I’m Randy Greenwald and this is Greatheart’s Table, the podcast for “busy” pastors and those who care for them. I’ve put quotes around “busy” because this is the second of two reset episodes from first released in August of 2021 on the subject of the “busy-ness” of pastors, an affliction with which I’m all too well acquainted. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for listening.

The other three “laws” are:

  • Unseized time flows toward my weaknesses.
  • Unseized time comes under the influence of dominant people in my world.
  • Unseized time surrenders to the demands of all emergencies.
    Forty years later, I could easily add a fifth.
  • Unseized time defaults to our electronic devices and streaming services.
