Summary

Our bodies and souls are so desperate for rest, but some of us do this more easily than others. People who are Doers by nature, often Do something for rest, but I think that's not actually rest. It is out of an overflow that we serve others, so our impact is diminished when we don't take time for rest. (I'm just talking to myself today, so feel free to listen in!) The Lord talks about it in the Bible, Jesus practiced it as a man, and we need to commit to it as Christ followers. Let's talk about how to implement it.
