We talk with Dr. Andy Goodwin about what it really takes to be present when leadership pressure never turns off and your calendar keeps filling itself. We explore small, practical shifts that help us choose our spouse and kids without pretending work and responsibility will magically disappear.
• why Walking Slowly is written “in the margins” of a full life
• presence as a daily choice, not a personality trait
• using your calendar to reveal real priorities
• refusing the false solution of “just do less”
• integrating rest, reading, workouts, and meals into normal rhythms
• building a culture where rest is expected and modeled
• student formation that values personhood over performance
• listening well, trusting the Spirit, seeking the kingdom first
