This episode first aired on May 12, 2023. EVERYTHING IS STILL RELEVANT :)

Rev. Cynthia D. Dorsey of Nyack, New York, is the perfect person to discuss the question: How do you make God a priority when you barely have time to sleep, eat, work, play, and take care of family? Besides being part of a close-knit family that requires some caretaking duties, she also is an adjunct professor at Westchester Community College and Family Life Director where she supervises 11 ministries at Union Baptist Church in White Plains, N.Y.

She takes a minute out of her schedule to join co-hosts Tamara and Charisse Henry. Rev. Dorsey suggests taking 10 minutes each day to focus on God either in a prayer, a Bible scripture (s) or a spiritual or Christ-centered song.

"We all have many excuses why we don't put God first. All of us have many excuses - early work schedules ... too busy ... family obligations ... We always place priority on the things that mean the most to us. We need to factor God into our priority system," she tells Emunah listeners.

Rev. Dorsey stressed that we should "make it intentional to prioritize God in what we are doing."

A key scripture she offers: Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you."

Minister Kendall McFarlane joined the episode. Listen to how she was able to draw her daughters into worship and meditation sessions with her.

In what ways are you putting God first??
