S3E9 - Alan Fadling - The spiritual practice of downward mobility

This week many of our listeners had to make some tough leadership decisions regarding Covid-19. We love you, and we know that nothing has prepared us well for this moment. We spend a few moments, in the beginning, talking about some thoughts we have as we have thought through the pandemic. Disclaimer, we recorded on Thursday, March 12, less than 2 hours after, the county J.R. and I live in closed all its schools for the next two weeks, has canceled all large gatherings and is asking the population to practice social distancing. And, there is a toilet paper shortage!! We are sure that even when this reaches our listeners, the situation will have changed again. Our interview this week is with Alan Fadling is timely. This conversation was so fruitful and long that we decided to make it into two parts. This episode begins with Alan sharing the most helpful metaphor of ministry of a pitcher, cup, saucer, and plate Alan shares his story of hearing a clear vision from the Lord and watching it die over years of downward mobility only to be resurrected at the right time. He speaks to the danger of success over failure and so much more—Alan bursts at the seams with wisdom and grace.  Resources: https://www.unhurriedliving.com/Alan’s books: An Unhurried Leader & An Unhurried Life      Questions:- When are you tempted to reach for the pitcher? - What areas of your life could be described as hurried? How might you move from hurried to unhurried?  If you have any questions, comments, or thoughts for the show drop us a line, at dougmoister@gmail.com or jrbriggs@kairospartnerships.orgWe are a new podcast, so we ask you to make sure to subscribe, write a review, and share this with other pastors and kingdom leaders.
