Summary

Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, interruptions in our health, job, or circumstances that force us to slow down or alter our lifestyle. While setbacks aren't that enjoyable at first, they have a way of being perspective-shifting moments that reshape how we live our lives.

Last week we touched on things that wake us up. This week, Bill and Laurie Lokey are back to talk with Josh and Christi about how to get through the things that slow us down.

The Straub's and Lokey's talk about:

* How slowing down forces you to identify areas of your life you took for granted. * What we rob ourselves of when we press the "easy" button. * The power of saying yes to adventure in the midst of being slowed down.
