  • Work-Life Balance Is Overrated: Integrating Family & Mission
    Jul 14 2025

    Stuart Amidon (Page 50 Marketing & Media) and Tom Chaldecott (Knox Thomas) say the quiet part out loud: “Work-life balance is garbage.” God designed us to labor six days, rest one, and fold our families into the mission. They swap detailed schedules, Sabbath traditions, and crisis stories that forged tighter bonds—and explain why “me-time” is a bad investment compared to purposeful, kingdom-minded work.

    Listen for:
    • Six-day rhythm & Lord’s Day reset
    • Bringing kids to the office without losing focus
    • Why trials (and triple bypasses) galvanize households
    • Turning every hour into a return on God’s talent
