“Work, but don’t worry...” 😮💨 Is it possible??
🎙️ This week, we ask a very human question: is busy our drug of choice?
Pull up a chair as we explore God’s ideas of 'success'. What's the difference between trusting Him with our 'daily busy' and our long-term visions? How do we understand our rhythms of motivation, and keep God in the centre of that? And why do we need to be bored??
There's no shortage of Scripture in this one! Track along, as we trace Jesus’ rhythm of productivity and rest, lean into the radical idea of Sabbath as the "great equaliser", and ask what real value looks like in the Kingdom.
Who knows - maybe you might find a new view on your to-do list.
Happy listening, Table Tribe 🔥🔥
