From Scribe to Prophet: Learning to See with God’s Eyes
Unhurried Living | Helping Christians Rest Deeper & Lead BetterShow Notes
What’s the difference between knowing about God and truly being with God?
In this episode, Alan reflects on a question at the heart of the Christian life: Are we formed more as scribes—accurate, informed, articulate—or as prophets—people shaped by lived communion with the living God?
Drawing from voices like A. W. Tozer, Eugene Peterson, John of Ruusbroec, and Thomas H. Green, Alan explores the interior life Jesus invites us into—a life not marked by spiritual fireworks, but by learning to see ordinary life through the eyes of God.
This conversation invites pastors, leaders, and everyday followers of Jesus to slow down, listen deeply, and allow prayerful attentiveness to shape not only what we say about God, but who we are becoming in his presence.

What if your life isn’t something to rush through, but something to walk through… with intention, awareness, and God’s presence?
We live in an age of constant distraction. Our bodies may be in one place while our minds race somewhere else, leaving us physically present but mentally and emotionally absent. What might help us recover a more attentive, peaceful way of living with God?
Life rarely unfolds the way we imagined. In those moments, many of us tighten our grip, while pushing, trying or angsting ourselves into stress or unhealth.
What if the Old Testament law was more spacious than we imagine?
