The Practice of Finding Balance in a Busy Life
What if the reason you keep missing the people right in front of you has nothing to do with how much you care and everything to do with how fast you are moving? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckabee unpack the Parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10 and confront the uncomfortable truth that busyness has become the most accepted excuse for walking past people in need. The team gets personal with stories of moments they almost missed, digs into why we wear busyness like a badge of honor, and draws the line between a full life and a hurried life. They also explore what the Greek word for compassion actually means, why real compassion always costs you something, and what it looks like to build a life with enough margin to see the divine appointments God is putting in your path every single day. If you have been so busy doing good things that you keep missing the best thing right in front of you, this episode is going to change the way you see your calendar and the people around you.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode GuideThese guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

In this episode explore what stress really is, and how we can begin to relate to it in a different way.Stress is often seen as something caused by external circumstances: work, relationships, pressure, or difficult situations. But in reality, stress is not the situation itself, but our response to it.At a physical level, stress is a natural response of the body, designed to protect us. The nervous system moves into a state of activation, preparing us for action. But in modern life, many of us remain in this state far more than necessary.This episode explores the difference between external challenges and our internal response - the role of the nervous system in stres - why stress has become normalised in modern life - how disconnection from presence leads to tension and overwhelm - the impact of conditioning, pressure, and expectation, and he importance of reconnecting with the body and the present momentThrough investigation and practical insight, I explore how it is possible to live without stress! Not by removing challenges, but by changing how we meet them.When we return to presence, listen to the body, and let go of constant mental pressure, something shifts.We begin to experience life with greater ease, clarity, and connection.

In this episode I explore what it means to move forward in life without losing ourselves.Modern life is often full, with our work, relationships, family, responsibilities, not to mention our goals! It's easy to become caught up in everything that needs to be done and slowly drift away from a deeper connection to ourselves.And yet, alongside everything we do, there is always an awareness present, quietly witnessing our thoughts, actions, and experiences.This podcast explores that being still and conscious, is not to step away from life, but to remain connected to that awareness within it.This episode is a reflection on:Staying connected to presence in everyday lifeThe difference between awareness and reactivityHow stress often arises from fear and lack of presenceThe impact of comparison and external expectationsReturning to self-acceptance, compassion, and inner easeLiving from presence rather than conditioningOften, it is in the most challenging moments that we come to know ourselves more deeply. And it is also in these moments that we are most likely to lose ourselves in stress, fear, or exhaustion.By always returning to awareness, again and again, we begin to move through life in a different way.We can still have goals.Still move forward.Still engage fully with the world.But without losing ourselves in the process.
In this Delirious 2026 athlete check-in, I catch up with Matthew Farrand as the start line gets very, very close. And wow - life is definitely not slowing down for him. Between peak training, a knee niggle, putting the house on the market, solo parenting part of the week, and all the chaos that comes with normal life, Matthew has had plenty going on. But as we know… sometimes all the messy, challenging stuff is just part of the training too. We chat about the injury that forced him to back off at the right time, how he handled it sensibly with strength work and cross-training, and how he's now feeling much more confident again. We also dive into the practical side of getting to Delirious from London - flights, packing, race prep, food plans, crew logistics, and the very important matter of British treats in a race vest. Think Cadbury Creme Eggs, Eccles cakes, Kendal mint cake… Matthew may end up being the most popular runner on course. What I really loved in this chat was hearing what Matthew is most looking forward to - the landscape, the beauty of the course, the forests, the beach sections, and hopefully some memorable conversations out on the trail. He also shares a great tip about using the UltraPacer planning tool to map out crew access, sleep strategy, and pacing possibilities, especially when you're trying to coordinate a big point-to-point race from the other side of the world. This one is a lovely mix of real-life juggling, practical prep, and that growing excitement that comes when something huge is suddenly just around the corner.

Does your family ever feel overwhelmed by busyness? Whether you're shuttling kids to activities, managing household chaos, or just trying to get dinner on the table, it's easy to wonder if something's wrong when life feels so full. In this episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow share how busyness can be a blessing—and how families can thrive in the middle of the madness. Instead of telling you to slow down or feel guilty, Rob and Amy offer biblical wisdom and practical encouragement for finding joy, purpose, and spiritual connection in the midst of real-life schedules and obligations. Drawing from Proverbs 14, the fourth commandment, and their own busy household, they help you reset expectations and prioritize what matters most—without trying to imitate someone else's "ideal" family life. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why busyness isn't always a sign of imbalance How to maintain spiritual connection even when your calendar is full What Scripture says about work, rest, and the rhythms of family life Why you should not compare your family's pace with others Simple steps for keeping God at the center—even when dinner's on the run Special Opportunity: Provide Clean Water in the Philippines Join us in supporting our Visionary Family mission team heading to the Philippines!

In this short devotional-style episode, I reflect on how good, meaningful responsibilities can quietly compete for our attention — and how God gently calls us back when our priorities drift. Drawing from Exodus 20:3, this episode explores what it means to put God first in full seasons of life: post-holiday busyness, work and ministry commitments, family rhythms, early-year goals, and the subtle habits that pull us away from presence and rest. Through a personal story and Scripture-centered reflection, I am inviting you to pause, examine what has taken first place, and consider how obedience, wisdom, and faith shape everyday choices — even the small ones. This episode is part of a growing series of shorter devotional reflections designed to create space for Scripture, prayer, and real-life application in the middle of ordinary days. Praying this meets you where you need.

