Listen "36. Ruth Chou Simons: The Secret to an Unhurried Life (Even When You’re Busy)"

Episode Synopsis

What does it look like to live a life that’s both productive and unhurried? In this week’s conversation, I sit down with Ruth Chou Simons—Wall Street Journal bestselling author, artist, podcaster, and founder of GraceLaced. Ruth shares from her new book The Way of the Wildflower and helps us see how God uses every season—growth, rest, and even dormancy—to shape us.



We talk about:



Why hurry often starts in the heart




Trusting God’s timing instead of rushing ahead




How sanctification can’t be forced or fast-tracked




What dormancy looks like in our spiritual lives




The freedom of dependency on God’s sufficiency




This episode is a gentle reminder: God isn’t in a rush with you. 🌿
