Hey CEO…I don't know about you, but I was addicted to SPEED.No, not the drug kind, but the always-doing kind. You know- the always fitting more in, the forever checking more boxes, the constant being everywhere all-the time kind of speed- especially in my business cuz I had people to serve and goals to reach, you too? Except all that speed only resulted in one thing- HURRY SICKNESS. Perhaps you've heard my story of my diagnosis of Hystericus Globus where my ignoring of the signs I was always going too fast finally caught up with me. The same thing happened to my friend Jennifer Dukes Lee- except her doctor didn't try to hand her a pill to make it all go away. He told her it was a HEART problem, not as in the pumping blood kind, but the what she was running after kind. When I read her story in her book Growing Slow this summer and heard it took a diagnosis of hurry sickness for her too to finally embrace Growing Slow, I couldn't put the book down and had to invite her to be on the podcast. Jennifer Dukes Lee is the bestselling author of several books, including Growing Slow, It's All Under Control, and Stuff I'd Only Tell God. She's a fan of queso, bright lipstick, and singing too loudly to songs with great harmony. She lives on a fifth-generation family farm in Iowa, where she and her husband have made a life of growing crops, pigs, two beautiful humans, and an enduring faith. And you're about to listen in on a very real conversation as we walk through the 4 seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter on the farm and in our hearts and explore the purpose God has behind each one. I have a feeling this is one you're gonna want to listen to again and share with your BIZ BESTIES who also may be addicted to speed and suffering (undiagnosed) from HURRY SICKNESS…cuz I think we all do, especially when trying to scale a business to 6 figures and beyond.

We live in such a busy, distracted, instant gratification culture - we want everything to happen that we think should happen, and we expect it to happen now. And yet, that's neither realistic nor healthy. What if growing slowly as writers turned out to be a much more healthy and sustainable way of operating? Listen in as I talk with best-selling author and acquisitions editor, Jennifer Dukes Lee, about her own journey from the fast-paced world of city journalism to a slower pace of life writing books on her farm in Iowa. You'll also learn about the benefits of slow growth from the perspective of the publishing world, and what publishers look for in a book proposal (and it's not necessarily an enormous platform).This was such an encouraging conversation, wherever you are in the writing journey!About Jennifer:Jennifer Dukes Lee is the bestselling author of several books, including Growing Slow, It's All Under Control, and Stuff I'd Only Tell God.

“We have that ability—we can take God's Word and when it's ingrained in us we can just take it and pick it up and pray it over ourselves and pray it over our loved ones.” — Jennifer Dukes LeeToday, Jennifer Dukes Lee joins Natalie Abbott to talk about Luke 6:45a, and you won't want to miss it.

She encourages us to love our future selves by investing right now in knowing and loving God—banking up deposits by reading and memorizing his Word. She relates how God brings his Word back to mind and uses it to transform us in hard seasons. He is our good, and he alone can give us the good we are longing for.This month's memory verse: "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart." — Luke 6:45aToday's guest: Jennifer Dukes Lee is the bestselling author of several books, including Growing Slow, It's All Under Control, and Stuff I'd Only Tell God.

When we come to know ourselves better, we come to know God better. More than any other spiritual practice, journaling has helped me connect with God and get honest with myself. To really look below the surface of my life and see what I'm thinking...what I'm feeling...what I'm actually believing. But we don't always know how to do that. In this episode, Jennifer Dukes Lee gives us a power tool to help us explore deep places with the Holy Spirit as our guide. Even if you've never journaled, you're going to enjoy this conversation. And I know you'll enjoy the interactive prompts in her new book, Stuff I'd Only Tell God: A Guided Journal of Courageous Honest, Obsessive Truth-Telling, and Beautifully Ruthless Self-Discovery. For as we get honest with God and give Him access to our hidden places, the Holy Spirit is able to radically change our lives. All because we've followed David's advice in Psalm 62:8. "Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."

She speaks from years' experience of pondering with the Lord, and wants to share what He has taught her. If you think you need to achieve and speed through life, this podcast is for you!

