Life doesn’t slow down just because we’re exhausted. Many people live tired, telling themselves rest will come later, but it never does. In this episode, Scott Sauls reflects on Mark 6, where Jesus invites His weary disciples to come away and rest, even as real demands remain. Drawing from Eugene Peterson and Marva Dawn, Scott explores how Christian rest is not laziness or escape, but an act of trust in Christ. Discover how Sabbath, reordered loves, and receiving from Jesus can renew your soul in the middle of a full life.