She's a proud millennial with a TBR list taller than my houseplants, and you might remember her from Episode 63, when she joined me alongside her son, Jarek.Episode Highlights:How Sami keeps a book with her everywhere she goes, even when reading time is short.What her real-life reading routine looks like right now and why nighttime has become her go-to.Easing into audiobooks by co-reading with a print copy.Why she likes to switch genres between books instead of reading the same kind back-to-back.Reflecting on reading aloud to her son when he was younger and how that shaped his love of reading.What it's like to be a family of re-readers (and why their bookshelves are always full).Savoring quiet reading moments - like sitting in the sunshine with a book and wishing it could last forever.Show NotesSome links are affiliate links, which are no extra cost to you but do help to support the show.Books and authors mentioned in the episode:Alan Gratz books (book recs in Ep. 6 with Lilianna)Six of Crows by Leigh BardugoHarry Potter series by J.K.

Feeling stuck in survival mode—skipping workouts, stress-snacking, sleeping less, and calling it "good enough"? In this fireside chat, we unpack how that bar quietly drops and what to do when "good enough" stops being enough. You'll learn how to spot the red flags, reframe your mindset, and raise your floor with small shifts that actually stick during busy seasons and the holidays. We riff on five everyday arenas where standards slip—and how to course-correct without perfectionism: Food noise vs food joy: enjoy treats on purpose, not by accident The good-enough workout: protect the appointment, adjust the dose Morning light vs winter blues: use light as a free energy reset Stress vs rest at family gatherings: step-out rituals that save your tone Gratitude as a reset: one specific thank-you that changes your day Plus, we show you how to use habit anchors to make consistency automatic and craft a one-line floor statement you can run for the next 7 days.

In this solo episode, Erin Aquin digs into a question so many vision-led entrepreneurs wrestle with: how do you make meaningful progress on a major creative project when your life is already full? Drawing from the behind-the-scenes story of writing multiple books during some of the busiest seasons of her life—new babies, lockdowns, growing the business, teaching, coaching—Erin shares what actually makes big creative commitments possible. Spoiler: it has less to do with time-blocking hacks and far more to do with how you care for yourself, how you relate to your vision, and the honesty with which you assess your own energy. She walks through the practices that keep her grounded while working on her next book, including the non-negotiable self-investment rituals that make creativity sustainable. She also breaks down how she structures her days, why she abandoned the fantasy of 5 a.m. hustle, and what she learned from repeatedly creating ambitious projects inside busy, very human seasons of life. What you'll take away: Why self-investment isn't a luxury but the foundation for major creative work How to distinguish between genuine desire and "goal swamp" motivations A simple, clarifying daily question that keeps your projects aligned with your real vision How to identify your personal peak creative windows and use them well What to stop doing when you're avoiding your big work (and how to replace those habits) How to celebrate progress when your project feels more like a marathon than a sprint Practical ways to start today without waiting for life to "slow down" For anyone with a book, program, product, or passion project sitting on the back burner, this episode offers a grounded reminder: you don't need more time, you need the right relationship with your vision.

With Spooner and Dovey out filming in in Europe, Damo and Adam are joined by Gaz for an honest, thoughtful chat about life, fishing, and what it really takes to balance both.

Despite the graft, Gaz has still managed to land some incredible carp — including a rare 49lb mirror called Black Spot — proving what's possible when you're organised, efficient, and determined.

Life today is overflowing with constant noise and endless responsibilities — from work demands to family schedules, to the never-ending stream of emails and notifications. It’s easy to feel stretched too thin, constantly pulled in competing directions. In today's devotional and prayer, Heidi Vegh reminds us that the key to balance isn’t found in managing every detail perfectly, but in surrendering our days to God. Matthew 6:33 calls us to seek first His Kingdom — to make God our priority before anything else. When we start our mornings with Him, we allow His Spirit to order our steps, giving us peace in the middle of chaos. Balance doesn’t mean doing everything; it means doing the right things, with God’s guidance. Sometimes His answer may be to rest instead of striving, to connect with a friend instead of checking one more task off the list. When we make room for holy interruptions, we find the kind of balance our souls truly crave. Today's Bible Reading: “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right attitude and character of God), and all these things will be given to you also.” – Matthew 6:33 (AMP) Key Takeaways Balance begins with priorities — seeking God first each day. Surrendering control allows God to redirect our days according to His will. The Holy Spirit provides gentle nudges and guidance when we feel overwhelmed. True balance comes not from doing it all, but from living aligned with God’s purposes. Let’s Pray Lord, life is busy and overwhelming, and I need balance. I surrender my plans, to-do lists, and ideals into Your hands. Guide me with Your Spirit, reminding me to start each day with You. Show me what to lay down, what to pick up, and how to create space for rest. Thank You for caring about every detail of my life and for promising to order my steps when I seek You first. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Start your morning tomorrow with a Scripture reading and prayer before touching your phone. Ask God throughout the day: “What’s the next right thing?” and trust His nudge. Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer and share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement to slow down and seek God first.

Daily Meditation When life’s calendar overflows with commitments, it can be hard to discern what’s truly important. In this relatable devotional, Laura Bailey reflects on how our time can quickly get consumed by good things—yet still leave us feeling spiritually empty. She draws from 1 Corinthians 10:23 to challenge us to rethink our calendars, our hearts, and our priorities. Through a busy season of endless events, Laura invites us to pause and ask: Just because we can, does that mean we should? By seeking the Lord’s guidance, we can learn to live more intentionally, create margin for the things that matter most, and align our lives with the eternal purpose of serving and glorifying God.
