EP. 58 - The Sacred Hustle: Leading with Purpose, Not Pressure
On this episode of The Future’s Here Podcast, hosts Tommy Nixon and Robert Abo dive into a raw conversation about hustle culture in leadership, ministry, and entrepreneurship. Too many leaders are burning out under the weight of constant pressure, mistaking exhaustion for passion and tying their identity to productivity.
Tommy and Robert unpack what they call the sacred hustle—a way of leading that combines hard work with God’s guidance. They contrast it with the harmful hustle that leaves leaders depleted, bitter, and spiritually dry. Through honest stories and biblical insight, they break down:
- Why burnout often disguises itself as passion
- How ministry can slip into performance and people-pleasing
- What happens when God gets pushed to the edges of your work
- The warning signs that your hustle has become harmful
- Five practical ways to shift from unhealthy hustle to sacred hustle
If you’ve ever felt pressure to grind harder, prove yourself, or sacrifice your well-being for success, this conversation will help you reset your perspective. Discover how to work with purpose, keep God at the center, and become the kind of leader you were called to be.
