What Our Pace Reveals

What this episode covers

Episode 2 of The Pace Podcast.Last episode we talked about how a unhealthy pace has become normal in our lives and how we were never created to constantly live rushed, distracted, exhausted, and disconnected. But in this episode, we go deeper and ask the question: Why do we live this way in the first place?Why does urgency feel safer than stillness?In this conversation we explore how urgency slowly pushes us toward self-dependence instead of dependence on God, and how our pace eventually reveals what—or who—we trust. We talk about control, pressure, striving, and why slowing down can feel uncomfortable in a culture rooted in productivity, achievement, urgency, and performance.We also discuss:how urgency can become a control strategywhy God’s pace is slow enough for relationshipwhat speed does to our soulswhy slowing down is spiritual, not lazyhow Jesus responded to pressure differently than we dothe difference between striving and abidingMaybe urgency feels safer because we don’t fully trust what happens when we stop. But maybe stillness is where we actually learn that God is already with us.Let’s slow down so we can catch up with Jesus.
