His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ Matthew 25:23
At first glance, productivity can seem a subject more suited for business-people than for Christians. But God’s Word, specifically Jesus’ parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 , is clear that God expects His followers to use and grow the resources and opportunities He gives—whether finances, skills, time—to advance His kingdom. God calls us to be productive.
But how? In an age when we are bombarded with information, distractions, and options, how do we manage family, work, projects, tasks, events, church, etc., prioritizing and pursuing what’s important over merely what’s urgent?
Tim Challies, noted blogger, pastor, and author of Do More Better: A Practical Guide to Productivity, joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to talk about how to be productive for God’s glory and others’ good.
