We live in a hurried age, that's obvious. And yet we still fail to grasp how imperative slowing down and living in unhurriedness is for everything that matters in life. In this episode, we explore why and how slowing down matters so much and what it opens up for us. And we explore six practices that you can engage to live in unhurriedness, even if your calendar remains full and busy. Because there's great hope: you can be quite busy and yet become and remain absolutely unhurried in all things.

Leitura bíblica do dia: Mateus 25:31-40 Plano de leitura anual: 1 Samuel 19–21; Lucas 11:29-54 Seu nome é Spencer. Mas todo mundo o chama de “Spence”. Ele foi campeão estadual de atletismo no Ensino Médio; frequentou uma universidade de prestígio com bolsa de estudos integral. Hoje, esse respeitado engenheiro químico mora numa das maiores cidades dos EUA. Mas se você lhe perguntasse quais as suas maiores realizações até o momento, ele não mencionaria seus méritos. Spencer contaria com entusiasmo sobre as viagens que faz à Nicarágua, de tempos em tempos, para verificar como estão as crianças e os professores do programa de reforço escolar que ajudou a estabelecer numa das áreas mais pobres do país. E lhe diria como sua vida foi enriquecida por servi-los. “Ao menor destes.” Muitos usam essa frase de várias maneiras, mas Jesus a usou para descrever aqueles que, de acordo com os padrões do mundo, pouco ou nada têm a nos oferecer em troca do nosso serviço. São homens, mulheres e crianças que o mundo muitas vezes ignora ou esquece completamente. No entanto, são exatamente os que Jesus eleva a um status tão belo ao dizer: “quando fizeram isso ao menor destes […], foi a mim que o fizeram” (MATEUS 25:40). Você não precisa ter tanto prestígio para compreender o que Cristo quis dizer: servir “ao menor destes” é o mesmo que servi-lo. Para isso, o coração disposto é realmente necessário. John Blase

John Blase is an author, poet, and former pastor. He loves questions more than answers. As he states on his website ..."My credo, if it can even be called such a thing, rides piggyback on the slithering black curved back of the lovely question mark. I don't have many answers, but I do have questions…"

Pastor-turned-poet and literary agent John Blase tells his story of how an unforeseen season of change disrupted not only his career and family, but also his identity and lens on faith.

In this conversation, Sarah and John discuss what it looks like to wade through grief, embodied prayer, having compassion for our younger selves, and more.

John Blase is a former pastor turned writer and editor. He spends his mornings writing poetry, his days as a developmental editor for Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers in Colorado Springs, and his evenings with his wife and three kiddos (when they’re home from college!). He preached for over a decade and has brought a pastoring stance to his writer’s pen. His books include The Jubilee: Poems; Know When To Hold ‘Em: The High Stakes Game of Fatherhood; Touching Wonder: Recapturing the Awe of Christmas; and All is Grace: A Ragamuffin Memoir (with Brennan Manning). We chat with John about when he gets his creative work done and how he switches from writing someone else’s story back to writing his own -- and it wouldn’t be a discussion of faith and writing today without a brief dip into the Enneagram.

Today we talk with poet John Blase and also celebrate a book birthday with a previous guest on Poet Kind! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/poetkindpodcast/support
John D. Blase is a gentle, wise soul, and he just published a book of poetry, titled: The Jubilee: Poems. His words help me want to love better, stay grounded in what matters, and use my words to heal and restore, instead of divide and conquer. He's also the author of Know When to Hold 'Em: The High Stakes Game of Fatherhood, Touching Wonder: Recapturing the Awe of Christmas, and he co-wrote of All is Grace: A Ragamuffin Memoir, with Brennan Manning. We talked poetry, of course, but we also talked about writing in general, about the importance of civil discourse, Brennan Manning, and what it means that our words form us. You can purchase The Jubliee: Poems here, and you can connect with John on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and on his website. The music on this episode comes with permission from one of my favorite singer/songwriters, the brilliant Sara Groves. The song is called Floodplain.

That value is going to show that you’re really keeping your community in mind and you’re creating content for them.” Kayla “Everybody has something that they can bring to the table that no one else can. Nobody else is going to be able to do exactly what you do and bring your perspective and experience to your creative work.” Kayla On silencing that critical voice that says you have nothing to offer: “The best way to silence that is by not only creating what you do but launching that creative work.” “What you do and what you launch is going to inspire other people.” Kayla On passion projects: “Just get started on it, fall in love with it, and launch it.” Kayla “There’s room to have passion projects that you hold dear to you that nobody else necessarily has to see, but it can still have value to you, and that makes it still valuable of your time and effort.” Kayla “Just because you’re not putting something out there for likes or tweets or to sell doesn’t mean that it’s not worth going after in your own time.” Ashley “It’s just so important to keep going after what you’re passionate about. Even if it’s something different from what you do professionally, I really believe it will still help you professionally because it’s going to flex those creative muscles and make sure you’re always looking at things in a different way.” Kayla “I think everything you do influences the other parts of your life. I don’t think you can separate your creative self from your ‘real life’ self.” Abbigail “Part of what we have to do as creative people is make time to honor that little part of the self that wants to create, that wants to do something just for the sake of doing something.” Abbigail “It’s worth fighting the feeling that creative work isn’t worth your time because what you’re doing is really worthwhile, even if you can’t see it or measure it.” Ashley “The numbers may feel good and make you feel warm and fuzzy for a little bit, but what’s going to make you feel so, so fulfilled online is having a group of people that are likeminded who are rallying around you and who support just about everything you do.” Kayla “When you’re investing your time in your people, they’re going to invest back in you.” Kayla “As much as we can talk about connection, there’s also the sad reality that we all do, in some way shape or form, have to make money---hopefully doing what we love. Having a community that’s set up to respond well to your product is going to have those people become not only loyal community members but also loyal community members that convert when you do offer new products or launch something new.” Abbigail “Give yourself the excuse to play around, have some conversations, and see where you enjoy being and where your audience enjoys being. That’s when you can start to make those one-on-one connections and have them go from just an audience member to a community member.” Kayla “I think when overconsumption happens, that’s our cue to shift ourselves from consuming a lot of content to creating more content.” Kayla “You can’t invest well into your community if you’re not investing in yourself as well.” Kayla “Anytime we start to second-guess something, we want to take some time to make sure we’re moving in the right direction.” Kayla “None of us can be at 110% at all times. It can feel like everyone else online has it all figured out, but none of us really do. We’re all just trying to do the best we can with the energy we have.” Kayla “Make awesome things.” Kayla “As long as we make sure that we’re always making room for creativity, that’s going to make room for everything else that we hold really dear to us.” Kayla “Writing short-form can help anyone who wants to improve their long-form writing.” Ashley Mini Book Club The Anatomy of Being by Shinji Moon Spoken word poetry by Sierra DeMulder: http://www.sierrademulder.com/ Reading Novalis in Montana by Melissa Kwasny Online poet John Blase: www.thebeautifuldue.com
