"Is laziness just a bad habit, or is it a sin? In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis and Hank Bowen dig into the Book of Proverbs to unpack what the Bible really says about the sluggard — and why laziness is a character issue, not just a productivity issue.

• 5 traits of the "sluggard" from Proverbs 26
• Why laziness and godliness are total opposites
