Every Moment Holy - Holy Inefficiency

Missio Dei Community - SLC

This week we explore how an obsession with efficiency can hinder wholeness and following the way of Jesus. While efficiency—the ability to maximize outputs with minimal inputs—can be a valuable tool, it becomes problematic when applied to every aspect of life. Instead of alleviating anxiety and creating space, an obsession with efficiency often magnifies stress and reduces life to measurable outputs. The Bible offers an alternative: patience. Biblical patience is not merely about waiting but about creating spaciousness—towards God, others, and ourselves—to cultivate trust, intimacy, and room to breathe. Holy Inefficiency invites us to resist productivity-driven habits and embrace rhythms that nurture our spiritual flourishing as God’s image-bearers.
