  • Why God Won't Show You the Whole Plan (And Why That's a Good Thing)

    Why God Won't Show You the Whole Plan (And Why That's a Good Thing)
    Jun 19 2026

    This episode wraps up the book club discussion of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry with the remaining ten practices for slowing down, plus a personal, unscripted reflection on trusting God through uncertainty.

    The episode opens with a raw moment about navigating law school as a non-traditional student, including a candid conversation with God about wanting to see the bigger picture before feeling secure in obedience. The takeaway: God often withholds the full plan on purpose, not to withhold comfort, but to keep us dependent on Him rather than on our own self-sufficiency.

    From there, the conversation returns to the list of 20 practices for slowing down, picking up at number 11 and continuing through number 20. Topics include setting boundaries around email and social media, the debate over cutting out television entirely, the case for single-tasking over multitasking, taking a regular day of silence and solitude, journaling, mindfulness and meditation through a Christian lens, taking real vacations, and the value of slowing down around food, whether that means cooking at home or being intentional while eating out.

    The episode closes out the book club pick with a reflection on the book's epilogue and an open question about what to read next.

    Key Highlights

    • A personal reflection on asking God for the "big picture" and what He said in response
    • Why God sometimes keeps the full plan hidden, even when you are being obedient
    • Practices 11 through 20 for slowing down, including thoughts on which ones felt useful and which felt overly rigid
    • A respectful disagreement with the author's stance on cutting out TV entirely
    • Why single-tasking, not multitasking, is the one non-negotiable on the list
    • The value of a monthly day of silence and solitude, and a smaller, more realistic version of it
    • Mindfulness and meditation reframed through scripture rather than secular practice
    • Closing thoughts on the book's epilogue and an open call for the next book club pick

  • How to Be Ambitious and Content at the Same Time as a Christian Entrepreneur

    How to Be Ambitious and Content at the Same Time as a Christian Entrepreneur
    Jun 12 2026

    This episode wraps up the discussion on simplicity and moves into the fourth and final practice of unhurried living: slowing. Before diving in, the episode opens with a personal reflection on what it looked like to actually live this out — a season of downsizing a business, laying off a team, and trusting God's call to slow down even when it made no practical sense.

    From there, the conversation shifts to contentment — specifically the way Paul uses "I can do all things through Christ" in Philippians, not as a battle cry for achievement, but as a testimony about being at peace in any circumstance. Contentment is framed not as the absence of ambition, but as the ability to hold desire without striving — checking with God before chasing the next opportunity rather than figuring it out on your own.

    The episode then moves into the author's 20 practical tips for slowing down, covering the first ten. The list centers heavily on driving habits and phone use — driving the speed limit, arriving early without your phone, and intentionally creating a "dumb phone" experience by removing notifications, social media, and email. Several tips are reflected on personally, including changes made to phone settings after reading the chapter.

    Key Highlights

    • What it actually looked like to obey God's call to slow down in the middle of a business crisis
    • The difference between toxic ambition and healthy drive — and how healing changes what you are chasing and why
    • Contentment as restraint, not passivity — wanting more while still being at peace with where you are
    • Reading Ecclesiastes as a practical starting point for anyone who wants to pray for contentment
    • The first 10 of 20 practical tips for slowing down, with honest reactions to each
    • A personal phone audit — which notifications stayed, which were deleted, and why

  • Money and Minimalism

    Money and Minimalism
    Jun 4 2026
    In this episode, we continue our discussion of John Mark Comer's book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, picking up with his chapter on simplicity and money.Episode OverviewThis episode covers Comer's chapter on simplicity, including his take on Jesus' teachings about money, the practice of minimalism, and 12 principles for simpler living. The episode also includes a running critique of where the author's analysis of wealth falls short.Key Discussion PointsOn Jesus and moneyComer argues that roughly 25% of Jesus' teachings address money and possessions, and that nearly none of them are positive toward wealth accumulation. He connects three short teachings from Matthew 6 — on storing treasures in heaven, the lamp of the body, and serving two masters — to one long teaching on worry, making the case that what we worship, we worry about.The episode pushes back on this framing. Jesus' statements like "it is more blessed to give than to receive" and "you cannot serve both God and money" are not condemnations of wealth itself. They are observations about the condition of the heart. Money funds generosity, finances kingdom work, and creates the margin to serve others well. The issue is not wealth but what wealth does to a person's heart when it becomes their source of identity or security.A personal example: being a landlord to a tenant facing breast cancer and financial hardship. Having financial margin allowed for grace — accepting late or partial payments, covering the mortgage independently — in a way that would not have been possible otherwise. That is wealth functioning as a tool for kingdom living.On the author's frameworkComer eventually acknowledges the tension — noting that Jesus was supported by wealthy donors, had disciples manage a budget, and shared meals with rich friends — but does not spend enough time there. The scriptures he cites actually contain the nuance he underexplores. When someone uses scripture primarily to validate a point already formed, rather than letting scripture shape the point, it is worth noticing. That pattern reveals a lot about how a person is operating, even if unintentionally.What minimalism actually is (and is not)Comer offers several clarifications:It is not a design aesthetic or a style preference.It is not poverty or living without enjoyment.It is not organizing your stuff — if you have so much that it requires organizing, labeling, and boxing, you likely have too much.Minimalism is the intentional promotion of what you value most and the removal of what distracts from it. It applies not just to possessions but to time, mental load, and the condition of the heart. Hurry is not only a physical state — it is a condition of the mind.Comer's 12 Principles for Simple LivingBefore buying, consider the true cost — maintenance, time, insurance, and what it will do to the pace of your life.Before buying, ask whether the purchase harms the poor or the earth. The garment industry is a direct example: in the 1960s, 95% of American clothing was made in the U.S.; today it is 2%, often produced under exploitative conditions.(Covered within principle 2 — the ethics of globalized manufacturing.)When you do buy, opt for fewer, better things. Buy it once.When you can, share. Community and the sharing economy reduce the need to own.Get into the habit of giving things away. Generosity is both practical and life-giving. Personal example: passing along baby clothes and supplies within community, and using the school's used uniform shop to outfit a child for a fraction of retail cost.Live by a budget. In a culture that glorifies frivolous spending, budgeting is a form of good stewardship. Enjoyment belongs in the budget — but so does discipline.Learn to enjoy things without owning them. Parks, libraries, coffee shops, and natural spaces are available to everyone.Cultivate a deep appreciation for creation.Cultivate a deep appreciation for simple pleasures.Recognize advertising for what it is. (Partial disagreement here: advertising is not propaganda or lying — there are laws against false advertising. The more accurate takeaway is to be intentional about not purchasing what you do not actually need.)Lead a cheerful revolt against materialism. Actively and joyfully reject the pull toward accumulation.Scripture ReferencedMatthew 6 (Sermon on the Mount — storing treasures, the lamp of the body, serving two masters, and do not worry)1 Timothy 6:17-19 (Paul's command to the rich in Ephesus)Connect and ShareLeave a comment on Spotify, share this episode, or send an email with your thoughts — especially your perspective on the critique of how wealth and money were framed throughout this chapter.Products Available — Moving Sale!Tatum is moving and has a limited number of physical resources available for just $5 each (+ shipping — total order stays under $10).
