Dr. Sasha Shilka, Tara Mattson, and Jess Connolly. We're diving into boundaries,

Sabbath rest, social pressure on women, practical strategies for incorporating rest into our lives,

and so, so much more. You'll see why this type of episode is my favorite. I'm just bringing you

the best of the best this week and next week in this super,

super mini series. Okay, let's dive in. Let's first start with John Mark Comer on busyness

and why it's so important to slow down. One of the main concepts of the book, which I agree with wholeheartedly, is busyness is so dangerous. Yeah.

It's such a threat to us because busyness tears away at our spiritual life. Yeah, in our capacity for love. I mean, I think, and of course, you know, you have to define what you mean by busyness because a lot of people hear that and they're like, well, wait, wasn't Jesus busy? And I think there's two different types of busyness. There's the healthy kind of busyness that just says you have a lot to do. And you're not wasting your life on Netflix and Facebook. But you're doing something meaningful with your life. It doesn't have to be famous or rich or, you know, sexy, but you're doing something meaningful with your life. Doesn't have to be famous or rich or

sexy, but you're doing something that matters with your life and you're not wasting your time.

That kind of busyness, I'm 110% for him. By that definition, Jesus was very busy. But you don't

read about him like just chilling and reading comic books. I think it's complex, but for days

at a time or whatever. But then there's a far more common kind of busyness that I don't think

it's healthy at all, which is when you have too much to do and not enough time to really do it well.

And so what you have to do is you have to speed up your body and your mind and your relationships to this crazy 90

mile per hour life in the fast lane pace in order to cram it all in before you go to bed at night

and don't sleep enough. And what happens is the cumulative effect of that on your soul over years
