Rev. Mia McClain Preaching | Exodus 33:12-14 | Psalm 23:1-6 | “Beloved, rest is not a form of inactivity—a passive directive that disconnects us from the call to do justice and love mercy. Rest is a form of resistance. You literally can’t spell ‘resistance’ without the word ‘rest.’ We can’t do the work justice—the work of building the world we desire to see—without rest. We can’t do the work of imagination or creation without rest.”
