Technology promises us that we will be able to do more of what we love and less of what we don't. Life will be easier, simpler, and more efficient with no cost. But is there a cost? And how can we know it? That's what Nate and Christine chat about this week on Rhythms of Grace.

Now, more than ever before, distraction is at your fingertips. It can help us to stop mental spirals, distract us from physical pain, and help us disconnect from work after a long day. On the other hand, it can stop us from being creative, productive, and reflective. So how do we discern good distraction from bad distraction? Tune in to find out!

Technology is an integral part of all of our lives. Whether you live on a farm in the middle of nowhere or you work for a tech giant in Silicon Valley, you rely on technology every day. But what does that have to do with faith? That's the question the Rhythms of Grace team will be chewing on this season.

Food is part of our daily lives. It gives us fuel, but it is so much more than that. It brings people together, impacts our mental and physical health, and can even provide rest. Tune in this week as Pastor Stephanie Ehmke joins Nate and Christine to wrap up season 8 of Rhythms of Grace.

This week, while Sung is away, Nate and Christine take some time to talk about sleep. From mental health to marriage to the routines they follow, the Rhythms of Grace team talks about a few key points that impact their sleep.

When people think of rest, most of the time, their first thought is sleep. How can you sleep better, and what difference will it make? Do you have a sleep disorder? Should you and your pet sleep in separate beds? How about you and your spouse? Sung and Christine talk about all these questions and more in today's episode on sleep.

While Nate is still on vacation, Sung and Christine dive deep into the first building block of a healthy, rested life: exercise. At the same time, exercise is a pretty new phenomenon. Sung gives a short history of exercise before the team dive into the function of exercise and how it relates to good rest.

Sung and Christine take a detour away from the seven types of rest to talk about the building blocks of good rest in every area: food, sleep, and exercise. What does it mean to take care of our bodies as temples, and what does that have to do with getting enough rest? Find out this week!

All season, we've been talking about how to rest FROM and rest IN, but how do you rest from spirituality? Is that heretical? What does spiritual rest actually look like? That's what Sung, Nate, and Christine wrestle with in today's Rhythms of Grace episode.

Are you feeling like your brain is constantly working? Are you overwhelmed by the constant onslaught of information in the world around you? You might be in need of some mental rest. This week, the Rhythms of Grace team is tackling the sixth of seven types of rest as they discusses how each of them experience or seek mental rest.
