Episode Description: Fresh off Vision Sunday and the launch of our new series through James, host Matt Summers sits down with Pastor Phil EuBank to ask a grounding question: What is your life actually becoming? Moving from last series' focus on researched faith to a year dedicated to reclaimed faith, Matt and Phil unpack what it means to follow Jesus in the real pace, devices, habits, and demands of Bay Area life. Together, they explore the life of James—someone who had extreme proximity to Jesus yet almost missed Him—and wrestle with the tension between spiritual formation and modern fragmentation. This conversation shifts from playful insights on physical journals versus digital overload to a deep, diagnostic look at James 1. Tune in as they break down: The difference between an interruption and a distraction. What it means to be "double-minded" in a culture of endless backup plans. Why staying at the mirror of God's Word long enough transforms us from spiritually educated to spiritually activated. What an "Undivided Follower" actually looks like on a normal Monday—whether you're feeling on autopilot, harbor honest skepticism, or feel spiritually crowded out. Grab your Reclaiming Journal, bend the spine, and join us for an honest look at recovering the Way of Jesus in the place we actually live.

This guided meditation is for anyone who feels like the only one who hasn't got it together, using box breathing (4-4-4-4) to calm the nervous system before a set of gentle affirmations that put the measuring stick down for good.

You'll be guided through steady box breathing, then a golden-light visualisation and a set of affirmations to help you feel calm, grounded, and enough exactly as you are. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Cold Open: The Only One Who Hasn't Got It Together* 01:00 – Box Breathing (4-4-4-4)* 05:00 – Golden Light Affirmations* 09:00 – 3 Daily Caring Tips* 10:00 – Outro & Anchored 

James 2 attacks the sin of partiality—treating the rich better than the poor. In our context, this is "networking" vs. "friendship." We tend to be "hurried" with people who can't help us and "unhurried" with people who can advance us. James says this is incompatible with the Way. A true friend creates space for the marginalized, the awkward, and the person who can offer nothing in return. This is "Reclaiming the Table." Text Our Team (650) 600-0402 | Connect With Us

Welcome back to Rest and Restore. This is your hour, set aside for soft, unhurried peace. There is nothing to chase, nothing to finish, nowhere you need to arrive. You are already here, and here is enough. Through gentle breathing, a slow body scan, and a quiet walk through an imagined wooded grove and wildflower meadow, this hour invites you to release urgency and return to stillness. Clara Berg guides you in a whispered, calm voice through every softening of the jaw, every release of the shoulders, every letting-go of the day's weight. Let this be the hour where you finally, gently, set everything down.Clara Berg is your companion through body, breath, and landscape. She leads you from a slow arrival scan through the crown of the head to the soles of the feet, then into a quiet grove clearing where you rest on an ancient stone, and onward through a wildflower meadow to a wide, soft horizon. Along the way, you are invited to draw in soft golden light with each breath and release what no longer serves you with each exhale. Every chapter is a small homecoming to the body, the moment, and the self.0:00 — Welcome and Arrival3:00 — Softening the Body Scan15:00 — The Peaceful Grove28:00 — The Clearing and the Ancient Stone38:00 — Walking the Wildflower Meadow48:00 — Returning from the Landscape55:00 — Gentle Closing and GratitudeRest well.

What if your morning didn’t begin with hurry, but with holy attention? In this Unhurried Living favorite, Alan Fadling shares how he begins his day with God through simple, grounded rhythms that open space for presence, listening, and grace. What began years ago as a “quiet time” has matured into something more relational—a daily meeting with the living God. In this episode, Alan walks through his morning flow, including silence, Scripture, singing the psalms, prayer for others, and reading spiritual classics like The Philokalia. These practices are not about performance or pressure. They are invitations—ways of remembering God, receiving his love, and entering the day rooted in peace rather than driven by urgency.

Through 2 Corinthians 8–9, we discover that generosity isn't rooted in guilt but in grace, isn't simply about money but about worship, and isn't an obligation but an overflow of the gospel.If you've ever wrestled with trusting God, wondered why generosity matters, or wanted your life to have an eternal impact — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

What if the Holy Spirit is not distant or confusing—but closer than you think? In this replay episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling sits down with pastor and author Tyler Staton to explore what it means to grow in discernment and recognize God’s voice through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Tyler’s book The Familiar Stranger, this conversation invites us beyond ideas about God into a lived, relational experience with him. Many leaders sense a gap between what Scripture describes about the Spirit’s power and what they experience in daily life. Together, Alan and Tyler gently explore how that gap can begin to close—not through striving, but through growing familiarity with God’s voice, learning to discern what is truly from him, and opening ourselves to a more vibrant, Spirit-led life. Whether you feel curious, uncertain, or quietly hungry for more, this conversation offers a hopeful path forward.

