In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem reflects on the powerful story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22 and what it reveals about trust, surrender, and spiritual growth.

What happens when the thing you long for most feels at risk? How do you trust God when disappointment threatens your peace? Through Scripture and a deeply personal story of infertility and waiting, Gem explores how faith matures when we release our deepest desires into God’s care.

If you are navigating unanswered prayer, wrestling with surrender, or seeking a deeper trust in God, this episode will meet you there.

How to Trust God When You’re Afraid to Lose What You Love Most

What if your morning didn’t begin with hurry, but with holy attention?

In this Unhurried Living favorite, Alan Fadling shares how he begins his day with God through simple, grounded rhythms that open space for presence, listening, and grace.

What began years ago as a “quiet time” has matured into something more relational—a daily meeting with the living God. In this episode, Alan walks through his morning flow, including silence, Scripture, singing the psalms, prayer for others, and reading spiritual classics like The Philokalia.

These practices are not about performance or pressure. They are invitations—ways of remembering God, receiving his love, and entering the day rooted in peace rather than driven by urgency.

 

Resources mentioned:

Whether you are building a new rhythm or rediscovering an old one, this episode offers a gentle vision for beginning your day with God as a friend.

How I Begin My Day with God (Unhurried Favorite)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/011d81a1-7878-4fa8-b436-b488013dec2d/transcript

What if the Holy Spirit is not distant or confusing—but closer than you think?

 

In this replay episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling sits down with pastor and author Tyler Staton to explore what it means to grow in discernment and recognize God’s voice through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Tyler’s book The Familiar Stranger, this conversation invites us beyond ideas about God into a lived, relational experience with him.

 

Many leaders sense a gap between what Scripture describes about the Spirit’s power and what they experience in daily life. Together, Alan and Tyler gently explore how that gap can begin to close—not through striving, but through growing familiarity with God’s voice, learning to discern what is truly from him, and opening ourselves to a more vibrant, Spirit-led life.

 

Whether you feel curious, uncertain, or quietly hungry for more, this conversation offers a hopeful path forward.

How to Recognize God's Voice: Growing in Discernment Through the Holy Spirit (Unhurried Favorite with Tyler Staton)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/1f37f36f-8f1e-4fae-9a6e-b48100d7c04a/transcript

What does it really mean to become the best version of yourself in God?

 

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem Fadling sits down with therapist and bestselling author Dr. Alison Cook to talk about Christian boundaries, finding your voice, healing trauma, and facing emotional pain with faith.

 

Dr. Alison shares a deeply personal story that shaped her book The Best of You, and we explore why so many Christian women struggle to recognize their needs, speak up in relationships, and set healthy boundaries without guilt. We also look at how Jesus modeled a strong sense of self, and why facing your pain is essential to spiritual growth and emotional healing.

 

If you’ve ever wondered:
Is it selfish to focus on my needs?
How do I set boundaries as a Christian?
Why is it so hard to use my voice?
How do I heal from past wounds with God?

This conversation will encourage you to rest deeper, live fuller, and lead better.
