Episode 3 : The spiritual Art of Slowing Down

It's no secret, we live in a fast-paced world. Whether we are waiting for dinner, preparing for a project, or sitting at a stop light; these moments are far too often accompanied by the dreaded question, "how long?" Many of us live with the assumption that faster is always better. Any notion of a slowness, especially in the Western world, is often viewed pejoratively. God's work in the world is often slow and intentional; progressive but not rushed or pressured. Psalm 46:10 invites us to "Be still." Slowing down welcomes the possibility of discovery, it is often the necessary prerequisite for seeing where God is at work. This posture may feel at odds with the way you are invited to show up in your context, but I would like to invite you to consider an alternative way.