What if greatness isn't found in being served—but in serving others?This week, Pastor Gregg concludes our Unhurried series by looking at one of the most powerful moments in Jesus' ministry: washing His disciples' feet. Through John 13, we discover how Jesus completely redefines greatness, why secure people are free to serve, and how love is revealed through humble action. In this message, learn why following Jesus means picking up a towel before pursuing a crown, and how ordinary acts of service become extraordinary reflections of the gospel.If you've ever struggled with pride, sought recognition, or wondered what true greatness looks like in God's Kingdom — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

What if the growth you're praying for is found in the people God has placed around you?This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring the biblical practice of community through Acts 2. In this message, we discover why following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey, how authentic community shapes our faith, and why healthy disciples grow best alongside other believers.

Where do you run when life becomes difficult? Many people run to social media, relationships, success, entertainment, money, or simply distraction, but the writer of Psalm 119 runs somewhere else.This week, Pastor Rohan Thompson from Deeper Church helps us explore how engaging with God's Word can transform our minds, hearts, and actions. 

Your emotional detachment might be quietly wounding the people you love most. In PART 2 of our Father's Day LOOK-BACK, Jeff resurfaces five more conversations that hit different the second time around. ✅ Why your kids can feel when you've checked out emotionally ✅ How to stop pointing your kids to yourself as the source of life ✅ The dad who never raised his voice and what it did to his son ✅ What "unhurried presence" actually looks like in everyday moments ✅ The hard truth about emotional regulation every dad needs to hear SUMMARY In Part 2 of this Father's Day look-back series, Jeff Zaugg resurfaces five more powerful conversations from the past dad year, featuring Jeremy Pryor, Ted Cunningham, Pastor Tim Timberlake, Mac Lake, and Seth Dahl. The clips cover a dad's superpower of emotional detachment and how it can quietly wound the people he loves most, the faulty input-output theory of parenting and why God is the only true source of life, the transformative power of tone and speaking to the king in your child instead of the fool, the gift of unhurried presence and what it looks like to truly savor your kids, and the hard truth that a man who can't regulate his emotions forces his family to do it for him. This episode is a flyover packed with activation, challenge, and the kind of dad wisdom that sticks. KEY QUOTES "My kids can actually feel that. Like, if something were to happen to me, I think dad would be the least affected." — Jeremy Pryor, Ep. 415 "My source is Jesus, not you." — Ted Cunningham, Ep. 417 "In us we have both a fool and a king. The one that you address is the one that will respond." — Pastor Tim Timberlake, Ep. 424 "A posture of unhurried presence. So often we are present with our kids, but we're not present with our kids." — Mac Lake, Ep. 435 "A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him." — Seth Dahl, Ep. 429 TAKEAWAYS Your emotional detachment is a superpower that can become a weapon. Dads are wired to disconnect under pressure, and that's often a gift. But when that same skill gets used to keep your family at arm's length, your kids feel it. The question isn't how attached you feel. It's whether they feel attached to you. You were never meant to be the source. Pouring into your kids so they pour back into you is a trap. Your job, according to Deuteronomy 6, is to point them every single day to the only true source of life. Fire yourself. Fire your kids. God in heaven is the source. Tone is one of the greatest gifts a dad can give. Pastor Tim Timberlake's father never raised his voice, never disciplined from anger or frustration, and the love in his tone did the convicting. Your size, your volume, your first response, those things mark your kids. Speak to the king in them, not the fool. Unhurried presence is a posture, not a schedule. Mac Lake leaves adult conversations to throw a football for 60 minutes if that's what his grandkids want. The shift is simple but hard: let your kids be the thing that matters most in the moment, not an interruption to what actually matters. Emotional self-control is a fruit your family gets to eat. When you're getting triggered by your six-year-old, you're not parenting. You're asking them to regulate you. The Holy Spirit wants to grow self-control in you so your family is nourished by it. Your heart is upstream to everything in your home.

