The Art of Slowing Down

Show Notes

In a world that relentlessly pushes leaders to do more and move faster, the act of slowing down feels like a luxury we can’t afford. But in this episode, we explore why it’s not only necessary — it’s essential to our spiritual and emotional flourishing. Rev. Dr. Tanner Smith and Pastor Chase Rashad Stancle share practical ways to rest, reflect, and connect more deeply with God. They offer simple ideas like setting boundaries, taking time for a Sabbath, and learning how to pause. These small changes can help us deal with the busy world without getting overwhelmed.Through personal stories and spiritual wisdom, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how you approach your time, your relationships, and your own well-being.

In this episode, Tanner and Chase discuss:

• Setting boundaries for healthier relationships and personal growth

• The power of pausing and how it helps you focus on what really matters

• How resting can build trust with the people you lead and care about
