REDEEM Her Time | Christian Time Management, Business Productivity, Time Management Daily Planner, Time Management Coaching

Lissa Figgins

What if the problem isn't that you need more time—but that you've been taught to think about time the wrong way? Welcome to REDEEM Her Time, the podcast for Christian women who are ready to stop striving, escape the pressure of always feeling behind, and discover a more biblical way to live, lead, and steward the time God has entrusted to them. Your theology of time shapes the way you steward your life. That's why every episode explores both the sacred and strategic sides of Time Stewardship. Because time is sacred, and stewardship is strategic. When we understand God's design for time, we stop trying to simply manage our calendars and begin faithfully stewarding every season He has entrusted to us. Whether you're building a business, leading your family, navigating midlife, serving in ministry, or discerning what's next, you'll find biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and simple rhythms to help you live with greater peace, presence, purpose, and lasting impact. Hi, I'm Lissa, founder of REDEEM Her Time. For years, I believed the answer was better time management—better planners, better systems, and better productivity. I taught Christian women practical strategies to organize their schedules, manage competing priorities, and create more balance. But despite doing all the "right" things, I still found myself feeling rushed, distracted, and wondering why all my effort wasn't producing the fruit I longed for. God gently showed me that my greatest challenge wasn't my calendar. It was my understanding of time itself. That revelation transformed not only how I plan my days, but how I live my life. Now, instead of simply teaching Christian time management, I help women discover a biblical theology of time that transforms the way they steward every area of life, leadership, business, and calling. Each week we'll explore how to steward your time with both biblical wisdom and practical strategy so you can faithfully live out your calling without striving to do it all. Together we'll discover how to: • Build a biblical theology of time that changes the way you see every day. • Discern what it's time for in your current season. • Create sacred rhythms and strategic practices that align your calendar with your calling. • Faithfully steward your life, leadership, business, relationships, and resources with greater peace, presence, and purpose. • Bear lasting fruit by living in step with God's priorities instead of the world's pressure. If you've been searching for Christian time management, biblical productivity, time stewardship, business productivity, Christian business coaching, or practical ways to align your faith with your calendar, you'll discover a different approach here. Instead of simply managing your time, you'll learn how to faithfully steward the sacred gift of time through the lens of Scripture. You don't need more hours in your day. You need a redeemed perspective on the time you've already been given. Whether you've been listening for years or this is your very first episode, my prayer is the same—that you'll stop striving to manage every minute and instead embrace Sacred + Strategic Time Stewardship, experiencing greater peace, purpose, presence, and lasting fruit as you faithfully live the life God has entrusted to you. I'm so glad you're here. Let's redeem our time...together.

    436 | Theology of Time 101: Why Your Calendar Reveals What You Believe

    What do you do when your calendar changes unexpectedly… • Do you find yourself anxious when your plans fall apart?• Do you feel guilty when you don’t accomplish everything you hoped?• Do you immediately start trying to take back control? Most of us assume the answer is better planning, stronger routines, or more discipline. But what if the real issue isn’t your planner... What if it’s your theology of time? Because theology isn’t simply something we believe.It’s something we live. And because we live it, our theology quietly shapes how we think, choose, lead, rest, work, and steward every hour we’ve been given. In this foundational episode, we’re beginning a brand-new series: Theology of Time 101. Together, we'll discover why time isn't merely something to manage. It's a sacred gift from God—one we're invited to receive with gratitude and steward with wisdom. Inside This Episode In today’s conversation, we’ll explore: * Why everyone already has a theology of time—even if you’ve never stopped to think about it. * Why your calendar reveals what you believe about time. * How the Busyness Lie quietly fuels anxiety, hurry, and the feeling of always being behind. * Why your theology of time shapes your methodology with time—and ultimately shapes who you become over time. * One simple question that can transform the way you approach every day: What is it time for? Sacred Truth Time is not merely a resource to optimize. It is a sacred gift entrusted to us by God. When our theology of time is shaped by Scripture, our stewardship becomes less about accomplishing more and more about faithfully responding to God’s invitation in each season. Because time is sacred......and stewardship is strategic. Reflect Before you move on with your day, pause with this question: What belief about time has quietly been shaping the way you live—and is God inviting you to see it differently? This conversation doesn't end with the episode. Share your thoughts in the comments below—I read every one, and I'd love to hear what God is revealing to you as you rethink your theology of time. Continue the Conversation If today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to invite you to continue the conversation in Sacred + Strategic Time Stewardship on Substack. Each week you’ll receive companion articles, podcast episodes, biblical reflections, and practical tools to help you faithfully steward your time in light of God’s Word. If you’re ready to move from learning to living, I’d love to welcome you into the Stewardship Circle. Together, we’ll go deeper through monthly teachings, guided reflection, and practical implementation as you learn to faithfully steward every season. Time is sacred. Stewardship is strategic.

