We are always in the middle of something - answering an email, running one more errand, just to get one more thing checked off our list. And that spills over into our days off (if we even have one!) producing more stress, anxiety, and fractured relationships leading to burnout. But God didn’t intend for us to live this way. His way is freedom, margin, and cycles of work and rest. Listen as we discuss why rest is so deeply spiritual, and ways to make it happen! You will leave empowered to master your schedule and days off which lead to a fulfilled soul.

A. Why We Rest 1. Obedience 2. Trust + Surrender 3. This is God being the Good Shepherd to us. - Psalm 23

B. Mastering the Recharge 1. Protect the Day Off. - Maybe set up an email autoresponder and adding your office days/hours to email signature so others know why you don’t respond on that day. - Unexpected invitation on your sabbath? Do this: 1. Check in with your spouse/roommate FIRST before responding. 2. Does this invitation serve the greater good for us in this week or meet a high value for our family in this season? 3. What is our bandwidth? Do we have energy for another thing or will this add to the overwhelm, exhaustion and eventual burnout? 2. Know Thyself 3. Communicate, Respect and Serve One Another
