Are you constantly busy but spiritually dry?
In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Steve Snyder joins Pastors Jesse Randolph and Aaron Nicholson to discuss how modern culture's obsession with productivity can quietly become an idol. While efficiency can be useful, believers must guard against measuring their worth by accomplishment, performance, or public recognition.
The conversation explores the dangers of burnout, misplaced priorities, ministry-driven busyness, and the subtle ways the worries of life can choke spiritual growth. Most importantly, the hosts point listeners back to the believer's primary calling: worshiping Christ and seeking His kingdom first.

Many churches today focus heavily on the New Testament but rarely preach from the Old. What are we missing when the Old Testament is neglected?
In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Pastor Rick Goertzen (Countryside Bible Church in Hampton, NE) explains why the Old Testament is essential for understanding the full message of Scripture. We discuss how the New Testament writers relied on the Old Testament, how key doctrines like holiness, covenant, sin, sacrifice, and redemption are rooted there, and why modern churches must recover faithful Old Testament teaching.
Pastor Goertzen also offers practical advice for pastors who want to incorporate the Old Testament more intentionally in preaching and discipleship, and guidance for believers who feel intimidated when reading it.
If we want to understand the New Testament rightly, we cannot neglect the Testament that came first.
