Our fast-paced American society promotes a constant drive for success, but often at the expense of our inner peace and contentment: "The increase of information, transportation and contamination have cost us dearly," says Dr. Tim Kimmel. "Our sense of permanence, unity and peace are jeopardized by hurried lifestyles." Based on his best selling book, Little House on the Freeway, Dr. Kimmel brings help to the hurried home by sharing positive ways to overcome one's hectic lifestyle. In eight sessions with practical applications, The Hurried Family video study explores the symptoms of a hurried family and provides counsel for restoring calmness and giving the gift of rest to others.

Life is moving at a blurring speed. If people don’t have a specific plan to  manage the pace of their lives, then the hurried lifestyle will manage them. There are seven basic traits that characterize hurried families.

Session Two: The Lure of the Hurried Family

What draws us into the hurried lifestyle and what are the consequences?

Session Three: Bringing Calm to the Hurried Home

Adhering to the six necessities for peace and rest can bring calm back into our lives. (Necessities 1 & 2)

Session Four: The Focus of Contented Families

Maintaining calm and rest requires that we resist the negative effects of the hurried lifestyle on two fronts: the battlefront of our hearts, and the battlefront of culture. (Necessities 3 & 4)

Session Five: When All You’ve Ever Wanted Isn’t Enough

There’s a pervasive attitude in our culture that is custom made for a restless heart—discontent. It doesn’t matter how much we have, it’s never enough. That’s why these last two necessities are at the core of a rested heart. (Necessities 5 & 6)

Session Six: Little House on the Internet

If we don’t have a carefully thought-out strategy, the hurried world of technology can steal our joy and undermine our priorities to our spouse, our kids, our friends, and God.

Session Seven: Giving the Gift of Rest to Your Marriage

A family's ability to maintain calm and confidence in the middle of their hurried schedules is contingent upon the parents maintaining a healthy relationship. 

Session Eight: Giving the Gift of Rest to Your Children

Kids need parents who are paying attention and running interference for them as they maneuver their way through the constant barrage of culture’s competition for a rested heart.
