  From Information to Transformation: Rethinking How We Teach

  Sep 14, 202642 min

  Most of us have experienced teaching that gives us a lot to think about, but doesn’t necessarily change much how we live. In this conversation about spiritual formation and Christian leadership, Alan and Gem explore why transformation rarely comes through information alone.   Through their years leading retreats, workshops, and the PACE leadership cohort at Unhurried Living, they have discovered that growth often happens in quieter ways. It unfolds as people learn to listen to God, reflect on their lives, and share honestly with others.   In this episode, they talk about the rhythms that help learning move from the mind into the soul. These include practices like solitude and silence, offering teaching in smaller portions, creating meaningful interaction, allowing a spacious schedule, and paying attention to the dynamics within a group.   If you lead retreats, facilitate small groups, serve in ministry, or simply desire a deeper life with God, this conversation offers insight into how thoughtful learning environments can support lasting spiritual growth.   You may discover that the way we gather and learn together matters more than we often realize. ______________________________________ Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living website and her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads Learn about PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care   Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us .

  What does it mean to become an apprentice of Jesus—not just as an individual, but as part of a community shaped by the kingdom of God?   In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling is joined by friend and colleague Matt Fogle for a thoughtful conversation with Keas Keasler about his new IVP Academic book, Kingdom Apprenticeship: Dallas Willard’s Formational Theology and Missional Vision.   Together they explore Dallas Willard’s understanding of spiritual formation, grace as both pardon and power, the church as a community of discipleship, and what it means for ordinary Christians and ministry leaders to become people who increasingly reflect the life of Christ. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, or simply longing for deeper transformation, this conversation offers a hopeful vision for becoming apprentices of Jesus in every area of life.   In this episode you’ll discover: Why spiritual formation is about more than gaining knowledge Dallas Willard’s vision for grace, discipleship, and transformation How the church becomes a “school of life” where people learn to live in God’s kingdom Why formation is both deeply personal and profoundly communal Practical encouragement for pastors and ministry leaders seeking lasting spiritual growth   Connect with Alan on  LinkedIn  or learn more about  Unhurried Living programs on their website.  Learn about PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us .

  Why We Think, Feel, and Respond Differently: The Enneagram at Work (Joey Stabile Schewee)

  Aug 31, 202657 min

  Why can two people experience the same conversation, meeting, or problem so differently?   In this episode, Gem talks with Enneagram teacher, management consultant, and executive coach Joey Stabile Schewee , author of When Working Together Doesn’t Work , about what’s happening beneath our behavior and why understanding how we process the world can transform our relationships.   Joey explores the Enneagram’s three Processing Centers: Doing, Feeling, and Thinking, including what she calls the “processing divide.” She also unpacks the three stances, Independent, Responsive, and Solitary, and how they influence our relationship with time, our reference point, and the ways we engage with others.   Then Joey walks through all nine Enneagram types, offering a brief, accessible description of each and helpful clues for recognizing your own type.   Whether you’re new to the Enneagram or have been using it for years, this conversation offers practical insight for greater self-awareness, healthier communication, and more gracious relationships at work and beyond.

  The Prophetic Power of an Unhurried Life

  Aug 24, 202615 min

  Over the years, more than one person has described the ministry of Unhurried Living as prophetic. For a long time, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with that assessment.   In this episode, I reflect on insights from Eugene Peterson’s The Jesus Way and an observation from recovery historian Ernest Kurtz that helped me see prophetic ministry in a new light.   We often remember the dramatic moments of prophets like Elijah, Jeremiah, and John the Baptist. But what if their hidden seasons were just as important as their public ones? What if the margins, rather than the center, are where God does some of his deepest work?   Together we’ll explore: Why prophets are often formed in hidden places What life on the margins can teach us about God How solitude helps us resist the assumptions of our culture Why weakness and dependence are central to spiritual formation How an unhurried life can quietly challenge our culture’s definitions of success   Whether you’re leading, serving, recovering, or simply seeking a deeper life with God, this reflection offers an invitation to rediscover the living center around which all of life is meant to turn.   Connect with Alan on  LinkedIn  or learn more about  Unhurried Living programs on their website.  Learn about PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us .