Have you heard my first episode with Jennifer Dukes Lee with her book, *It's All Under Control? We recorded it back in 2019. Honestly, she was my second interview ever on the podcast (Episode 3). It was really fun to talk with her since I was on her book launch team for that very book. This episode has so many practical tools to help you especially if you struggle with control and surrender. My word this year is surrender so it was so fun to go back and listen to this episode in light of that. One of my favorite quotes in this book as well as on this episode is “We surrender outcomes, but we don't surrender effort.” I loved that reminder, so I think you are going to learn so much from Jennifer. Note: Jennifer has been a guest three times on my podcast! The first time is this repeat episode we are listening to today about her book, *It's All Under Control Her second time on the podcast we talked about her book, *Growing Slow.

I am so excited to share with you about Jennifer Dukes Lee's new book: *Stuff I'd Only Tell God: A Guided Journal of Courageous Honesty, Obsessive Truth-Telling, and Beautifully Ruthless Self-Discovery. What I love about this book is that Jennifer asks some great questions throughout this book. This is not a typical Christian Living Book; instead, it is a book designed for self-reflection, self-discovery, and self-awareness. It was such a fun episode to record with Jennifer. We ask some of the light weight, fun questions and laughed. And then we did go deep, and I think you are really going to love what she has to share. Also, I am so excited for someone to win a copy of Jennifer's new book: *Stuff I'd Only Tell God.

It is no accident that our Spiritual Health series started with paying attention and ends with sharing what rumbles in our souls. Only when we wake up to what's bothering us on the inside can we pour it out to the Lord as David did in the psalms.  We must know ourselves – our fears, hopes, dreams, worries, nervous ticks, default coping mechanisms – so we can articulate them to God, not because He doesn't already know them but so we know ourselves in the light of His presence. Because developing the skill of pouring out what you're thinking and feeling is a practice that has laid dormant for many of us, I invited Jennifer Dukes Lee to the show.   Today, Jennifer walks us through: How journaling brings our stuff into the light, What holds us back from sharing our hearts with the Lord, And the two ways we can handle pain.   Quotes about how to pour out your heart through journaling “Journaling is really a voyage of self-discovery.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “Journaling really helps you clear out distressing throughs so that you can move forward with renewed peace.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “Journaling is an opportunity to meet God on the pages.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “What would you say to God if you were completely honest?” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “The psalms are unfiltered cries of people with broken hearts.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “Sometimes we don't want to share our hopes and dreams because to speak it out loud or put it on paper feels like you're setting yourself up for disappointment.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “Your honesty is safe with God.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “The most courageous thing you can do is be honest with yourself.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee   If you'd like to learn more about being honest with God about your dreams, listen in or read on: #45: Refresh your thought-life about your dreams, calling, and next steps with Sarah Birkbeck #88: What to do when you fear naming what you want [Fear Series] #135: Grace vs. Fear: When you worry you're selfish 4 necessary skills to wait well on your dream How we tragically misunderstand Jesus' command to deny ourselves   Grace In Real Life Podcast's 3rd Birthday Giveaway Win books, books, books, + $270 in fun Amazon money + awesome prizes!

