What’s the difference between knowing about God and truly being with God?

 

In this episode, Alan reflects on a question at the heart of the Christian life: Are we formed more as scribes—accurate, informed, articulate—or as prophets—people shaped by lived communion with the living God?

 

Drawing from voices like A. W. Tozer, Eugene Peterson, John of Ruusbroec, and Thomas H. Green, Alan explores the interior life Jesus invites us into—a life not marked by spiritual fireworks, but by learning to see ordinary life through the eyes of God.

 

This conversation invites pastors, leaders, and everyday followers of Jesus to slow down, listen deeply, and allow prayerful attentiveness to shape not only what we say about God, but who we are becoming in his presence.

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling talks with Jason G. Green about faith, leadership, and the power of listening. Jason shares why he left his role in President Obama’s White House to sit with his grandmother in her final days—and how that decision led him to uncover the hidden history of Quince Orchard, a once-thriving African American Christian community.

 

Jason is the author of Too Precious to Lose, a memoir that explores memory, community, racial reconciliation, and the role of faith in repairing what has been forgotten or broken. Together, Alan and Jason reflect on Christian leadership, the importance of slowing down to listen, and what it means to steward the stories and communities we’ve inherited.

 

This conversation is especially meaningful for pastors, nonprofit leaders, and anyone seeking a more faithful and grounded way of leading in a divided world.

 

Jason G. Green is a Maryland-born community organizer, attorney, storyteller and entrepreneur. Green served as special assistant to the president, and associate White House Counsel to President Obama, advising on economic and domestic policy matters. Green co-founded SkillSmart, a company that reshapes how communities measure economic impact, and is CEO of EverGreen Labs, where he supports visionary organizations working to expand economic opportunity and strengthen community. Green serves as trustee to the Pleasant View Historic Association and supports its efforts to preserve the historic site. His award-winning documentary, Finding Fellowship, explores the rich history of Quince Orchard and the fight to preserve its legacy.

Jason G. Green on Faith, Memory, and Leaving the White House to Listen

When life feels unsteady, many of us respond by holding tighter, trying harder, and carrying more than we were meant to bear. But Jesus offers a different way.

 

In this episode, Gem Fadling is joined by Yvette Henry, writer, speaker, and author of Release, Rest, Remain, for a thoughtful conversation about learning to let go, trust God, and stay rooted in his presence when life feels overwhelming.

 

Drawing from Jesus’ words in John 15, this conversation explores what it means to release the pressure to hold everything together, rest in God’s love, and remain spiritually grounded in the middle of real life. Together, they reflect on spiritual exhaustion, the invitation to abide rather than strive, and how spiritual fruit grows naturally when we stay connected to God.

 

This episode is for anyone longing for peace, stability, and a deeper sense of trust when life feels uncertain.

Yvette is a dynamic writer, speaker, social media influencer, and mom to four children. Alongside her husband, Glen, she co-hosts the hit podcast How Married Are You?! and a thriving YouTube channel that has more than a million followers. She uses her platform to connect and encourage women through honest conversations about lifeʼs challenges.

 

Yvette has released a book entitled, Release, Rest, Remain, a thirty-day journey for busy women who are longing for peace and joy in the middle of life’s chaos. Rooted in Jesus’ words from John 15, this book gently calls us away from striving and back into abiding, learning how to release what we were never meant to carry, rest in God’s presence, and remain grounded in His love.
