"Jesus lives at the pace of his father's priorities."
-Alan Fadling, A Year of Slowing Down

In this episode, I am joined by guest Alan Fadling, the author of A Year of Slowing Down: Daily Devotionals for Unhurried Living. Alan and I discuss the concept of unhurried living and the importance of slowing down to notice and prioritize what truly matters in life. Alan shares his experiences from an 8-day silent retreat and highlights the value of being present and unhurried. We explore the idea that Jesus lived at the pace of his father's priorities and how we can cultivate an unhurried life through contemplative practices and intentional reflection.

Alan Fadling is president and founder of Unhurried Living, Inc. in Mission Viejo, California. He speaks and consults internationally. He is an award-winning
author of An Unhurried Leader and An Unhurried Life, which was honored with a Christianity Today Award of Merit in spirituality. He is also coauthor (with Gem Fadling) of What Does Your Soul Love?
