Cover Less Ground More Slowly

What if true wisdom isn’t about speed or mastery, but about slowing down and savoring each step? In this warmly reflective episode of Seedbed Inc’s “Wake Up Call,” host John David Walt invites you to rethink your approach to Scripture, joined by special guest—and his father—David Walt. Together, they explore Proverbs 7 and embrace the transformative power of “covering less ground, more slowly.” Discover why wisdom isn’t just knowledge to be acquired—it’s a relationship to be nurtured, as John David Walt shares personal insights and practices that make Biblical wisdom come alive, day by day, bit by bit. Drawing from the advice of Trappist monk Thomas Merton, this episode challenges the rush of reading the Bible in a year and offers a rich alternative: immersing yourself deeply, allowing the word of God to shape you from the inside out. Key moments include a heartfelt morning consecration, the meaning behind viewing wisdom as a “sister” and insight as a “relative,” and an honest reflection on how self-improvement falls short compared to true spiritual transformation. Listen in as father and son share stories from their own spiritual journeys, and lift your spirit with an uplifting rendition of the classic hymn, “Standing on the Promises of God.” Whether you’re seeking a new approach to Scripture or simply need encouragement for your faith journey, this episode will leave you inspired to slow down, linger with wisdom, and live more authentically in the power of the Holy Spirit.
