The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry Ch. 2

⏳ **“Hurry is our enemy.”** Tonight in our *Ruthless Elimination of Hurry* series (Ch. 2), we unpacked how hurry is not just about packed schedules—it’s a **spiritual issue** that robs us of peace, presence, and connection with God and others. We reflected on how “our world has not always been the frenziest place to be,” yet we’ve filled every spare moment with something—often “everything but what we need to be doing.” From the sundial to the smartphone, technology has sped us up, but it’s also pulled us away from God’s pace. 💬 Key truths we wrestled with: * **“No means nurturing oneself.”** Sometimes the holiest thing you can do is say no and guard your time with God. * “Hurry makes you want to buy, but learning to save causes you to slow down.” Even our financial habits can teach us to pause and trust God’s provision. * “Relationship problems start because both people are too much in a hurry to work on the problem.” Slowing down creates space for healing. * “You may be the only Jesus anyone will see.” The pace we live at directly affects how we reflect Christ. * Meditating on the Word is more than reading—it’s “reading, then stepping away to make it live in you.” We closed with a reminder from Matthew 11:28: 💬 *“Come unto Me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”* 🎧 If this spoke to you, listen back to the podcast and join us next week as we continue learning to slow down, live intentionally, and walk at Jesus’ pace. #RuthlessEliminationOfHurry #JourneyFam #FaithOverHustle #BePresentWithGod #ChristianLiving #SpiritualGrowth
