Note, if you want to fast forward to the content, start at about 10:35 into the episode.

Episode 009 of The Slow Down podcast will feature an interview with Table Network member and business owner, Aaron Rohrer. Aaron is a husband to Lisa, father of three, the owner of The Slow Down Barber Lounge. It's not your typical barbershop. Aaron has created an environment for people to slow down and have conversations, whether they are getting a haircut, a shave, or just enjoying a beverage. He focuses on listening to people and is seeing a culture of slowing down intentionally form in his business. It is in this environment that relationships form and discipleship happens. Listen in as Aaron shares a bit of his journey. How grace has changed everything for him and freed him up not just from seeking to earn God (and people's) approval, but to pursue his passions and disciple others as he goes. We discuss topics such as how grace affords us the freedom to listen to people without needing to correct everything, as well as how the gospel brings freedom to seek forgiveness. Aaron shares how these realities are shaping him, his family, and the work he is called to as a business owner.

Episode 008 - Slow Down: A Timeless Approach - The Freedom to Slow Down | Part 2 Continuing the discussion from episode 007 on why this freedom to love is good news for all of us who seek to make disciples, the guys share stories of how they have failed on mission when love wasn’t the priority. When systems, structures, and plans drive our discipleship efforts, we fail. But when love for God and neighbor fuels are missional efforts, systems, structures, and plans become helpful guides.   Sign up for a free copy of our new eBook, Reclaiming Discipleship. www.thetablenetwork.com/podcast Get a copy of Slow Down: A Timeless Approach You can reach out to us by contacting gino@thetablenetwork.com.

THE SLOW DOWN is a podcast hosted by everyday people who are navigating life and discipleship by the seat of their pants and the grace of God. We take an unfiltered look at how the finished work of Jesus has set us free from the exhausting madness of trying to fix our lives and the lives of others. Listen in on our ongoing dialogue concerning the simple, but rather hard realities that accompany the practice of extending the freedom and family of Jesus to those we encounter. This is our open confessional of how we've fallen short, and our stories of what God has taught us along the way. The mission Jesus has invited us into needs honest, helpful, and hopeful dialogue… and we intend to give it our best shot with this podcast.
