In this opening session, Pastor Taylor Callen explores why hurry is not just a scheduling problem. Hurry is a spiritual crisis. Drawing from his own story of burnout and recovery, and leaning on insights from John Mark Comer, Kevin DeYoung, and others, he traces how our modern culture has discipled us into distraction, anxiety, and exhaustion.

With biblical reflections from Luke 10, Mark 1, Psalm 46, and more, this session diagnoses the soul-warping effects of hurry and lays the groundwork for the rest of the year’s fellowship theme: reclaiming Gospel pace for the glory of Christ and the good of His church.

“What if the solution isn’t a better calendar, but a better Savior?”
