Why Hustle Culture Is Hurting Your Podcast (And What to Do Instead)

Hey friend!

Feeling like you’re constantly behind in your podcasting journey? Like you should be doing more—more episodes, more posts, more everything? Same. But what if I told you hustle culture isn’t biblical… and it’s definitely not sustainable.

In this episode of Christian Podcasting Secrets, I’m getting real about the pressure to perform and sharing how to build a healthy, faith-led rhythm in your podcasting life.

We’ll chat about letting go of hustle, trusting God’s pace (even when it’s slow), and finding freedom in doing less with more purpose.

3 Actionable Takeaways:

1. Schedule rest first. Sabbath isn’t optional—it’s life-giving and helps you realign with God.
2. Simplify your workflow. Focus on what brings you energy, not what drains it.
3. Stop chasing “more.” Celebrate progress and trust that faithfulness matters more than metrics.

Pro Tip:
Slow growth ≠ failure. God may be building something deeper in you before He builds something bigger.
