- Christianity
As pastors and ministry leaders living in a world that glorifies the hustle lifestyle, is it possible that slowing down and pulling back a bit might actually make our ministry more effective? In this episode of FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Alan Fadling, certified spiritual director, founder of Unhurried Living, and an award winning author. Together, Alan and Jason explore how we can reframe our contemporary understanding of ministry leadership, and instead, allow Jesus to guide us into what he modeled, grace-paced leadership.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:
Alan Fadling on ministering with the pace of Jesus: “The pace of the kingdom is a pace of grace, not a pace of drivenness. It is a pace of peace, not a pace of anxiety.”
Alan Fadling on leading out of a place of receptivity: "A lot of times, the way we understand and define leadership is in terms of leadership activity. And, of course, there are plenty of good things God gives us to do that make a big difference. But right alongside that, and maybe as the heartbeat of that is our practice of a receptivity. We have to receive from God that which we give to others. If we're truly living in the kingdom of God, then what we have to offer has first been given us. This has been how it is in the kingdom all along."
Alan Fadling on understanding our relationship with Jesus as ministry leaders: "What I need is a non-utilitarian relationship with God. I don't want every moment I have with God to be for a ministry purpose."
