    284: Befriending Peace (Alan)

    Having written a book about anxiety, I’ve seen a lot of promises about how to solve it. A life hack here. Six easy steps there. But my own experience with anxiety has been anything but easy. Today, I want to share some of the more unexpected pathways to peace I’ve discovered in my journey.

    283: From Information to Transformation: A Gracious Path to Growth (Gem)

    Hard. Crusty. Unyielding.

    Rootless. Shallow. Burning out. Withering.

    Thorny. Distracted. Choked. Pressed.

    Good. Healthy. Vibrant. Thriving.



    What is this list of (mostly disturbing) words I’ve just uttered? Especially when the title of this episode includes, “A Gracious Reflection.” Well, it’s a list that came to mind upon a recent encounter with the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4. I was struck by the inner dynamics described by Jesus. I’ve taken his four types of soil and created some reflection questions that you can use for a heart-check-in. Let’s do it, today on Unhurried Living Podcast.

    282: Creativity and Spiritual Life (Alan with Amy Pierson)

    282: Creativity and Spiritual Life (Alan with Amy Pierson)

    The greatest priority in the kingdom of God is simple and straightforward. Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength (Mark 12:30).” That sentence will not surprise a single one of you listening.

    But, in my own experience of the Christian life, it has often felt like we majored on loving God with our minds over loving God with our souls, or hearts, or physical strength. We’ve often valued the right ideas over the right sort of heart or fruitful practice. Today, we’ll talk about how we might experience a more creative way of living our lives in God.

    281: Trust Tested (Gem)

    In Anne Lamott's book, Traveling Mercies, she shares the story that led her to take the leap into her own faith journey. It was the story of Abraham and Isaac that caught her attention. The reality and authenticity of Abraham's belief and trust in God's provision compelled her. It led me to ponder and process that moment in Abraham's life. This is where we’re headed today on the Unhurried Living Podcast.

    280: Embodying Peace: How Jesus' Wisdom Can Silence Anxiety (Alan)

    280: Embodying Peace: How Jesus' Wisdom Can Silence Anxiety (Alan)

    Sometimes, anxiety rises in my thoughts, emotions, and body as an overwhelming wave. I’m tempted in moments like that to let myself be overcome, whether by allowing anxiety to immobilize me, to chase me away from what God has given me to do, or even to drive me to ways of working that seem to be only thinly aware that God is with me as I work.

    I’ve been learning that over time that anxiety became embedded in my mind, my emotions, even my body. But I’ve also been learning that the peace of Christ can displace anxiety in me. I can learn to let the peace of Christ protect me from anxious worry in the midst of my many concerns. And I wanted to share with you what I’ve been learning, and more about what I wrote in A Non-Anxious Life.

    279: Healthy Feelings, Thriving Faith (Alan with Bill & Kristi Gaultiere)

    279: Healthy Feelings, Thriving Faith (Alan with Bill & Kristi Gaultiere)

    Spiritual growth is often sparked by great love or deep pain. But so much of our world conspires to keep us too busy to feel loved or to pay attention to our deep feelings. We want to grow, but we aren’t always aware of the points at which God is inviting us forward. We need mentors and tools that will help slow us down to notice God with us, and to see where we may be welcoming the grace of God in our lives and where we may be resisting God’s initiative and work.

    One tool that has helped me immensely over the years is the Enneagram. It’s become rather popular in the church in recent years. My guests today have written an important book that unpacks this tool titled Healthy Feelings, Thriving Faith. I really appreciate how they make the Enneagram understandable as a tool for growth.

    Welcome to the Unhurried Leader Podcast, where today we are talking with Bill and Kristi Gaultiere.
