    In Episode 2 of the Purpose Before Performance series, Dr. Adekunle Adenipekun explores one of the greatest dangers facing Christian leaders today: the gradual replacement of presence with God by ministry activity. Drawing from Luke 10:38–42, John 15:1–9, Mark 1:35, and Psalm 46:10, this episode examines how performance-driven leadership can quietly erode intimacy with Christ, leaving leaders productive but spiritually depleted. Topics include: • Martha and Mary: activity versus attentiveness• Abiding versus striving• Prayer becoming functional rather than relational• Public effectiveness and private drift• Sustainable rhythms for long-term faithfulness• Why Jesus repeatedly withdrew to be with the Father This conversation is designed for pastors, ministry leaders, Christian professionals, and mission-driven leaders seeking healthier rhythms for lifelong faithfulness.
