Faith-focused entrepreneurs face a tension nobody talks about: the world says time is running out. Scripture says we're eternal.

Which one is actually driving your calendar?

In this episode, David Laut shares the seven-year grinding season that nearly cost him his relationship with his oldest son, the agreement he made with God about how much time he'd give to work, and why his business grew 5X after he started doing less.

We cover:

→ Why "time is money" is the smallest version of stewardship

→ The lie of "I'm the provider" — and what's really driving our work obsession

→ The unspoken trade-off: getting validation at work that you don't get at home

→ Why owning the outcome is the fastest path to burnout

→ The 80/20 principle through a Kingdom lens

→ Using prayer to solve real-world problems (including a wild valet-step story)

→ The Ephesians 5 framework for making the best use of your time

→ What faith, hope, and love actually look like in a calendarIf you've ever felt the tension between ambition and discipleship — between building wealth and stewarding your life — this conversation is for you.
