Field of Boaz-The Unhurried Life

Sowing Seeds of Intentionality in a Distracted World

What if one of the greatest things we could cultivate in this generation is the ability to slow down—not simply to live a slower life, but a more fruitful one?

We live in a culture constantly competing for our attention. Between social media, our phones, endless responsibilities, and the noise of everyday life, it’s easy to become so consumed with what’s happening around us that we lose sight of what God is inviting us into.

At our recent Savor Dinner and Activation Nights, we talked about the importance of the secret place—that sacred place of communion with Jesus—and the things that hinder us from entering into that stillness.

I wonder how often the things competing for our attention are quietly stealing from the very things God is inviting us into.

The calling on our lives, the people we’re meant to encounter, the relationships we’re called to nurture, and the assignments He’s placed before us.

How often are we exchanging opportunities to invest in something that bears eternal fruit for something that offers only a temporary rush of dopamine?

I don’t believe the answer is to eliminate everything we enjoy or create a standard of perfection. Rather, it begins with awareness—recognizing what’s consuming our attention and becoming intentional about who or what is shaping our lives.

SOW SEEDS OF CHANGE

One of the things I love about Sow Grow Nourish is the opportunity to celebrate and uplift those who are already sowing seeds of change. We don’t always have to be the ones creating something new. Sometimes we’re simply invited to recognize what He’s already doing through others, to come alongside them, and help amplify it.

Field of Boaz

Recently, I came across Field of Boaz, created by Jacob and Leah Boaz, and appreciated how closely their vision aligned with what has been stirring in my own heart.

Their message centers around rediscovering the beauty of an unhurried, intentional life—one that makes room for faith, family, meaningful relationships, and the simple things we so easily overlook.

What I especially appreciate is that they’re not just encouraging people to slow down.

They’re providing practical ways to begin cultivating a different way to live.

As homeschooling parents of four, Jacob and Leah understand the demands of everyday life. They've shared openly about seasons of feeling overwhelmed, living in survival mode and turning to distractions as a way to escape the busyness (I'm sure many can relate.)

Through their own personal journey with the Lord, they began discovering a different way of living- one that prioritized His presence, protects their time and energy, and created intentional rhythms within their home.

As they began to experience peace and the fruit of these intentional changes, they didn't keep it to themselves but encourged others to come alongside and do the same. The testimonies from those who have participated in their courses & free 7-Day Unhurried Life Workshop

began to experience the same things in their own homes. One participant shared how the experience finally helped her to give her family uninterrupted attention while inviting God into the ordinary moments of her day.

It's the ordinary moments of this beautiful life that we don't want to miss. I believe the addiction to buisyness is a real thing. Where the ordinary moments can be categorized as boring. But what would it look like if we gave 100% of ourselves to a moment, so we can experience the fullness of what that moment was intended to bring. Not to miss out on lifes greatest gifts, which boils down to God, all humanity, family and His beautiful creation.

I believe Field Of Boaz is something God may be highlighting to the body of Christ and our society as a whole: an invitation to reconsider what we’re giving our attention to and the kind of culture we’re creating within our homes.

My hope is that you’ll take some time to explore their website and allow their resources to encourage and bless your life.

Because ultimately, the goal isn’t simply to live a slower life. It’s to live a fruitful one.
