Working For The Weekend

American culture has twisted our relationship between work and rest; expecting us to keep up the pace which leaves us tired and worn out. One of the consequences is that we find ourselves working for rest instead of living in God’s original design; a rhythm of life that rests once a week so that we can live from the overflow of God’s rest.

Topics discussed in this episode:
-The illusion of vacations as deep soul rest
-Working FROM rest instead of TOWARDS rest
-God’s design for rhythms of rest in our life
-Chasing The American Dream (video)
-The benefits / fruit of practicing sabbath
-How to begin practicing sabbath
