Are You Worshiping the To-Do List?

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