Come to me all of you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Jesus famously said these words in Matthew 11. He urges His disciples to seek rest in Him, no matter the circumstance and no matter what the world defines as rest. How can we, as Christians, seek this same kind of rest from an unseen God? How can we practice true, Biblical rest and cultivate it in our families? In our homes? In this episode of Holy Hygge, Jamie is joined for one final conversation by Jennifer Dukes Lee on all things rest: what it is, why it acts as a tenet of hygge, and how to practically practice it as believers. About Jennifer: Jennifer Dukes Lee is the author of several best-selling books and Bible studies, including Growing Slow and It's All Under Control. A former metro news reporter, Jennifer still loves to chase a great story. Her favorite one of all: the Good News of Jesus Christ. Jennifer and her husband live on the fifth-generation Lee family farm in Iowa, where they raise crops, pigs and two beautiful humans. While she enjoys speaking at women's conferences across the country, you can usually find her at the neighborhood country church on Sunday mornings. Jennifer loves queso, Netflix binges, and singing too loudly to songs with great harmony. Most of all, she loves God. Once upon a time, she didn't believe in Jesus; now He's her best friend and CEO.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Running Fast & Growing Slow (ft. Joe Foster)The race to running shoe domination is a marathon, not a sprintOPENING QUOTE:“The registrar came back and said, "We've moved you to the A section." Why? He said, "Well everybody now knows that Reebok is a sports shoe and the animal is hardly known.—Joe FosterGUEST BIO:Joseph William Foster (Joe Foster) was born in 1935 in Bolton England with the same birthday 18th May, as his grandfather, also Joseph William Foster who had died 18 months earlier. Joe's grandfather was the founder of J W Foster & Sons (Athletic Shoes) Ltd and the inventor of the Spiked Running Shoe and the Trainer (Sneaker). Joe and his late brother Jeff were born into the J W Foster & family business, but on their return after 2 years away from home on National Service, they asked questions. The year was 1955 and the brothers saw a business still rooted in the 1930's. Their Father and Uncle were now operating the business and very much like another Sports Shoe company, spent more time feuding than collaborating. The result was that in 1958 Joe and Jeff left the Foster business to set up a new Sports Shoe company. The brothers founded Mercury Sports Footwear, which after 18 months they changed its name to REEBOK. Joe had been advised to protect their company's name by registering it. By 1965, Joe was on his way to the NSGA (National Sporting Goods of America) Show in Chicago, which was the start of many Global adventures and experiences that after 15 years brought him together with Paul Fireman and later many Stars of film and television.As the surviving Founder of Reebok, Joe still welcomes the opportunity to travel and recount those early stories from start-up to taking the company to a $4 billion business, overtaking Adidas & Nike to become the Worlds No. 1 sports brand. Joe has written his book Shoemaker to share his story and help inspire the next generation of budding entrepreneurs.Links:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[10:14] - “Amongst All These People, We Know Everything”Creating and relying on a great teamJoe Foster calls Reebok's ‘foundation' the acknowledgement that while he or someone else may not know a lot on their own, between all of the talent they had assembled, they could find the answer. Listening, learning, and being open to input from unexpected sources helped make Reebok the revolutionary company it became.[14:54] - Cutting Out the Middle ManWho needs retail?As Joe realized that hundreds of athletes were beginning to develop reputations as runners, he realized that he didn't need to be forming relationships with retailers— he needed to be forming relationships directly with athletes. This was a revolutionary approach that's an essential element of the sportswear and athletic footwear industries today.[26:43] - 11 Years to Cross the AtlanticOvercoming rejection through patience & force of willJoe and his team made crossover success in the U.S. a goal. But despite years of “pushing, pushing, pushing,” they hadn't made any headway. Then, running became a massive category of fitness in the United States, and Reebok broke through. Was this good luck? Of course. But persistence across eleven years of rejection put Reebok in the position to capitalize on that luck.[36:09] - The Courage to Pivot“We're a woman's company.”It might seem insane today, but there was a point when no one had considered making an athletic shoe specifically designed for women's feet shapes and sizes. Fortunately, Reebok wasn't afraid to pivot. Without so much as a hesitation, Reebok became a women-focused company and didn't look back. [37:53] - Make the Product Fit the CustomerA hard-earned lessonJoe learned that while the shoe makers were putting in the day-in and day-out work of creating products, marketing experts had value, too. When they insisted on lining the shoes with nylon despite its lack of breathability, they didn't just reach an impasse— they came up with a solution: the punched-in ventilation holes that are now an iconic staple of exercise shoes.RESOURCES:[1:31] Shoe Maker, by Joe Foster[2:29] History of Spiked Running Shoes[20:58] The Grey rhebokFollow Joe Foster:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterFollow Paul Epstein:Keynote Speaking WebsitePlaymakers PodcastThe Power of Playing OffenseLinkedInFacebookTwitterInstagramYoutubeSHOW PARTNER:The WHY InstituteAre you ready to find your ‘why'?

