About this episode

Cory Wing explores biblical teachings on laziness, diligence, and the balance of work and rest in Christian living.

In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores what the Bible teaches about laziness, diligence, work, rest, productivity, stewardship, and faithful Christian living. What does Scripture say about procrastination, burnout, hard work, and finding true rest in Christ? Drawing from Proverbs, 2 Thessalonians, Genesis, Ephesians, and the example of Jesus Himself, Corey examines why laziness is more than a productivity problem—it is ultimately a matter of worship, responsibility, and love for neighbor. He also offers biblical encouragement for Christians who are weary, overwhelmed, discouraged, or struggling to balance work and rest. Whether you're battling procrastination, feeling burned out, or seeking wisdom for faithful stewardship, this episode provides practical biblical guidance for living diligently while resting confidently in Christ.
