About this listen

Over the past few years I thought I was a relational person but the truth is I am naturally task-oriented. Being busy and efficient felt like loving people but I have learned that presence cannot be rushed.In this episode I share what Scripture and stories have taught me about slowing down and showing up for people: • Luke 10: Martha distracted by many tasks • John 11: Jesus slows down and weeps with Mary and Martha • A modern illustration from the children’s book Little Blue TruckI also reflect on the habits I am practicing to be more people-oriented and how being relational is something you learn not something you are born with.Whether you are a leader, a friend, or trying to grow in how you care for others this episode is for you.Reflection question: Where might slowing down be the most faithful thing you could do today?Listen to the full episode now and join me in learning to slow down.
