We’ve been told that if we’re not constantly grinding, we’re falling behind. Hustle culture glorifies overworking, but at what cost?

I used to think I was making sacrifices, but I was actually losing myself—neglecting my health, skipping meals, and putting everything before my well-being. Then I asked myself:

Is God punishing me for doing too much? Or am I making work an idol?

On the first episode of Maven Talk, we’re breaking down:

• How hustle culture is rooted in fear and lack
• What the Bible actually says about rest
• Why burnout isn’t a badge of honor
• How to shift from hustle to healthy productivity

Even God rested. Even Jesus wasn’t in a rush.
So why do we act like our work is more important than His?
