Summary

God's Word tells us to "be still and know I am God," but in the world, we become so hurried that we forget the importance of this practice. In today's episode, you will hear how God spoke clearly to the StoryTellers Live team that it was time to rest in solitude and reset in prayer for the next three weeks. We hope you will stand alongside us in prayer and use this as a reminder to be still before Him as the new school year ramps up.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

It's okay to take a break.
Rest and reset are an important part of your spiritual walk.
Jesus was busy, but Jesus was not hurried.

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer

ON PATREON THIS FRIDAY - Rest seems like it should be something easy to do, but in a world that tells us to go, go,

go, let's face it... rest is hard! What does God's Word tell us about rest? In this month's Dig Deeper Audio Devotion, Katie looks at the importance of Biblical rest and how this rest can be a form of worship. Not a member, join Patreon today

0:20.3	And then sometimes God throws a curveball.
0:22.8	And so today, you're not going to hear a new story, but you are going to hear us discuss
0:27.6	something that God has really done, really in our lives over the summer. And so I'm going to kick
0:33.6	it off by saying, we have worked really hard this summer. And we, you know, we like to
0:40.7	rest. We like to slow down storytellers in the summer. And this summer, we were able to slow down
0:46.4	a little bit, but we were working very hard on the Bible study. And we wanted to get that ready for
0:51.2	you. And that's available now. Yay! And it's out.
0:55.1	Listen, we're celebrating.
0:57.0	It is available.
0:58.3	But in that came a time where we did not rest like we had hoped.
1:02.9	And I think one of the wildest things is that as I've talked to friends over the summer, we're not alone and that we've been so busy.
1:10.6	For so many people, this past summer was
1:13.5	so busy. And so you may be feeling the same thing we've been feeling. I know my summer,
1:21.6	I don't know about you guys, but my summer every single week. It's like I had something to do.
1:26.7	And it's funny, you know, we talk about,
1:28.4	I know Lindy and I have talked about this just with COVID, we slowed down so much. And we all said,
1:34.2	I'm never going to go back to that busyness. And I just feel like this summer, I feel like 2021,
