In this conversation, Adi Tilford and Sally Henry discuss the importance of rest and Sabbath. They explore the cultural messages around productivity and the need to constantly be doing something. They also discuss the role of rest in sustainability and balance, and how it allows us to have a more realistic perspective of our role in the world. Sally emphasizes the importance of checking out from work and responsibilities and taking time to rest and recharge. They also touch on the idea of seasons and how there are times when we need more rest and times when we need less. Rest is essential for growth, healing, and recovery. It rejuvenates us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Jesus modeled the importance of rest by stopping and allowing life to be interrupted. Rest is a rebellion against our go-go culture. It is a time to reset, recover, and think clearly. Rest is a need that should be met, just like any other need. When we embrace rest, beautiful things can come out of it. We need to prioritize rest and allow ourselves to be refreshed.
