Description

We live in a fast-paced world, and most of us are always trying to do more in less time. It is often immensely difficult for leaders to slow down amidst the pressures and demands of work and life and this can often lead to burn out and leaders not finishing well. How can we as leaders find the value of slowing down, and how can leaders practically implement rest into their lives? Join us today on the Lasting Change podcast, where we talk with Robert L. Gallagher, a professor of mission and intercultural studies. Together we talk about the difficulty people, particularly leaders, face in slowing down amidst the pressures and demands of modern life. We explore the need for time for solitude, prayer and silence, following the example of Jesus.
