How should a pastor think about time when just being "more efficient" isn't enough? On this episode of The Shepherding Time podcast, hosts Rush Witt and Joe Keller sit down with Reagan Rose — the Bible teacher behind Redeeming Productivity — to talk pastoral time management from a biblical, stewardship-first perspective.

Reagan shares how a seminary classroom full of overwhelmed future pastors first pushed him to write about time management, then walks through two of the highest-leverage habits in his own life: a fifteen-year morning routine built around a simple acronym (POWER: Prayer, Organize, Word, Exercise, Reading) and a growing conviction about Sabbath rest as a spiritual discipline that makes the rest of the week more productive, not less. The conversation turns to a framework Reagan's been developing for pastors who feel the pull to always do more: four kinds of time — Goal time, Grow time, Grit time, and Gift time — and why most time management advice only ever addresses one of them.

If you lead a church, plant a church, or shepherd people day to day, this episode will give you real categories for stewarding your whole life, not just your calendar.
