Helping Busy Christians Create Space to Slow Down and Notice God
Life is busy. Our days fill up with responsibilities, distractions and endless things competing for our attention. It’s easy to become so caught up in the demands of everyday life that we lose sight of what matters most.
But what if there was another way to live?
Jesus invites us into a different kind of life. A life built around Him, where we learn to slow down, become more present and discover what it means to walk closely with God.
A Life of Rhythm is about learning to live differently. It’s about creating space for God, developing rhythms that help us stay connected to Him and discovering how to abide in Jesus in the middle of ordinary everyday life.
Not about adding more to our already busy lives, but learning to live with a different focus.
Discover a different way of living
Jesus didn’t simply invite people to believe something. He invited them to follow Him, to learn from Him and to discover a new way of living.
He said:
“I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.”
John 10:10
Yet how often do we find ourselves living at a pace that leaves little room for the very life Jesus offers?
We hurry from one thing to another. Our minds are constantly occupied. We fill our time with good things, but sometimes lose sight of the most important thing: our relationship with God.
Jesus invites us to come to Him, to learn from Him and to discover the unforced rhythms of grace.
It’s an invitation to build our lives around Him.

Making space for God
So how do we begin to live differently?
I believe it starts with learning to slow down, becoming more intentional about how we live and making room for God in the everyday moments of life.
Through simple practices such as silence, solitude, simplicity and surrender, we can begin to create rhythms that help us draw near to God and remain connected to Jesus.
Spending time outdoors, noticing the beauty of creation, learning to be still and paying attention to what’s happening within us can all become opportunities to encounter God.
These aren’t simply things to add to our to-do lists. They’re invitations to a different way of living.
A life where our relationship with God shapes our priorities, our decisions and the way we spend our days.
I regularly write about these things, exploring what it means to slow down, simplify life and grow in our relationship with God.
A journey we’re learning together
I’m Simon. I’m a follower of Jesus, a teacher, gardener and lover of the outdoors.
For many years I’ve been exploring what it means to slow down, live more intentionally and build my life around God.
I’m certainly not someone who has it all worked out. I’m still learning, still discovering and still finding ways to make more space for God in the middle of everyday life.
Through A Life of Rhythm, I share the reflections, ideas and practices that are shaping my own journey. My hope is that they might encourage you in yours.
You might find something helpful in a blog post, discover a new practice, join a reflective walk or spend time exploring some of the resources available here.
Wherever you begin, the invitation is the same: to draw near to God and discover what it means to live life with Him at the centre.
Alongside the writing, I also help create opportunities to slow down, explore and draw near to God through experiences such as Wild Church Torbay.
