Episode 255: Why Hurry Is Hurting Your Soul
With Jeff and Terra Mattson and Featured Guest John Mark Comer
In this episode, we sit down with John Mark Comer to talk about what hurry reveals about our hearts and how slowing down is one of the most courageous decisions a leader can make. Sharing from his personal journey through burnout and emotional exhaustion, John Mark challenges us to live with integrity in both public and private spaces. Together, we explore the rhythms, limits, and grace needed to lead wholeheartedly in today’s fast-paced world.
Key Takeaways
Hurry is not just a time problem—it’s a heart problem tied to identity and fear.
Living within your limits is essential for healthy leadership and emotional resilience.
A “rule of life” provides structure to stay spiritually rooted in a hurried culture.
Emotional health and spiritual maturity are inseparable in leadership.
The integrity gap harms not just leaders, but also their families and communities.
Rest and space aren’t luxuries—they’re spiritual necessities.
True leadership means becoming the same person in public and at home.
