Responding to People with Wisdom and Patience

Why do so many capable leaders struggle to lead with integrity, humility, and discernment over the long haul? 

In this episode, Alan Fadling talks with Jason Jensen, vice president of spiritual foundations for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of Formed to Lead. Drawing from Luke 3–4, Jason invites leaders to recover a vision of leadership rooted not in performance, but in spiritual formation—where identity precedes assignment, wilderness becomes a place of renewal, and discernment matters more than drive. 

Together, they explore how leaders are shaped by pressure, why rest restores authority, and how a life deeply formed by love can sustain faithful leadership over a lifetime.

What do you hold onto when God feels distant, faith feels fragile, and life feels overwhelming?

 

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem Fadling welcomes author Whitney Lowe for a rich conversation about God’s steadfast love, spiritual identity, and the quiet work of healing and restoration. Drawing from Scripture and Whitney’s book Called Back to Who You Are, this episode explores what it means to return to God, not through striving, but through trust, rest, and remembering who you truly are.

 

This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone navigating spiritual burnout, doubt, or disconnection, and longing to experience God’s love in a deeper, more grounded way.

When God Feels Far Away, Love is Still at Work (Whitney Lowe)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/9ac247c9-b4a5-4196-b741-b3ef0158fa9f/transcript

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.