What if the reason you're struggling to hear God isn't that He isn't speaking, but because there's too much noise?This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring the practice of solitude and why Jesus repeatedly withdrew to lonely places before stepping into ministry. In this message, we discover how solitude creates space for intimacy with God, clarity for our calling, and strength for the mission ahead. Learn why getting alone with God isn't about escaping responsibility, but preparing for it, and how slowing down may be the very thing your soul needs most.If you've been overwhelmed by distractions, struggling to hear God's voice, or feeling spiritually exhausted — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

Pull up a chair. It's 1951. The linen is crisp, the coffee is strong, and you and I have nowhere to be for at least an hour. This episode is inspired by Part 3 of The Misadventures of Madame J: Chortler on a Train, and three things it made me think about for all of us. Three stylish missions this week: Eat one meal alone. Unhurried. No phone. Order exactly what you want. Slow down for five minutes and pay attention to your surroundings. Notice the stylish clues hiding in plain sight. Write down the rules you've been living by and ask yourself. Which ones are actually serving you? There's also a stylish clue hidden in Part 3. Did you catch it?

What if the thing controlling your life is the very thing God wants to use to draw you closer to Him?This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring the spiritual practice of fasting and why it has been a vital rhythm for followers of Jesus throughout history. Looking at Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, we discover how fasting trains us to say no to our desires, strengthens us for spiritual battle, and sharpens our focus on God. In this message, we learn that fasting isn't about earning God's favor—it's about creating space for deeper dependence on Him and learning to hunger for God more than anything else.If you've ever felt distracted, spiritually stagnant, or controlled by desires you struggle to overcome — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

What if the power you're looking for isn't found in trying harder—but in praying first?This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring one of the most essential rhythms of the Christian life: prayer. Through Acts 4, we see how the early Church responded to opposition, pressure, and cultural resistance—not with fear, panic, or compromise, but with prayer. In this message, we discover how prayer fuels the mission of God, why boldness flows from being with Jesus, and how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary believers to faithfully live on mission in a world pushing against the gospel.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the darkness around you, exhausted from carrying burdens in your own strength, or unsure how to stay faithful in a hostile culture — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

What if the answer to your exhaustion isn't doing less—but drawing closer to Jesus?This week, Pastor Gregg kicks off our Unhurried series by exploring the biblical rhythm of Sabbath and Jesus' invitation to find true rest. In this message, we discover why our culture's pace is leaving us spiritually dry, emotionally drained, and disconnected from God, and how Jesus offers something deeper than a vacation, a better schedule, or an escape.If you've been carrying burdens, running on empty, or struggling to slow down and be present with God — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

In a world that moves quickly, it's easy to live at a pace that leaves our hearts hurried and distracted. In this episode, I'm sharing reflections from a slower season away and what the Lord has been teaching me about the pace of my days. It's easy to fill every quiet space with noise and constant input. But when I look at the life of Jesus, I see something different. I see presence. Unhurried conversations. Intentional time with people. Quiet moments in prayer. The pace of our days doesn't just affect our schedules. It affects our souls. We'll talk about how ordinary life is where God meets us, how our daily patterns shape our hearts, and how small, intentional choices help us reclaim presence in a distracted world. Looking at the example of Christ and the encouragement of Psalm 1, we'll be reminded that reclaiming ordinary life doesn't require dramatic changes. It begins with small steps of faithfulness right where God has placed us.

We tend to live our lives in a dizzying rush, leaping from one task to the next without stopping to slow down and focus on or enjoy what's in front of us. This rapid lifestyle is typical in America, but it's not what God intended for us. Alan Fadling is the president and founder of Unhurried Living and the author of An Unhurried Leader - The Lasting Fruit of Daily Influence. He highlights the unhurried and unflustered ministry of Jesus Christ during His time on Earth. Jesus was never in a hurry. He always stopped to have conversations with those He met along the way. Jesus waited patiently for the Father to reveal His will and to open doors of opportunity in His time. We must wait on God and develop a sense of unhurried patience in life. “Don't rush ahead of God,” says Alan. Focus on what's important: the people around you and your precious relationships.TAKEAWAYSUnhurried leadership is more fruitful and more meaningful than hurried leadershipFruitfulness includes investing in the people that God placed around you and connecting with themWe can have a life of influence without positions of responsibilityJesus exhibited a pace of prayer - unhurried and uninhibited by an impulse to rush and none of the fruits of the spirit work in a hurry

Does the hustle of the Christmas season distract you from the Savior who was born for you? Take a deep breath with Shona Murray, Kristyn Getty, and Nancy as they remind you what it means to be unhurried—during the holidays and all year long.

Do you ever worry that you're behind—that everyone else is further along, more successful, more settled, or more certain than you are? In this heartfelt episode of the Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Candace and guest co-host Ruth Chou Simons explore what it means to live unhurried, especially during the Christmas season when expectations, comparison, and consumerism often steal our peace. Ruth shares candid stories about life with six boys, running a small retail business during the holidays, and intentionally choosing rhythms that protect her family from hurry. Candace reflects on her own refining season when she stepped back from acting, learning the hard way that she could be physically present yet mentally far away.