“Growing Slow” is not only the name of author Jennifer Dukes Lee's latest book but the topic of today's conversation. Living on a farm in rural Iowa, Jennifer and her husband loved the idea of leaving their fast-paced jobs to raise a family and run a farm. Far from the hustle and bustle they both had become accustomed to, she had no idea that stress, or “hurry sickness”, would ever again apply to her. Until during a routine visit to her doctor, who told her that she truly needed to make some changes. Enjoy listening to this episode today!

Listen in as Jennifer Dukes Lee teaches us how slow growth on social media is a good thing. Jennifer is an accidental farm girl and recovering hustle junkie who's here to help you un-hurry your heart. Growing Slow is literally the title of her latest book so I can't think of anyone better suited to boss us around on this topic. In this episode, we cover: Why slow growth is better than viral growth  Jennifer's slow growth through showing up daily Why you aren't falling behind if you're going slow How to build and – most importantly – keep healthy fences around your social media work What a productive winter (rest time) away from social media does for you   To get the full show notes, links mentioned in this episode, or to read the transcript head to my website: https://www.meganericson.com/blog/ep26-the-power-of-growing-slow-on-social-media

I don't know about you, but it feels like now that school is back in session I can finally exhale and breathe a little bit knowing there's going to be more routine in my days.  Maybe it was getting one ready for college, or mentally preparing for high school with my middle son, or the beginning of kindergarten with my youngest—but life has felt like a lot the last few months.  If you're feeling this same way, today's show with Jennifer Dukes Lee is for you. Jennifer shares with us a time when she was at a breaking point in her own life and realized the need to “un-hurry” her heart. She gave herself permission to slow down and wait for the better things that come only with slow growth and deeper connection with the Lord.  I love the practical advice she shares from her new book Growing Slow and how we can: stop living in hurriedness and instead rest in Jesus, trust the winter seasons in life to God even when we don't see his hand moving, find rest knowing that the small, slow things we do in parenting often produce big fruit in our kids' lives. I'll leave you with my favorite parenting quote from Jennifer: “In my most insecure moments as a mom, the only thing that ever gave me hope and guidance was the gospel.”  Amen and amen!  Don't miss this much-needed word for all of us taking a deep breath at the beginning of a new school year!

In this month's interview episode, we hang out with an author from who I have gleaned so much wisdom, Jennifer Dukes Lee! I read "It's All Under Control" back in August 2019 and since then, I have looked forward to her next book. Well, it's here, and let me tell y'all, it's a must-read for us recovering hustle junkies!Jennifer lives on the fifth-generation Lee family farm in Iowa, where she and her husband are raising crops, pigs, and two beautiful humans. She writes books, loves queso, and enjoys singing too loudly to songs with great harmony. Once upon a time, she didn't believe in Jesus; now he's her CEO. Tune into this episode to hear our conversation about trading unhealthy hustle for growing slow!| LINKS MENTIONED |⋒ Growing Slow book: https://amzn.to/2QJOMUI| CONNECT WITH JENNIFER |⋒ Jennifer's Instagram: @jenniferdukeslee / www.instagram.com/jenniferdukeslee/⋒ Jennifer's Website: www.jenniferdukeslee.com/

In a culture that embraces hurry, and “busy” is the norm, today's episode with Jennifer Dukes Lee invites us an alternative…one of strategically “growing slow.”  Jennifer discovered these lessons after years of fast-paced, high stress living – a season that led her to a breaking point. Jennifer says that the lessons she shares in her book, Growing Slow, are the result of unlearning what the world taught her about success and finding the courage to walk in a world that asked her to never stop running.  Wow!  I needed this conversation at least as much as anyone. I think you'll find Jennifer's words and heart to be a huge encouragement!  Be sure to visit show notes… www.monicaswanson.com/episode-118

Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly as we learn from a gracious and kind accidental farm girl about how to take our foot off the gas to our crazy life and grow slow. Lisa-Jo explains that Jennifer "charts a path for us out of the pressures of bigger, harder, faster, and into a more rooted way of living where the growth of good things is deep and lasting." The first chapter is entitled: "Permission to be Unspectacular." Full stop. Jennifer gives us hope to live a simpler life by harnessing what's not working anymore with spiritual insight. She gives possible, manageable, bite-sized morsels of truths to chew slowly in order to learn a new path that gives more life, more peace and more deep soul rest.

