JONNY ARDAVANIS
About this episode

Are you making the most of the time God has given you? In this episode, we dive deep into Ephesians 5:15-16 and explore what it means to "redeem the time" as followers of Christ.

Key Topics Covered:

• What does "redeeming time" really mean in Scripture

• Why time is your most precious commodity

• 5 biblical reasons you need to redeem your time NOW

• 7 practical ways to steward your time wisely

• The difference between rest and wasting time

• How to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel

Scripture Focus: Ephesians 5:15-16 - "Be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil."

Practical Takeaways:

• Limit screen time (average person spends 7 hours/day on screens!)

• Create a daily schedule

• Learn to say no to good things for the best things

• Build godly discipline and rhythm into your life

• Practice biblical rest

The average person will spend 6.5 years of the next 20 years looking at screens. What if you could redeem that time for God's glory? Your time is short, uncertain, and once it's gone, it's gone forever. Learn how to steward it wisely.
