0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader,
0:07.1	and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance.
0:14.5	This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply
0:23.4	spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working,
0:30.4	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy,
0:38.8	I am praying for you and I'm so glad you're here from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, I am praying for you,
0:41.7	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:50.1	When I wrote Tired of Being Tired, my new book that comes out in April, I had a goal that might surprise you. I wanted to help people see all the simple and supernatural ways that they could
0:56.4	rest other than taking a Sabbath. Do not get me wrong. I love the practice of Sabbath. I think

1:18.7	Sabbath. But the first thing you need to know is we are not going to stress about it. Okay? Let's dive
1:25.7	in. All right, friends, so as I was just sharing with you, when I wrote
1:32.1	tired of being tired, I knew I had to talk about Sabbath. I wanted to talk about Sabbath. I love the
1:37.1	Sabbath. I'm a Sabbath girl, but I intentionally actually did not unpack the principle of Sabbath until 50,000 words into the book.
1:47.4	And I went back and looked at the book today, and I really wanted to make sure I was right
1:51.0	about this. But when I did write about it, I only wrote about one page. And the reason why this is
1:56.9	is because I think a lot of us equate rest to Sabbath.
2:04.3	And when we feel like we can't take a day off,
2:06.4	or when we feel like it won't work for us,
2:10.4	or when we feel like nobody understands our limitations or our boundaries or what we have going on in our life,
2:13.1	then we dismiss Sabbath and we dismiss rest as a whole.
