Have you ever felt pressure to perform, produce, and push through exhaustion? In this soul-refreshing conversation, Ellen is joined by her daughter Taylor Krause (Coffee and Bible Time co-creator) to explore the transformative practice of Sabbath rest—a discipline that's increasingly counter-cultural yet desperately needed.

Taylor shares her own struggles with technology addiction and the sobering reality that the average person spends ten years of their life on screens. What might happen if we reclaimed even a fraction of that time for true rest?

Ellen and Taylor address the dangers of legalism, offer practical tips for different life seasons, and ultimately point to Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11: "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Ready to experience the transformative power of true rest? Grab your coffee and listen in, then share this episode with someone who needs permission to pause in our productivity-obsessed world. Rest will require intentionality and discipline, but it's a beautiful way to build trust in God's sovereignty and to savor his presence in our lives.
