The Summer Slowdown.
A Practical Summer Challenge to Inspire You to Slow Down & Revitalize Your Life
Take a break from ordinary.
It’s summer. Now what? The same routine? Status quo? A couple beach trips, maybe a camping trip thrown in for safe measure? Evenings on Netflix? The infinite scroll on your phone?
This Mini-Course & Magazine is a practical summer challenge to inspire you to slow down & revitalize your life.
A Quick Explanation.

“The Summer Slowdown has encouraged me to take a breath this summer and enjoy life at a calmer pace. The magazine is full of ideas to savor life. To settle down and breathe. It is a life-giving resource for today’s hurried mentality.”
— Camie Schadie, Reader & Summer Slowdown Participant
What’s Included.
-
You’ll receive my 98-page magazine-style workbook. I designed this visually beautiful magazine to inspire you to infuse your summer with a fresh perspective and renewed heart.
Table of Contents includes:
The Slowdown Welcome
The Slowdown’s Contrarian Heart
The Slowdown Methodology
The Summer Slowdown 31-Day Challenge
-
The Summer Slowdown Magazine is not your typical workshop or online course workbook. It is a robust resource with nourishing and inspiring your heart as its number one priority.
Packed with practical application-driven content, The Summer Slowdown Magazine contains a 31-Day Challenge.
It’s not meant to burden you with yet another challenge. On the contrary, it’s meant to inspire you to choose some fun challenges designed to get you to Slow, See, and Participate.
-
You’ll receive access to my private workshops given to the Black Barn Community. There are three videos totaling nearly an hour and a half of teaching.
Each teaching session focuses on one aspect of the Summer Slowdown Methodology. The teaching sessions are meant to challenge and inspire you to rethink your approach to the busy-ness life brings. When you combine the teaching sessions with the Magazine resource, you get a practical summer challenge that will inspire you to slow down and revitalize your life.
Teaching Sessions Include:
Session 1 - Slow
Session 2 - See
Session 3 - Participate
Take summer back.
Someone once said you should not measure your life in years but in moments—the moments with the ones you love. How many more summers do you have with your kids, parents, and best friends? It’s sobering to think about.
But here’s the deal.
We’re a culture famous for ramming our way through life. We don’t look back, we don’t change things up. We don’t get creative with our time and don’t think about how this moment builds into the next, into the next.
But we can change that. Now.
The Summer Slowdown Challenge
I built The 31-Day Summer Slowdown Challenge not because I like trendy dieting ideas or easy breezy beach reads. I did it to challenge myself to think differently. To get off the couch. To try something new. To remove & replace the things that need it most.
And I did it with you in mind.
If you’re here, it’s because you want something new for yourself this summer. Not in a selfish way, but in an “I want to leave the status quo behind. I want to nourish myself” kind of way.
The Summer Slowdown Methodology
I built The Slowdown Methodology to get us to see the world differently and live with a fresh heart.
What is this methodology?
It’s a progression of living that helps you transform your perspective on daily living and invites you to engage the world through the imaginative beauty of wisdom.
The Summer Slowdown uses the language of “challenge” to inspire you to rethink how you spend your summer months. You’ve heard of different health or fitness challenges, but what about a challenge for your heart? You’re sold a vast array of daily and monthly planners. What about a Soul Planner?
The Summer Slowdown combines a beautifully designed and easy-to-read application-driven magazine workbook with three inspiring video teaching sessions.
You can use The Summer Slowdown at your own pace. And here’s what you don’t have to worry about.
No Zoom appointments to keep.
No complex workshop language.
No watered-down ideas that don’t stoke your spirit.
Just straightforward, soul-nourishing goodness for your heart and mind.
“Make this summer not just memorable, make it life-changing. Be intentional with the time God’s given and find nourishment in slowing, seeing, and participating. God created us to thrive on soulish things. And that’s what The Summer Slowdown will give you.”
— Dr. Tim
