Ep. 32: “Growing Slow” with Jennifer Dukes Lee

LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE

ABOUT THE EPISODE

Jennifer Dukes Lee, author of Growing Slow, tells the story of how she traded her fast-paced journalistic career in the city for a life on the farm. Jennifer talks about coming to grips with her limitations as well as the physical, relational, and spiritual effects of running too hard for too long. Sarah and Jennifer discuss what it looks like to “un-hurry your heart” in practical, everyday ways as well as embracing the various seasons of our lives.

MEET THE GUEST

Jennifer Dukes Lee lives on the fifth-generation Lee family farm in Iowa, where she and her husband are raising crops, pigs, and two beautiful humans. She writes books, loves queso, and enjoys singing too loudly to songs with great harmony. Once upon a time, she didn't believe in Jesus; now he's her CEO.
