Back to EpisodesAre You Busy or Being Faithful? | Finding God's Purpose Beyond Your To-Do List
Description
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself whether you're simply staying busy or truly being faithful to what God has called you to do?
As women, we wear so many hats—mother, wife, professional, caregiver, leader, and friend. But somewhere between managing responsibilities and meeting expectations, we can lose sight of a deeper question: Are we using the gifts, talents, and opportunities God has entrusted to us for His purpose?
On this episode of Unblocking Your Purpose, Jada Hartfield shares a personal conversation with her brother that challenged her to examine whether she's approaching her podcast and platforms as a ministry of discipleship.
Through the biblical story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38–42, we explore the difference between being busy and being faithful, the importance of spiritual discernment, and how to create space for God's direction.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why being busy doesn't always mean you're walking in your God-given purpose.
- How to recognize when good things are distracting you from what matters most.
- Why your gifts and talents are meant to serve a purpose beyond yourself.
- How boundaries can help you become more intentional with your time and calling.
- Why growing in your relationship with Christ can create opportunities to disciple and encourage others.
Scripture References:
- Luke 10:38–42 — Mary and Martha
- Ephesians 2:10 — Created for good works
- 2 Timothy 2:2 — The multiplication of discipleship
Your Reflection Challenge:
Spend 15 intentional minutes with God this week. Ask Him: "Am I simply filling my days, or am I faithfully using what You've entrusted to me?"
Remember, your purpose doesn't end with you. God can use your growth, experiences, and gifts to impact someone else's life.
