  • Summary

  • Episode Description: Are you consumed and overwhelmed with the pace of life or have you discovered the way of the unhurried life? Today’s guest is Alan Fadling, the Founder and President of Unhurried Living, Inc. Additionally, he is the author of An Unhurried Life and An Unhurried Leader. In this important conversation, Alan helps us slow down to recognize the negative impact that the challenge of hurry can have on our souls. Alan recognizes the challenge of hurry that we are confronted with on a daily basis, yet shows us another way forward, the way of unhurriedness.   Looking to the example of Jesus, we are reminded that “he didn’t let busy fill every waking minute of his life.” Alan invites us to re-evaluate what matters most, loving God and loving people. Unfortunately, if we lose sight of this, hurry can consume us and we will find ourselves missing the mark. We are presented with the important reminder that “you can’t love people in a hurry and you can’t love God in a hurry.” By embracing the way of unhurriedness, we can experience a deeper connection with God and therefore re-establish our identity in our relationship with God instead of our performance or accomplishments. The way of unhurriedness sets the stage for the profound kingdom impact that we can cultivate in our lives and in the people around us.   In this conversation, you will hear Alan and Bobby discuss the following:
    • Focusing on the things that matter most.
    • The challenge of hurry vs. the challenge of busyness.
    • The patient process of developing people.
    • Developing personal habits and rhythms.
