Summary

Jen Pollock Michel joins Shelby to chat about her new book In Good Time and why a lot of the productivity advice floating around isn’t necessarily the best advice to take. Jen’s encouragement to resist hurry for the glory of God may be just what you need today. She’s also asking and answering some important questions about the way we manage our schedules. Should our goal be to get the most done? Or should it be to do the right thing in the right way at the right time?

0:00.0	Welcome to Daily Grace. We believe the Bible is true, trustworthy, and timeless. And we want
0:17.6	to help women like you, know and love God's Word. The Bible shows us who God is and who
0:24.7	He is, changes everything. My name is Shelby and I'm Crystal. And we want to invite you to
0:31.0	come join us as we chat about the truth of God's Word in our everyday lives.
0:37.8	Hey everyone and welcome back to the Daily Grace podcast. This is Shelby and I am so excited
0:43.3	today to have with me Jen Pollock, Michelle. Hi Jen, hey, you're Shelby. We are really glad
0:49.0	to have you here. In case our audience isn't familiar with who you are, Jen is a writer, a
0:54.7	speaker, a coach, and she actually hosts her own podcast as well. And she's the author of five books,
1:01.0	her most recent of which is in good time. Eight habits for reimagining productivity, resisting
1:08.0	hurry, and practicing peace, which is what we've invited her here to chat with us about today. And
1:14.1	I'm personally excited for this conversation because when you say where it's like productivity,
1:19.9	hurry, and peace, my immediate thought is I need help with all of that. You know, I think many of

1:31.1	church and everything. And there just doesn't seem to be enough time. But you offer some real
1:35.6	solutions in your book and I'm really excited for you to share those with our listeners today.
1:40.1	Yeah, well, I hope, you know, I don't think I can solve all the problems. I think that the book
1:44.5	very much represents my own questions, search, struggles, trials, tribulations. And so I can certainly
1:52.3	be a companion for people along their own journey. Yeah, that's what we all need. A companion.
1:58.2	Well, can you tell us just a little bit more about the message of that book and why you specifically
2:03.7	chose to write on this topic? Mm-hmm. Busy mom, five. I started writing when my kids were,
2:10.9	my oldest was about 10. I mean, I've been writing before that, but just, you know,
2:14.7	my first book was published when she was 10. So I started to go back to work. And I think that my
