Summary

In a world that prizes hustle and constant productivity, breaking the habit of hurry can seem far-fetched. Yet we still try to achieve it with life hacks to get more sleep and increase energy. However, self-help strategies are not the solution to our exhaustion problem. Today, Eryn Lynum joins me to talk about what it looks like to move away from the hurry and toward the rest that God has for us. This episode will be balm for your soul!

0:32.7	you today. I'm really excited about this interview and about this episode. We live in a pretty wild, crazy world with lots and lots of hurry. We're encouraged to hurry, hurry, hurry, be busy, busy, busy. And productivity is good. It's a gift from God.