    434 5 Places to Put Your Phone Down (and Pick up Your Life)

    Some moments deserve our full attention. A family dinner. A conversation. A quiet morning with the Lord. A focused hour working on what matters most. But if we're honest... Our phones have a way of quietly following us into places they were never meant to go. Not because technology is bad. But because what's always available can easily become what's always present. That's why we're continuing our July Digital Independence Challenge with another Replay Rewind from the original REDEEM Her Phone Time series.

    432 Redefine Your Relationship with Your Phone

    Some relationships bring life. Others quietly begin demanding more of our attention than we ever intended to give. If we're honest... Our relationship with our phones can slowly become the latter. Not because phones are bad. But because what starts as a helpful tool can gradually become a habit we no longer question. We reach for it without thinking. We check it without needing to. We fill every quiet moment before we've even noticed the impulse. That's why we're continuing our July Digital Independence Challenge with another Replay Rewind from the original REDEEM Her Phone Time series. Because awareness is only the beginning. Freedom grows when we begin redefining our relationship with our devices—one healthy boundary at a time. In this episode, you'll discover: • why taking a break creates the clarity we often can't find while we're constantly connected • the surprising illustration that may completely change the way you think about your phone • why defining your relationship with your device matters more than setting random rules • practical ways to replace screen time with life-giving rhythms • how remembering your "why" makes healthy boundaries stick • why freedom isn't about using your phone less—it's about becoming more present to what matters most If you've ever caught yourself reaching for your phone without even realizing it... Or wondered if your device has become more controlling than helpful... This conversation is for you. And if this episode resonates, don't stop here. Episodes 105–122 walk through the entire REDEEM Her Phone Time series, combining biblical truth with practical phone stewardship tools to help you reclaim your attention and your presence. You'll also find the REDEEM Her Phone Time Guide and REDEEM Her Time Screensaver waiting for you inside the free REDEEM Her Time Community. Because changing your relationship with your phone isn't really about your phone. It's about becoming more available to God, the people you love, and the life He's inviting you to live.

    What if your phone is costing you more than just time? Most of us know we're spending too much time on our devices.

    430 What If Your Phone Is Costing You More Than Time

    You know that moment when you pick up your phone to check one thing… And somehow twenty minutes disappear? Or maybe it's not even the time that bothers you. It's the feeling that you're missing your own life while trying not to miss anything online. The texts. The notifications. The endless scrolling. The pressure to stay connected. Because the real cost of our devices isn't just the hours they consume. It's the attention they steal. And the presence they replace. That's why for the month of July, we're doing something a little different. We're kicking off the Digital Independence Challenge—not to shame ourselves for using technology, but to reclaim our attention and become more present to God, our families, and the moments right in front of us. And to help us, I'm bringing back one of the most popular series we've ever done. This Replay Rewind episode originally kicked off the REDEEM Her Phone Time Challenge in 2023, and honestly, I think I needed to hear it again too. In this episode, you'll discover: • why awareness is the first step to redeeming your phone time • the surprising amount of time most of us spend on our devices • how accessibility can quietly make us less available to what matters most • why distraction may be one of the enemy's favorite tactics • how to begin reclaiming your attention without throwing your phone out the window • the simple challenge I'm inviting you into this July If you've ever said, "I don't have time," or if you've felt distracted, reactive, or like life is passing by faster than you'd like, this episode is for you. And if you've heard it before? Maybe that's exactly why you need to hear it again. Because sometimes the things we need most aren't new. They're reminders. And perhaps the thing you're afraid of missing… Isn't on your phone at all. It's the life you're living right now. Press play, choose one boundary for July, and let's reclaim not just our time—but our presence. YOU. HAVE. TIME.  Lissa Come join the Digital Independence Challenge (+ grab the REDEEM Your Phone Time resources) in the Community READY FOR YOUR NEXT CEO STEP?
