  • Reclaiming the life God has for me

    Oh, how I need this podcast! In an era when life is accelerating at a pace beyond our human capacity--running us ragged and wounding our souls and relationships, I can’t think of messages that are more important than those on this podcast --- Abiding in Jesus, Rest, Solitude, Silence, Sabbath. Listening every week grounds me again, so that I can live the way God always intended.

  • Gracious Guides to Living Differently

    So grateful for Alan and Gem Fadling and their gentle and wise guidance. Each podcast either gives me space to think about Jesus and his invitation to an unhurried life or to listen to a conversation on a spiritually forming topic. Thank you for this podcast!

  • Podcast Observations

    There are some podcast episodes I struggle with completing in its entirety, especially when the episode lacks insight and energy. Maybe the person being interviewed was nervous because of the constant giggling and not fully answering questions that Gem was asking regarding practices in the author’s book. I felt that many of us could have written this book or did this interview because this was all information that we live each and everyday.

  • The name caught my eye

    I was living too fast for myself. I knew it. And my daughter, naturally a slow-life gal, recommended this podcast to me.

    I have been sooo helped, encouraged, and challenged to hear Alan and Gem share what (and WHO!) they have discovered along the way.

    Thank you for helping me to slow down, to savor my life.

    Being unhurried is a massive character quality we should be glad to attain. I enjoy Alan’s mix of commentary AND interviews on this valuable podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Leaders Lose Their Way — A Conversation with Peter Greer
Q: What is the antidote to drift in leadership?
The antidote is a consistent practice of micro course corrections, daily disciplines, and stubborn attention to pace and presence with God, plus deliberate acts of service and deep friendships that encourage accountability.
How Leaders Lose Their Way — A Conversation with Peter Greer
Q: Can you talk about the early signs leaders should watch for that indicate drift is starting?
The early signs include a belief that 'the rules apply to others' while exceptions creep in for oneself, increasing inattentiveness to small compromises, and growing isolation from trustworthy people who can challenge you.
Why Leadership Can't Outrun Formation (Jason Jensen)
Q: How do you approach discernment before acting in leadership moments?
He explains using pilgrimage imagery, focusing on alignment with God's will, and orienting toward timely, present commitments rather than chasing a grand, distant plan.
Why Leadership Can't Outrun Formation (Jason Jensen)
Q: What has shaped the leader you have become over the years at InterVarsity?
Jason Jensen describes ongoing conversions—from cross-cultural ministry to a more contemplative approach to spirituality and leadership—shaped by a sense of God forming him over time rather than quick, tactical changes.
Jason G. Green on Faith, Memory, and Leaving the White House to Listen
Q: What surprised you most as she shared some of that story with you?
All of it was surprising to me, especially realizing my grandmother was from Quince Orchard, a place I didn't even fully comprehend.
