Does real rest feel like an elusive dream? Has your rest been turned into just another productivity hack?

Today’s episode examines the nature of rest and why we all feel exhausted. Join Brandon, Liv, Matt and Peter as they unpack our human desire for rest and the obstacles we face to receiving it. A core insight that the group focuses on is that rest is really a trust issue. We can’t receive rest so long as we don’t trust God to give it to us. The group also challenges the assumption that we rest in order to work, citing the creation account for viewing rest as the culmination of work. The group closes out the conversation with some practical advice about how they’ve experienced rest in their own lives.

Thanks for joining us today! Jesus loves you. Rest in his love.