Choosing farm life was a difficult shift for Jennifer Dukes Lee, author of Growing Slow. But over time, as she watched the seasons of planting, growing, harvest and fallow, she began to see the benefits of internal seasons too. Sharing wisdom from creation and personal experience, Jennifer lays out the compelling reasons that we need to reconsider our go-faster-lives.

Join Kathi and her friend Jennifer Dukes Lee as they unpack the concept of growing slow. Do you ever feel the desire to un-hurry the pace of your life and your heart? Jennifer finally started asking a different question and learned to do just that by applying a few simple yet meaningful things to everyday life. Listen in to find out how you can grow slow and incorporate these simple things into your life: Setting the tone for your day Enjoying nature Growing and caring for things   We Long to Make a Break from the Fast Pace of Life … But if we're honest, we're afraid of what we'll miss if we do. Yet when going big and hustling hard leaves us stressed, empty, and out of sorts, perhaps this can be our cue to step into a far more satisfying, sustainable pace. In this crafted, inspiring read, beloved author Jennifer Dukes Lee offers a path to unhurried living by returning to the rhythm of the land and learning the ancient art of Growing Slow. Jennifer was once at breaking point herself, and tells her story of rude awakening to the ways her chosen lifestyle of running hard, scaling fast, and the neverending chase for results was taking a toll on her body, heart, and soul. But when she finally gave herself permission to believe it takes time to grow good things, she found a new kind of freedom. With eloquent truths and vivid storytelling, Jennifer reflects on the lessons she learned from living on her fifth-generation family farm and the insights she gathered from the purposeful yet never rushed life of Christ. Growing Slow charts a path out of the pressures of bigger, harder, faster, and into a more rooted way of living where the growth of good things is deep and lasting. Following the rhythms of the natural growing season, Growing Slow will help you: Find the true relief that comes when you stop running and start resting in Jesus Learn practices for unhurrying your heart and mind every day Let go of the pressure and embrace the small, good things already bearing fruit in your life And engage slow growth through reflection prompts and simple application steps

Today I'm here with my brand new friend, Jennifer Dukes Lee (https://jenniferdukeslee.com/), who just released her newest book called “Growing Slow: Lessons on Unhurrying Your Heart from an Accidental Farm Girl.” She was previously a crime and politics reporter chasing headlines, but found that even when she left her career behind and moved to a scenic farm, her heart was still hurried. We talk about hurry sickness, taking a “Hustle Detox,” and what the natural rhythms of seasons can teach us about our own growth. Her book was a gift for me to read and I'm excited to share it with you! Growing Slow: Lessons on Unhurrying Your Heart from an Accidental Farm Girl (https://jenniferdukeslee.com/growingslow/) Jennifer's Other Books (https://jenniferdukeslee.com/books/) Patient Trust Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability – and that it may take a very long time. And so, I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually – let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Don't try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give Our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ

How do we assess our hurried hearts and un-hurry them? How do we actually live out the season we are in without wishing we were already 3 seasons ahead? I think we start with my guests today's new book. Jennifer Dukes Lee is on to talk about her new book GROWING SLOW, these are seasons and lessons Jennifer has walked out and she is leading us in the unhurried lifestyle. Y'all this conversation was so fun, I found myself giggling but then amen-ing the truths she would speak.Let’s start slowing down! Grab Jennifer’s new book today! I know you will love it!! To make it super simple for you I have put it in my amazon storefront under books recommendations

