  SPEAKER_00: You made it to Slowdown Sunday, and I've got one question for you, my friends.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: When was the last time you paused?
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: Not because you were forced to, but because your soul needed to.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: Galaxies expand over billions of years, right?
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: The earth spins steadily, giving us sunrise after sunrise, asking nothing in return.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Even the moon, without a single word, move the tides, the oceans, the seasons.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, nature's never in a hurry.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Nature's kind of slow, but so powerful.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: What a message to us today on Slowdown Sunday.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: That stillness, it isn't weakness.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, it's wisdom.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why the ancient wisdom is so powerful.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: How about that psalm that speaks about stillness?
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: The very famous one, Psalm 46.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Be still and know.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Be still and know that I am God.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Let me read that to you the way I would read it.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Be still and know I am God.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: The first thing we have to do to encounter God is to slow down.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why we call this slow down Sunday.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's the perfect day to slow down.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Even God slowed down on this day.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: Okay?
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: So still this is not stillness is not just rest, it's revelation.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's in stillness that we find God, right?
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Be still and know that I'm God.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: It is in stillness that we find our truest selves.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's where clarity meets our surrender.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's where striving fades and trust takes over.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: But we've got to practice that.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's the secret.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: So many of us find no time to be still.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: We have no time to be still.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: And when we're still, we've got to like have the phone in front of us.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: We've got to have the TV on or the headphones over us, right?
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's very tough to be still and be with ourselves and encounter the most high.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: In mindfulness, they have another beautiful quote that I love.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: The moon does not fight, it keeps its course.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: But by its very nature, it gently influences.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Think about that.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to push to make an impact.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to hustle every moment to be powerful.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes the quietest forces in the world are the most consistent ones.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: And you, beautiful soul, you are allowed to move with grace today.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, as the saying goes, rest is not a waste of time.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's preparation for the next move.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: Remember, tomorrow is making moves Monday.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why we've got to slow down here on Sunday to fill our tank so we can make that move.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: So today, don't just rest, reclaim your energy.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: Let it fill you today.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: Let it reset your rhythm today.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: Let it sharpen your spirit for what's coming next.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: What would it look like to slow down on purpose today?
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: To unplug, to sit in silence, to journal, to walk without your headphones on, to do nothing, and accomplish everything.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: Stillness is the gateway to divine direction, my friends.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: And the stars, they'll still be moving slowly, deliberately, purposefully, and intentionally, just like you.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: Okay now, this is the sweet spot.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Dr.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: Derek Sweet, and I want you to know, I know that I know that I know that you've got this.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: I believe in you.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to slow down, figure it out, figure out your five-minute slowdown today.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll see you next week.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you for Making Moves Monday.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: New wisdom, new fire in the same strong soul that you are.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Love and blessings.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: Take care.
