What if slowing down isn't falling behind, but making room for God to lead?
In Episode 2 of Jesus Girl Summer, we go deeper into the invitation to live at a different pace—the pace of Jesus. In a world that constantly tells us to hustle, achieve, stay busy, and keep up, God invites us into something radically different: rest, retreat, and relationship.
This episode explores what happens when we intentionally step away from the noise and create space to hear God's voice. Sometimes we don't need another strategy, another opportunity, or another five-step plan. Sometimes we simply need to get quiet enough to listen.
We talk about the difference between resting in God and running from God, and how retreating can become a spiritual practice rather than an escape. When we make space for prayer, silence, Scripture, and stillness, we become more attentive to the Holy Spirit's gentle guidance.
But listening requires surrender. The Holy Spirit may lead us somewhere we didn't expect. He may ask us to wait when we want to move, release something we've been holding onto, or slow down when everything in us wants to speed up. Learning to recognize His leading requires cultivating a life that isn't so full of noise that we can't hear.
We also explore Sabbath as an act of trust. Sabbath reminds us that our worth isn't determined by our productivity and that the world will keep turning even when we stop. Rest becomes a declaration that God is our provider—not our hustle, our accomplishments, our plans, or our ability to control outcomes.
This episode is an invitation to stop asking, “What am I supposed to be accomplishing right now?” and begin asking:
“Jesus, where are You inviting me to slow down, listen, and follow?”
Maybe this season isn't about doing more.
Maybe it's about being with Him more.
Maybe the breakthrough isn't found in another thing to pursue, but in the courage to become still enough to receive what God is already saying.
