle culture feels productive but leaves us exhausted

• What Scripture actually emphasizes instead of constant output

• How preparation and rest are woven into God’s design for work

• Why validation was never meant to come from accomplishments

• What it looks like to pursue fruitfulness without striving

If you’re a Christian business owner, creative, or working woman who wants to honor God and care for your energy, this episode offers a grounded, practical reframe — not guilt, not hustle, and not a checklist.

Make sure you come back each Friday for practical steps you can take to start keeping the Sabbath as a Christian Business Owner.

In this month's episode on Proverbs, we discuss the importance of prayer for my business. This reflection aims to help Christian business owners understand how to make prayerful decisions that lead to business success. By integrating faith and wisdom into daily routines, you can gain clarity and align with God's plan for your christianity business.

We all have that task (or tasks) in our business that we keep putting off. This week’s Quick Focus is all about getting it done. Proverbs 31 teaches us that self-discipline is a key quality of the Proverbs 31 Woman, and we already know how important it is as a business owner. So this week, it’s time to finally check that off of your to-do list.
