Losing Myself in the Hustle — and Finding God in the Silence

Have you ever worked so hard for your family, your career, or your dreams that somewhere along the way… you lost yourself? In this episode of Truth Unveiled, I share a deeply personal journey of chasing success and approval, only to realize I had drifted from the very people and the very God I was trying to honor—my wife, my boys, and the Lord Himself.

I walk you through the turning points that forced me to slow down, reflect, and listen—truly listen—to God, to my family, and to my own heart. Through honest stories, Biblical insight, and practical steps, I unpack how work can be redeemed, how stress can become sacred, and how presence can finally replace pressure.

Inside this episode, I reveal the five truths that reshaped my entire perspective on work and calling:

- Work as worship
- Purpose over position
- Faithfulness over fame
- Eternal impact in everyday labor
- Rest as an act of obedience

If you’ve ever found yourself exhausted, empty, or spiritually disconnected despite outward success, this episode will give you both encouragement and a roadmap. I share the rhythms, practices, and prayers that helped me restore balance, reclaim joy, and invite God back into every part of my daily work—from committing each task to Him, to protecting a true day of rest each week. These simple practices can transform ordinary moments into holy ground.

Let’s stop chasing performance and start embracing purpose. Let’s turn our desks into altars and our labor into worship.
