Over the years, more than one person has described the ministry of Unhurried Living as prophetic. For a long time, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with that assessment.

 

In this episode, I reflect on insights from Eugene Peterson’s The Jesus Way and an observation from recovery historian Ernest Kurtz that helped me see prophetic ministry in a new light.

 

We often remember the dramatic moments of prophets like Elijah, Jeremiah, and John the Baptist. But what if their hidden seasons were just as important as their public ones? What if the margins, rather than the center, are where God does some of his deepest work?

 

Together we’ll explore:
Why prophets are often formed in hidden places
What life on the margins can teach us about God
How solitude helps us resist the assumptions of our culture
Why weakness and dependence are central to spiritual formation
How an unhurried life can quietly challenge our culture’s definitions of success

 

Whether you’re leading, serving, recovering, or simply seeking a deeper life with God, this reflection offers an invitation to rediscover the living center around which all of life is meant to turn.