Hebrews 3: 12 & 13 Amplified ~ Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart (which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart) that turns away from the living God. But continually encourage one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today' (and there is an opportunity), so that none of you will be hardened (into settled rebellion) by the deceitfulness of sin (it's cleverness, delusive glamour, and sophistication).   If you and I will take care - really, be careful and take the time to TAKE CARE - that in none of us is a wicked, unbelieving heart, but instead will encourage one another as long as there is an opportunity (and lemme tell ya, there is always an opportunity!) then the promise is that we won't be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.    Now right where it says to take care that we don't have a wicked, unbelieving heart… that's important. What does wicked mean? Hey it can mean all those things we think of when we hear that word wicked (but not the play). It can also be things that seem small in our own eyes but to the Lord are downright wicked. Wicked covers a lot of ground. And unbelieving? I really do feel like I am in the freedom in Jesus business. Sharing that and throwing the truth the hope of that around like confetti all day every day, that is truly my jam. And so I see those words, an unbelieving heart, and I just wince inside. It comes at us so often, it takes root so easily, this unbelieving heart… but whatever we are not believing God for, right there, that's where we are missing out. We lose out on His promises and His peace and even His grace when we are overcome with an unbelieving heart.    Always keep your heart soft toward the Holy Spirit. It's not tricky - it just can be as simple as praying and asking that the Spirit of the Living God that indwells you will keep your heart soft and tender and pliable and not let it harden. Then pray like that again tomorrow and so on. He is so faithful. He loves to answer that prayer!    An un-hardened heart trusts the Lord and relies on Him - rather than refusing to rely on Him, it chooses to rely on Him. Over and over and over again. Simple? Yes. Hard? Also yes.    A hardened heart will turn away from the Living God. the living God. Turns to what? Well, to something dead. That's the only other option available to us if I am totally honest with you.   This verse tells us the truth that sin is deceitful - we need to stop forgetting that! Sin  Is  Deceitful. Sin Is Clever. Sin has a unique delusive glamour. It's literally so glamorous that it is delusional and leaves it's victim, it's prey, delusional. And it even says that sin is sophisticated. It is cultured and wise to the ways of the world and elegant and refined and will come at us like a lady or a gentleman, not a ruffian.   The promise that all those things I just mentioned - they will not WILL NOT happen to you or to me. Just by encouraging one another continually.    Happy joyful optimistic people are encouraging people who love others well by means of that encouragement. Plain and simple. Wanna be happier? Try this. Wanna be done with that hardened heart? Try this. It works. It works wonders.    Okay, let me just read the book review I wrote Jennifer Dukes Lee's new book Growing Slow and it does have a Bible study available with it that would be great for a small group - here it is:   If you've been to my website and taken a little look-see under the “FAVORITES” tab, then you already know Jennifer Dukes Lee has made my very short, “short list”. And that is kind of a big deal, since I am an avid reader and a complete book-a-holic. I am usually reading dozens of books at any one time, with a current nightstand stack totaling - ahem - 33 books. To have an author make the cut and land among my favorites, well, that's one special author. And Jennifer's newest book, “Growing Slow”, is one special book.   Let me start by saying that if you are part of the go-girl-go, hustle & don't you dare let off the gas culture, this book could very well be the ideal book for you right now in this exact place. You may have a deep need for this book's content in a myriad of ways that you are not the slightest bit aware of. I speak truth, my friend. Often our greatest needs are the ones we don't know are there, lurking just under the surface and holding the most potential for harm. If you are a go-get-'em type of gal, give this book a chance. It may change your life. (I am not really exaggerating… this is a life-change type of book.)   But if you are more of a slow-down and enjoy the moment type of woman, well then the book “Growing Slow” will be like a supportive friend. You know the one - she is always there, fully in your corner, ready to reaffirm what you already know but may sort of wonder about from time to time. Everybody needs a friend like that. Or a book like that.   I could share a whole slew of quotes and inundate you with Jennifer's words, and there wouldn't be a single thing in the world wrong with that. But I feel a need to share something personal with you; the why behind my passion for this book.   I've got some health problems. One in particular that looms far larger than the others combined. Several years ago, I got a rough diagnosis of two problems with the electrical aspect of my heart, and a couple of other issues that make treatment life-threatening. My diagnosis: heart failure that is “tricky & difficult to treat” with a focus on “QOL” (quality of life). Not what a Type-A, always working and doing and excited about the next phase of life lady expected to hear.   And so, my good and loving God has been speaking to my heart (my spiritual heart as well as my physical heart) about slowing down. Taking it day by day. Enjoying each moment. Letting the little things in life become the big things. And to stop worrying about & working toward G-R-O-W-T-H.   Along comes this book, “Growing Slow”, by one of my all-time favorite writers, Jennifer Dukes Lee, at that life intersection where I am fighting this forced slow down in my life while also attempting to submit all-the-things to the Lord...and, so, yeah. This book means quite a lot to me right now. More than I can express in mere words.   My heart is so grateful to be in this place right now. So thankful for this book right now.   And if your heart could use some of this same stuff today, get a copy of “Growing Slow”. It's going on my nightstand & on my website under “FAVORITES”, right where it belongs. Have a wonderful day - go do some encouraging which will also be some heart softening which will of course bless you in really remarkable ways!   You are welcome to find me on Instagram @janlburt Praying Through the Storm online prayer retreat group The Power of God's Will - 40 Days of God's Promises Devotional on Amazon   See ya back here next week for episode 64 of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show podcast!

