I love how there has been an emphasis recently within education, especially in classical circles, on restful-learning. As I have pondered what “rest” means in my own life (not just in my home education), I return over and over again to the concept of resting from my own workings and attempts to earn God’s favor by being awesome. 

My rest is found by relying on the accomplished work of Jesus Christ for my identity.

The hard news that I will never be “good enough” drives me to repentance and humility.

The blessedly amazing news of grace drives me to doxological shouts of joy.

Today’s audioblog episode is actually the first article I ever wrote and published, a couple years before I even started my own website. It originally appeared in the spring 2014 edition of Greenhouse Magazine, and can now also be found over on my blog. https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/humility-doxology-identity/
