Following God’s Peace, Not Pressure

Have you ever felt torn between what feels urgent and what feels peaceful? In this week’s episode of The Week Ahead Podcast with Ken Robinson, we explore what it really means to follow God’s peace, not pressure.

Ken shares how easy it is to get caught up in expectations—from work, family, or even church—and start making decisions out of fear or hurry instead of quiet trust. But God doesn’t rush or push us. He leads gently, through peace that settles the heart and brings clarity.

Drawing from Philippians 4:7 and Isaiah 26:3, this episode explores how the Holy Spirit guides us through calm assurance, rather than anxious urgency. Ken unpacks the difference between the two: pressure demands; peace invites. Pressure shouts; peace whispers. And when we follow peace, we make better decisions, stay aligned with God’s will, and protect our emotional and spiritual well-being.

You’ll hear practical ways to slow down, pray before you promise, and recognise when something doesn’t feel right inside. Ken also shares how saying “no” to pressure—even good opportunities—can often be saying “yes” to God’s best.

If you’ve been feeling rushed, burdened, or unsure about a decision, this episode is a gentle reminder to pause and let God’s peace guide your next step.

Tune in, take a breath, and discover how to walk through the week ahead with calm confidence, knowing that peace—not pressure—is God’s way forward.
