The StoryField #106: Sacred Pace: How Terry Looper Learned to Lead Without Burnout
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, entrepreneur and author Terry Looper shares the remarkable story behind his journey from burnout and overachievement to a life of peace, surrender, and faith-driven leadership. Best known for his book Sacred Pace, Terry explains how he learned to make major business and life decisions by slowing down, consulting Jesus first, gathering facts carefully, and waiting for peace before acting.
Terry opens up about building Texon into one of Houston’s largest private companies, the pressure of high-stakes leadership, and the burnout that forced him to reevaluate everything. What followed was a deeper understanding of prayer, surrender, and what it means to truly seek God’s will in both business and everyday life. His insights are especially relevant for Christian leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and anyone feeling the weight of striving, stress, or decision fatigue.
If you’ve ever wondered how to lead with wisdom instead of pressure, how to avoid burnout, or how to trust God in the middle of complex decisions, this conversation will encourage and challenge you. Terry’s story is a compelling reminder that God’s way is not only available in ministry, but also in the marketplace — and that peace can be a powerful guide in business, leadership, and life.
