Have you ever stopped to think about how church activities and ministry work might distract you from truly connecting with God? In this episode of Southern Soul Chats, we dive into the heart of the matter with special guest Bailey Batts. Together, we explore how overcommitment to programs and religious obligations can unintentionally overshadow our relationship with God.
Bailey shares personal insights, biblical wisdom, and practical tips to help us refocus on God's presence rather than getting lost in the busyness of serving. Whether you’re feeling burned out, disconnected, or just searching for balance, this episode will encourage and challenge you to put God first—above all else.
Tune in, and let’s rediscover the joy of abiding in Him!