When I put into place some pauses in my life, really changed things and adopted what I call a slow growth mindset, that has been transformational for me. 2. Slow progress is still progress.  3. There's always something sitting out there as if it's a milestone. I don't know who created these, but there really are no set milestones. I think when we strip all of that away. And  if we go our own way and grow our own way. We will experience a lot of freedom. That chips away at the hurry that's hanging around our hearts. 4. In our hurry, we're really not setting down the roots that we need to hold us firm when the storms inevitably come. 5. Without sustainable living as human beings we're gonna ruin the fields that are our lives and our hearts in these places where God's planting seeds in us. In this episode I answer these questions: 1.

Jennifer Dukes Lee is the author of several books, including the forthcoming title Growing Slow, which releases May 11. She loves to write, embarrass her kids, and listen to 80's music. "Jesus saved my life once upon a time, and then he kept doing it every single day since then," she writes on her website. "That's why I am here: because of grace. I want to testify to his faithfulness and to make his great name known." Her new book is all about cutting out the busy to embrace to rest. She and Mallory talk about the value of rest of doing things slow as well as what Scripture says about it. "Jesus was never in a hurry," she says. "He never communicated an ethic of 'go big or go home.' He loves women. He empowers women, but it was not a 'Girl Boss' message."

She writes books, loves queso, and enjoys singing too loudly to songs with great harmony. Once upon a time, she didn't believe in Jesus; now he's her CEO. Key Points from Our Conversation: Jennifer has lived a life of "go big or go home," but the problem was more than what was on her calendar, it was her hurried heart. A change in her physical condition required a mindset shift. Once she embraced the mindset, growing slow became her superpower. We don’t always cheer people who grow slow, but overnight success is a myth. Seeing life through the lens of a farmer changed Jennifer's understanding of what it means to grow slow. She paid attention to what God was doing in different seasons. We get distracted with upward growth, but what will anchor us through drought and storms are our deep roots. We'd like to stay in the three phases of planting, growth, and harvest, but we all experience winters of the soul. We weren’t designed to grow all the time. Winter is important to the land and it makes it better in the spring. We should allow winter to do its work in us, too. 2020 has been a season of prolonged winter. Before we jump back into a season of growth, we should consider what this winter has taught us. Growing slow forces buried issues to the surface much like the winter forces rocks to the surface of fields. What if we allowed winter to do the work in us, lifting the burdens that we carry and then allow God to "pick rock" from our lives? We treat time as an enemy, but God and time are friends. We’re not falling behind, we just don’t see it the way God does. We constantly run toward new milestones, but never enjoy what's already growing. Validate the small things that are growing where God has placed you. “Hurry hangs around your heart." There aren’t easy steps to growing slow - it’s a mindset shift that takes time to work its way to the roots. Sustainable agriculture makes the land beneficial for generations. We can be sustainable people by thinking longer-term about how we are impacting future generations. It's the little things we do as parents that help establish deep roots for our kids. It can seem impossible to grow slow, but you can slow down without losing your edge. Growing slow eliminates multitasking and helps you laser focus on your priorities. 3 Practical Steps to Enjoy the Season You're In: Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier and set the tone of your day. Stop checking the phone when you're away from work or in the middle of activities. Knowing about what you need to do when you are unable to do it creates a hurried mind. Embrace the concept of the slow food movement by eating mindfully, giving your brain time to tell your body you’re full and enjoy the process of eating.

