Summary

Do you live in a perpetual state of rest with exhausted moments, or do you find yourself living in a perpetual state of exhaustion with restful moments?

In Season 3, we’re looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the hard questions about how we lead our families. Unfortunately, for many families, a chorus of words seem to ring out of what people today long for, but can’t seem to attain. The word we cover today is “rest.”

This episode is the first of 5 familial shifts we’ll be talking about as we continue to ask the question: “Why are we doing what we are as families?”

0:00.0	I've recently gotten to a place where I'm experiencing curiosity. I feel like I'm, uh, I'm not just living
0:06.7	out of rest where I'm not just rested momentarily rested, but I'm experiencing it now as a state of
0:13.5	being. And I think that's what we want to get to. We're not just talking about being rested because
0:19.1	you took a nap on the couch after church on Sunday.
0:22.0	We're talking about what does it look like to live in a perpetual state of feeling rested?
0:27.4	And that goes against the last, I mean, when I talked last week about the 150 years shift of family,
0:35.1	it goes against the grain of everything, the direction that we're heading in,
0:40.9	especially over the last 50 years, 10 in particular, it goes against the grain.
0:48.1	And you have to have permission. Let this be permission for you to start seeking a state of restedness.
0:57.0	Ooh.

1:46.2	that we find ourselves in. And we really just want to take these next number of weeks to look
1:52.7	at five familial shifts that we can make, things that we've been doing. We'll tell stories
1:58.3	about that, but just, I think questions we've been asking about family, family life, and leaving you ultimately with the question of why are you making the decisions that you are in how you lead your family.
2:12.2	I think that's, isn't that like the marker of wisdom too, to just ask those why questions, like continually.
2:17.4	Yeah. Otherwise, you do just get
2:18.7	on this hamster wheel of either the mundane or the typical and I don't think that typical is always
