Have you ever noticed that Jesus—despite carrying the most critical mission in history—was never in a hurry? This profound observation has been challenging me for years as the Holy Spirit consistently whispers: "Tyler, slow down."

In our hyper-connected world where information bombards us at unprecedented rates, we've normalized a pace of life that runs contrary to how Jesus operated. After reading "The Relentless Elimination of Hurry" by Mark Comer, I've been confronting this tension between modern expectations and divine example. What if, instead of simply trying to imitate Jesus' character, we actually adopted His lifestyle—including His deliberate, unhurried pace?

This episode explores a powerful principle I've been meditating on, borrowed from Navy SEAL tactical training: "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." These elite warriors understand that deliberate, controlled movements under pressure lead to superior outcomes compared to rushed, panicked actions. When applied to our lives as Christian entrepreneurs and marketplace believers, this wisdom transforms our effectiveness. Moving methodically, thinking clearly, and proceeding with intention creates the space for true excellence and divine guidance.

Consider where hurry might be sabotaging your success and limiting your kingdom impact. Are your rushed decisions truly producing the results you desire? What might change if you approached your work, relationships, and spiritual practices with the controlled precision of a SEAL on mission rather than the frantic pace our culture celebrates? The answer might surprise you—and accelerate your true success in ways hurry never could.
