Crossroads Worship | The Real Reason You Can't Slow Down
Some of you are watching this on the way to somewhere else. Why do we live our lives in such a hurry?
We blame distraction, packed calendars, and endless responsibilities—but underneath all that busyness is often something deeper: anxiety. Fear. The need to protect something we’re scared of losing.
This week, Chuck Mingo looks at how anxiety exposes what our identity is really built on—and why being yoked to Jesus can bring a kind of relief no productivity hack ever could. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
No, I am not ashamed to praise like this. Someone say it's foolishness, that I say it's worth the risk. I can't pick it up with Jesus again. No, I am not ashamed to praise like this.

And I remember how you just saved me when you stepped in to save my life And they found out that what I know now I would be still and let you work it out As I was Jesus I was tossed in water But I never went under you were always on time Jesus When I went through the fire You were right there beside me You were always on time You were always, always, always on time I remember how you carried when I couldn't take this step And I remember how you loved me when I couldn't live myself Oh, Jesus I was tossed in water But I never went under you were always on time Jesus When I went through the fire You were right there beside me You were always on time You were always, always, always on time You were always, always, always on time You were always, always, always on time You were always on time You were always, always, always on time You were always, always, always, always on time You were always, always, always on time You were always, always, always on time You were always, always, always on time Jesus I was tossed in water But I never went under you were always on time
Jesus When I went through the fire You were right there beside me You were always on time Jesus I was tossed in water But I never went under you were always on time (upbeat music) God, we thank you that you're always, always, always on time. Even when it doesn't feel like it, even when things aren't insanely hard, I was just talking to a friend going through unimaginable circumstances. And he said he's grateful that he's going through it because it brought him closer to you. God, may we all be grateful for anything we have to walk through because you're going to be right there so close to us. I know that's when I felt you look closest and I almost felt grateful too. God, grow our gratefulness and our faith and our trust in you. You are so, so good. You thank you for who you are and how you've saved me and how you've saved my friends. Amen. Guys, thanks for singing with us. Thanks buddy next to you that you do not know, ask them how they like their coffee. Make a mess.
