We all have times when life has beaten us up and left us feeling worn out and discouraged. When we go through tough times like that, we often hear people tell us, "Well, just try to rest." While they aren't wrong, that advice tends to feel pretty shallow . What if there was more to rest than just trying to get away and take a vacation? Join Pastor Adam Cook & Chloe Lavinder in the second episode of the series "Running On Empty!"

67: Running On Empty: Rest

The Christian walk with Jesus is the greatest experience our human lives can embrace, but it is incredibly hard.  Unfortunately, conversations about faith tend to ignore the struggles or only brush by the difficulties in route to talking about personal victories or growth.  In a day and age where we see leaders in corporate America, our government, and even the church try to hide their flaws, we are taking an uncommon approach to the Christian walk.  Join Pastor Adam Cook each Wednesday as he takes some risks and heads down a road of honesty about this messy walk we call faith.  We won’t play it safe, and neither should you.  In fact, you cannot play it safe and please God, so why pretend?  Nobody is perfect.  Everyone has struggles.  Even Christians.   If you are ready to step into an authentic faith walk and get some mud on your boots, this podcast is for you.  
Adam Cook is the founding and Senior Pastor of Union Church located in rural Danville, Virginia, and Yanceyville, North Carolina.  He has been in full-time ministry in a variety of settings and church sizes for over 20 years and strives to use authenticity, honesty, and rawness to lead others into a real, albeit messy, walk with Jesus.
