Summary

We knew we had to have a conversation about rest this summer. Y’all know how much Sabbath and rest is priority for me and I know y’all love talking about it too, so of course, we called John Mark Comer. His work on this topic has had a massive impact on a ton of us. If you’ve never read Garden City or The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, I highly recommend adding those to your summer reading list. And if you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 80. It’s never too late to join us-you can find it at anniefdowns.com/seasons! . . . . .
