Episode 212: Workaholics

from Positive Charge with David Shivers Hosted by David Shivers

Are you wearing yourself out to build a life you’re too busy to enjoy? 💼 🕰️ In this episode, we dive into the painful reality of workaholism and the heavy price families pay when work takes priority over presence. Using the haunting lyrics of Harry Chapin’s classic song, "Cat’s in the Cradle," we look at how easily the pursuit of providing can turn into the tragedy of absence. Scripture gives us clear boundaries for our ambition. Proverbs 23:4 warns us: “Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.” If you have ever struggled to find a healthy work-life balance, or if you are currently sacrificing the role of parent for the role of provider, this message is a gentle but urgent wake-up call. True wisdom is knowing when to stop working and start investing in the people who matter most. 📖 Key Scripture: Proverbs 23:4 🤍 Partner With Us Financially: Your generosity helps us share messages like this with the world.
