Practicing the Way
About this episode

“Most people are just too busy to live an emotionally healthy and spiritually rich life.”


We live in an age of chronic distraction and business. John Mark talks about hurry as the great enemy of our spiritual life. He proposes that the solution to “hurry sickness” is not more time, but rather become people of love through being intentional with our own “rule of life.”


Key Scripture Passage: Luke 10v25-37
