Gem shares a spiritual practice she's developed called, “SLOW.” It is an an acronym for STOP, LINGER, OBSERVE and WONDER. SLOW is a practice you can engage, in just a couple of minutes at any point in your day. It’s a helpful process of re-focusing and re-engaging.

It’s very difficult to be truly productive when you feel scattered or hurried. Five-minute retreats can help you slow down, remember God's care, and bring you back into the moment. You can emerge refreshed, and ready to move forward into your next interaction or task.

If any of you follow us on YouTube (which we highly recommend), you’ve seen our 5-Minute Retreat videos. SLOW is the most popular video on our channel. That’s why I want to share it with you now.

If you are able, sit in a comfortable chair or simply stand still wherever you are. I will gently guide you through the steps of SLOW – STOP, LINGER, OBSERVE and WONDER.
