Restoring the Soul #128: An Unhurried Life

Allan Fadling was a young pastor in a driven church, newly married, and a seminarian hitting burnout in his late 20s. He was addicted to hurry and stunned when someone mentioned that Jesus was relaxed. What? Is that even a good thing?

This is the story of a leader who had the courage to address his problem of hurry, as he was introduced to the unhurried Jesus and his way of treating people, walking with God and building into a small group of people over a long period of time.  

I (James) wish I’d have had the opportunity to be positively haunted by this story earlier in my ministry journey. This is about discovering fruit that will last – the kind you can’t measure in quarterly ministry reports, but shows up in 5-and-10-year stories.
