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
