In week one of The Elimination of Hurry, we were reminded that following Jesus means more than identifying as a Christian—it means being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and living as He lived.

Drawing from Dallas Willard, we defined hurry as excessive busyness paired with urgency and learned that it is not the pace of Jesus, is incompatible with love, and is harmful to our souls. Jesus invites us into a slower, restful way of life where we choose what matters most and intentionally follow Him.
