A few of you have asked me, hey Jordan, are you reading your own audiobook for Redeemer time?

I'm thrilled to say yes I am.

And let me just say this, recording an audiobook easily two of the most exhausting days of my entire life, but so worth it. I love

doing it. I love making this stuff for you guys. So guys, my publisher has been

incredibly generous. They have permitted me to share the introduction of

Redeeming your time and Chapter 1 in its entirety.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

Without further ado, here's the intro in Chapter 1 of redeeming your time.

Introduction The Solution to Being Swamped. I'm swamped. I've said it, you've said it, we've all said it at

one point or another. Maybe you're in a season of feeling swamped right now. You roll out of bed each morning,

exhausted from not getting enough sleep. You pull open your phone to find a dozen

text messages from the ridiculous, another gift of a dancing dog, to the exhausting.

Can you bring Chloe home from church tonight?

If you manage to squeeze in a few minutes of quiet time, you're quickly interrupted by your

calendar, notifying you of today's meeting that you didn't have enough time to

fully prepare for. At work, the struggle continues.

Your to-do list seems to be getting longer, not shorter.

Your day is filled with back-to-back meetings with no time to think in between.

When you are finally able to carve out some time to focus on some real work, that familiar

ambient anxiety creeps in, leading you to question if the project you're working on is the

right thing for you to be focused on at that moment. After work, you rush back home

to have dinner with your family or friends.
