Join Joey and Bill for part two of resting. In part two the discussion centers on What Healthy Rest Actually Looks Like. Rest is not merely the absence of work; it is the presence of renewal. We discuss the gift of the Sabbath and how gratitude changes how we experience rest - rest allows us to receive God's gifts; gratitude allows us to recognize them.