This month on the show, we welcome our friend and special guest, Jennifer Dukes Lee. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Jennifer around the topic of her newest book, Growing Slow: Lessons on Un-Hurrying Your Heart from an Accidental Farm Girl. Growing Slow is a message that was born after years of stress and fast-paced living. Listen in as we discuss how this way of living caught up with Jennifer in a dramatic way and how her life changed as a result. You'll be so glad you did!

 In this episode of the Rhythms for Life Podcast, we talk to 5th generation farm owner and author, Jennifer Dukes Lee, about the fruits that come from slowing down and to embrace that God is always planting and growing seeds in us.

What if your hurry came to a screeching halt and you discovered in the process that the race to the never-ending, always-moving finish was actually doing you harm? Would you take that as a wake-up and choose to live life differently? Or would you grumble and complain, fighting against the pressure to be still and slow down?Well, for some of us, an abrupt change in the way we do life is simply hypothetical. For others, it has been a firsthand experience, where the unexpected diagnosis, unwanted betrayal, and unanticipated season of change forced our hand at evaluating priorities and redefining values.For Jennifer Dukes Lee, her experience necessitated such a shift in thinking and living on more than one occasion, leading her to discover the beauty of growing slow. On this episode, I am thrilled to have Jennifer join us again (yes, she's a favorite returning guest) to share her wisdom captured in her latest book Growing Slow (releasing May 2021). No matter what season you find yourself in today, this episode will cause you to hit pause, take notes, and soak in the hope of what is to come when God's works in the slow growing of your life.Jennifer Dukes Lee lives on the fifth-generation Lee family farm in Iowa, where she and her husband are raising crops, pigs, and two beautiful humans.

Jennifer and I first met over email when she rejected my first book proposal. And then we met over zoom where she rejected my second book proposal. Talk about growing slow! I gave her a hard time about that during our conversation. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. And, she has learned a lot about what is looks like to burnout despite great boundaries. She has learned firsthand what it looks like to slowly watch your dreams become reality. She is the author of multiple books, including her latest, Growing Slow: Lessons on Un-hurrying Your Heart From an Accidental Farm Girl. I don’t know about you but I always want to grow fast. I want instant everything. But sometimes the pursuit of the fast and furious lifestyle leaves us empty, and just, well, tired.

How many times in the past month have you felt overwhelmed, hurried, afraid you were falling behind before you even started? I'm right there with you, friend. That's why I know today's episode, From Hurried Heart to Growing Slow with Jennifer Dukes Lee is just the message God wants us to hear. We talk about Jennifer's journey from agnosticism to faith in Christ, what it takes to put the brakes on a hurried life, how a Growing Slow year on their fifth-generation family farm provides life lessons for all of us, and how that remarkable life we're chasing after? Well, it's the one we're already living in. I know what Jennifer shares today will inspire, encourage, and challenge you, so listen in while I have a chat with Jennifer Dukes Lee... I hope what Jennifer shared blessed your soul and refreshed your spirit. We all need reminding that God's timing is not just a catch-phrase, it's a purposeful path for our part in Kingdom work. It's time to trade in the fast-paced life for a Growing Slow with grace kind of life. If you know some friends who would benefit from hearing this message, would you share this episode with them? Favorite Quotes from the show... "It takes time to grow good things.""We need winter seasons to get those burdens that we carry, those rocks in the soil of our heart, to have God heave them upward, that He could pick them up and take them away so that come spring, we can begin to be productive again.""...for whatever reason, God created one-fourth of a growing season here, where we live, to be something that looks dead because that is the time when He is healing us."Jennifer Dukes Lee Are you ready to Grow Slow?

In this new episode of The RevolutionFI Podcast, Tim discovers from Pat Flynn why Matt D'Avella is growing slow. “So, the question is this: How can 50+ folks like us, honest and hard-working, how do we manage our current responsibilities and still plan for retirement? 401ks alone won't be enough and we don't have 40 years to save, so how do we leverage our experience and wisdom to gain financial independence? That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answers. My name is Tim, and welcome to the Revolution.
