Unhurried Living

Unhurried Living Rest Deeper. Live Fuller. Lead Better. Great leadership begins on the inside, in your soul. We live in a fast-paced culture. It isn’t about doing less.

Learning healthy patterns of rest and work can greatly impact your leadership—your everyday influence. We are often in a hurry and consider ourselves very busy. But busyness is not the same as productivity. Genuine productivity is doing the good work God actually has for you in a given day. How might you envision a life of rich fruitfulness, of true productivity? It’s time to get some perspective

so that your leadership flows from a full soul. Unhurried Living can help you learn the healthy rhythms of rest and work. You want to make a lasting impact and not simply check off a never ending list of to dos. You need a way forward that is sustainable. You need a pattern of living that will work for a lifetime. It is possible to rest deeper, live fuller and work better. Unhurried Living can help you learn how. We provide resources, teaching, speaking, consulting and training opportunities that help you live, work and lead from a full tank. Unhurried living isn’t about being lazy. It is about having perspective and resources to work better. Unhurried living isn’t about an empty calendar, it’s about a full soul. What if your life and work was an expression of deep and abundant overflow? The work you do might not change very much, but transforming who you are as you do it will change everything. We’d love to have you join us as we rest deeper, live fuller and lead better.

Are you leading on empty?

In this week’s Unhurried Living Podcast episode, Gem explores the powerful biblical image of reservoir vs
canal leadership. Drawing from Bernard of Clairvaux and the example of Jesus in Luke 5, this conversation addresses burnout, spiritual leadership, and the
importance of withdrawing to be filled by God before pouring out to others.

If you are feeling exhausted in ministry, overwhelmed in leadership, or spiritually depleted, this teaching will help you rediscover a sustainable rhythm rooted in
the love of the Father.

You’ll learn:
• What reservoir leadership means
• Why Jesus often withdrew to pray
• How to avoid spiritual burnout
• Practical steps for sustainable Christian leadership

We hope you’ll tune in wherever you listen.

One of our favorite things is connecting with people. Sitting in the room with them and talking about our lives, our work, our lives, and the role Jesus plays in it.

enjoyed a fun morning getting to know the women of Rooted and Riding, a workplace professional group led by Barbara Giammona. She was joined by Unhurried Living board member, Jane Couperus.

If you were sitting in a room with Gem, what questions would you ask?

What difference do we see in our encounters when we are truly WITH God and another?

Heather Rice-Mullins, President and CEO of Prison Ministry, shares the impact of this small word in the work she does with prisoners, this week on the Unhurried Living Podcast.

On this week’s Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem sits down with Heather Rice-Minus, President and CEO of Prison Fellowship, to explore what it means to follow Jesus in places that are complex, urgent, and often overlooked.

Heather shares how her calling into justice and prison ministry unfolded, from advocacy work that helped shape the First Step Act to her current leadership of one of the most influential prison ministries in the world. But this conversation goes beyond her role and into her life with God.

Together, they reflect on what she has learned from those who are incarcerated, how proximity to suffering reshapes our understanding of people and of God, and what Jesus may have meant when he said, “I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

They also explore the tension between urgency and presence, and how an unhurried life is not only possible, but necessary, even in work that carries real weight.

If you care deeply about making a difference but feel tired, stretched, or unsure how to keep going, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful way forward.

You’ll also hear:
* The unexpected discovery of joy among the incarcerated.

* Transformational leadership in the prison system.
How slowing down can actually strengthen your leadership.

This is a conversation about justice, leadership, and the kind of life that can sustain both.
