In No Hurry with Cole Douglas Claybourn

We live in a world that tells us that doing more and staying busy are hallmarks of success. Having down time or relaxing is sometimes perceived as possessing a poor work ethic or being lazy. Most of us feel like we have to fill our schedules with work — sometimes multiple jobs...

“Receive the Holy Spirit,” Jesus said to his disciples in John 20:22. Yet, for many Christians, the Holy Spirit can feel like a mystery. How do we hear it? How do we receive it? How do we discern what it's telling us and what our spiritual gifts are? How do we know that wh...

For the last four decades, Dr. Steve Seamands has been a staple at Asbury University. As a student in the 1970s, he was part of what became a well-known and still-talked-about student-led revival. Now, as a retired professor at the seminary, he got to experience another reviva...

No matter how hard the tug might be to pursue a creative passion, jumping all in to do it can be scary. It's especially challenging when it requires leaving a steady career with good income for what might feel like an unknown future. But that's what Benecia Ponder did when, in ...

I don't know anyone who reads more books than my wife, Emily. Seriously. In 2022 she read over 130 books! It's truly a joy for her to escape into a story and let her imagination run wild as she imagines these characters. A couple years ago, she started an Instagram acc...

Sports fans are passionate people. Sometimes, we take it a little too far and let our emotions get the best of us. Our team loses a big game or doesn't play well and we can let it affect our mood for days, weeks or even much longer. But as believers, how we conduct ourse...

The role that journalists play in our society is so vital. Not only do they inform the public, but they hold those in power accountable. As stories of church abuse and unethical behavior from Christian leaders continue to sprout up, we see just how important journalists are ...

The whole premise of the In No Hurry Podcast is to engage in conversations that intersect faith and creativity. This week not only do I get to speak with an author and artist, but the focus of our conversation is about creativity and tapping into the natural artistic gifts God...

While trusting in God's will for our lives is an essential part of the Christian walk, it's also one of the most difficult things we attempt to do as humans. When God tells us "no" to our prayers, we often struggle with how to respond. For many of us, it can ...

Walking into church can be intimidating, whether for the first time or after a period of absence, whether you are a non-believer or a believer. And as much as we'd like it to be, the church is not always a place where everyone feels welcome. Sometimes, it's not a space where e...

Laughter has been some of the best medicine for me over the past couple of years. One of the best sources, at times, has been TikTok, and one of the best accounts I've come across is that of Josh Benson — better known as @joshbensontherapper . While the rapping has taken a bac...

While society has come a long way in embracing women as leaders, we still have a ways to go. That's especially true in the Church, where female pastors are few and far between and the path to leadership positions is often rockier and more treacherous for women than it is for m...
