Description

Many leaders wrestle with the question: If I slow down, will I still get anything done? In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan explores Jesus’ words in John 15 alongside the wisdom of farmer-poet Wendell Berry to reimagine productivity, not as frantic busyness, but as abiding fruitfulness.

Discover a vision of work that nourishes rather than depletes, both for you and for those you serve.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. Why busyness can actually disconnect us from the very Source of true fruitfulness.

  2. How Wendell Berry’s vision of sustainable farming offers a powerful model for ministry and leadership.

  3. Why lasting kingdom productivity always begins in abiding and focuses on people over programs.
