  • Summary

  • In today’s episode of Starting Place, we’re exploring the spiritual practice of rest and Sabbath. We dive into why so many of us struggle to rest, the pressure to stay busy, and how the Bible redefines true rest. Join us as we discuss how living in God’s strength helps us embrace rhythms of rest in today’s fast-paced world.


    Main Takeaways:

    • Rest is a rhythm meant to help us depend on God, not escape life’s responsibilities.
    • True rest involves trusting God’s presence and sovereignty rather than overextending ourselves.
    • Sabbath, while not required, helps us order our lives around God and experience His delight in us.
