In this episode of the Grafted Life Podcast, Adam Ormord and guest host Stephen Humber are joined by Alan Fadling to discuss what it means to slow down and abide in Christ, living and leading from a place of restfulness, joy and peace. Solitude plays a huge role in growing a life with God, and in our culture prone to hacks and quick fixes, we can instead choose to live at Jesus’ pace.
