Approximately 1/3rd of Americans do not get enough sleep. They lack rest. God, on the other hand, never needs to sleep and yet rests on the 7th day of creation. When this week’s Hebrew Bible text picks up, Isaiah is extolling the benefits of the Sabbath. So, Jonathan and Seth talk about the importance of rest. They wonder what a sabbath practice might look like that isn’t overly strict, but is still help. And they use Tricia Hersey’s book Rest is Resistance to help them consider rest more holistically.

We’re glad you’re with us. However, if you skip this episode to get some rest, we won’t fault you.
