#363 The Art of Rest with Adam Mabry


Listen Later

In this episode, Pastor Nic interviews Adam Mabry, author of "The Art of Rest," who shares his journey from being a task-driven pastor to discovering the vital importance of rest in Christian life. Despite being naturally inclined toward constant activity, Mabry came to write about rest after experiencing his own crisis with burnout. The conversation explores how rest is fundamentally woven into creation itself, serving multiple essential purposes: it helps believers remember God's sovereignty, restores relationships, allows for spiritual growth, and resists our culture's relentless drive toward productivity. Mabry explains that rest is an art that must be learned and practiced, looking different for each person while connecting to both God's role as creator and redeemer. The episode concludes with an encouraging challenge for listeners to begin practicing rest despite the fear and discomfort that might initially come with "stopping," trusting that God will bless their obedience in this area.
