The Recalibration

#93 God’s Pace Brings Clarity — Not Pressure


Listen Later

Feeling behind? This episode unpacks why spiritual slowness is not weakness — it’s wisdom. Discover how the Sovereign’s timing brings identity-rooted clarity without pressure.

You’re not behind- You’re being built.

This faith-forward episode of the Identity-Level Recalibration podcast speaks directly to high-capacity humans wrestling with spiritual shame around “waiting too long” to decide. If you’ve been taught that clarity must come fast — this is your recalibration.

Julie Holly opens up about her own season of slowing down — from pressing pause on speaking opportunities to trusting God for provision while building ILR from a place of peace, not pressure. She explains how slowness isn’t a detour — it’s development. And when you walk at God’s pace, clarity is deeper, steadier, and actually sustainable.

You’ll hear how Dallas Willard, philosopher and author of The Divine Conspiracy, modeled a life of sacred slowness — and why rushing often causes us to miss not only what God is saying, but who He’s shaping us to become.

This episode is for you if you’ve been:

  • Feeling ashamed for not having clarity “yet”
  • Questioning if you’re being disobedient by slowing down
  • Trying to “push through” spiritual discernment seasons
  • Longing for peace in your decision-making process
  • Wondering if the path you’re on is still aligned

Inside this episode:

  • The neuroscience behind why we equate speed with safety
  • What Scripture reveals about God’s pace in identity formation
  • Why rushing sabotages long-term alignment
  • How one slow decision can lead to the deepest recalibration
Today’s Micro Recalibration:
Ask the Sovereign, “What’s Your pace for me in this decision?” Then listen — don’t push.

Leadership Prompt:
Invite your team or family into this reflection:

“Where do we feel rushed — and what would it look like to lead from peace instead of pressure?”
