I Didn’t Realize How Much I Was Rushing Until I Was Forced to Slow Down

Listen Later

I Didn’t Realize How Much I Was Rushing Until I Was Forced to Slow Down is an honest reflection on pace, pressure, and what God reveals when everything finally gets quiet.

In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, Jazmine shares vulnerably about a season of slowing down, listening more closely to God, and realizing that stillness isn’t inactivity—it’s cooperation. Through personal reflection and biblical truth, she explores how God often exposes our hearts privately before anything ever surfaces publicly—and how that kind of exposure is not punishment, but grace.

This episode unpacks:

  • Why God slows us down when ambition gets loud
  • How stillness reveals what striving tries to hide
  • The difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition
  • Why hidden seasons are often preparation, not punishment
  • How refinement precedes true spiritual transformation
  • What it means to trust God’s timing over our own pace

    • If you’ve felt frustrated by waiting, uncomfortable with rest, or confused by a season of slowing down, this conversation is an invitation to see stillness as grace—and refinement as proof that God is investing in you.

    Stillness doesn’t mean you’re behind.

    Hidden doesn’t mean you’re forgotten.

    And refinement is often where transformation begins.
