Our Vision

Vision: We inspire Christian leaders around the world to rest deeper so they can live fuller and lead better.

Purpose: We resource busy people so they can rediscover the genius of Jesus’ unhurried way of life and leadership.

Mission: We provide content and training that helps people lead from fullness rather than leading on empty. We help leaders walk and work with God, instead of serving at a distance. We do this by…

  • LIVING all that we are learning so we share with others from experience and wisdom.
  • DEVELOPING digital, print and video content that encourages the practices of an unhurried life.
  • TRAINING people in Jesus’ unhurried way of living and leading.

Many leaders are hurried, and hurry is costing them more than they realize. They experience life and work becoming more productive, more sustainable and more satisfying.

Busy is a matter of calendar. Hurry is a matter of soul.

Built on more than thirty years of experience at the intersection of spiritual formation and leadership development, Unhurried Living seeks to inspire Christian leaders around the world to rest deeper so they can live fuller and lead better.

Spiritual leadership is the influence that grows in the life of a leader being transformed by the power of God's Spirit. Spiritual leadership is learning to robustly practice spiritual disciplines that deepen the roots of leaders in the love of God.

Effective spiritual leaders learn to experience the depths of God's love so they know how to lead others into those same depths. Such leadership bears the fruit of transformed lives and expanded kingdom influence.

REST DEEPER: Why do I so often feel more drained than energized? Can I find space for my soul to breathe?

LIVE FULLER: I have tried to fill my life with achievements, possessions, and popularity, and I feel emptier than ever. Where can I find fullness that lasts?

LEAD BETTER: How can I step off the treadmill of mere busyness and make real, meaningful progress in my life and work?

Rediscover the genius of Jesus' unhurried way of life and leadership.

Our Faith

 

We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

*catholic here means universal
