Modern, Western life seems to be geared towards speed and efficiency.

Many of us are working longer hours and taking less time off. Shops are open for longer and everything is available at a simple click of a button, delivered the very next day. Everything is as convenient and fast as possible.

At the same time, burnout and mental health problems are becoming more and more common.

Does this frenetic pace of modern life work with how we are created to be or are we pushing ourselves beyond what our bodies, minds and souls are created for?

About this series

In this series, we’ll be looking at four practices from The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. These practices are all firmly grounded in ancient, Biblical principles.

About this talk

This is the third talk in our Slow Down series.

When our culture encourages us to always get ‘more’, how can the practice of simplicity help our hearts, as well as the planet?

The Bible reference for this talk is Luke 12:13-34.
