Podcasts about rest finding

Jesus invites us to find rest in Him. Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28) In His Presence, we can lay all our burdens down and find rest. On Sunday, June 30, 2024, Pastor Chad Gilligan unpacks how you can find rest.

Dr. Richard Swenson, author of The Overload Syndrome and Margin, writes that… “We must have some room to breathe. We need freedom to think and permission to heal. Our relationships are being starved to death by velocity.”Too many people are physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially overloaded these days. So, we'll look at rest from a biblical perspective today.The Concept of MarginIn his writings, Dr. Richard Swenson introduces the concept of "margin"—essentially, it's the space to take a break before you break down. Many of us feel there's just not enough time, money, or energy left at the end of the day to recuperate, leading us to start the next day at full throttle again. This lifestyle, lacking margin, can have severe physical and financial consequences.Consider sleep, for instance. The Sleep Foundation reports that nearly half of people in the U.S. struggle with sleep, and about one-third of adults sleep less than seven hours each night. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to expensive health issues like diabetes, anxiety, obesity, and heart disease. Additionally, research from Sleep Advisor indicates that over 2 percent of the U.S. GDP is lost due to workers' lack of proper sleep.Working late nights and weekends might seem necessary if you feel like life is moving too fast. However, burning the candle at both ends is ultimately unproductive. Exhaustion leaves no energy for the most important things—your relationships with others and the Lord.Work and Rest: Finding the Right BalanceWhile God calls us to work for our families, His Kingdom, and the community, He also emphasizes the need for rest. Rest is God's idea as much as work is. God rested on the seventh day of Creation—not out of tiredness, but because His work was complete. He blessed that rest and called it holy. The Sabbath, enshrined as one of the Ten Commandments, shows how much God values rest. We need time to be with the Lord, reconnect with loved ones, relax, enjoy God's creation, exercise, breathe deeply, and sleep!Technology enables us to work from anywhere at any time, but that doesn't mean we should. Creating margin in our work means getting enough rest to do our jobs “as unto the Lord” with purpose and energy. Staying late at the office or skipping vacations might make you look diligent, but the stress and broken relationships that follow are too high a price for professional progress.However, it's important to distinguish between proper rest and laziness. Laziness is choosing not to do what you're supposed to or doing the bare minimum. This goes against God's purpose for us, which involves good works. In his first letter to the Thessalonians, Paul advises the church to “…warn those who are idle and disruptive,” implying that inactivity can lead to trouble. The saying “Idle hands are the devil's workshop” is a testament to this idea.The Dangers of IdlenessIn 1 Timothy 5, Paul highlights other dangers of idleness, such as gossiping and leading others into sin. Idleness, unproductiveness, and laziness open the door to harmful habits. Contrarily, Proverbs 31 praises the “woman of noble character” for her hard work in caring for her family, running her business, training her workers, and providing for the poor. Verse 27 confirms that she “does not eat the bread of idleness.”Laziness can also mean spending too much time on unimportant activities like endless scrolling through Instagram or mindlessly shopping online. At its core, laziness is a failure to take care of responsibilities. Paul provides a stern example in 1 Timothy 5:8, stating, “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”If laziness tempts you, turn to Jesus in prayer. 1 John 1:9 assures us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”Whether your issue is working too hard or hardly working, it's time to restore the margin in your work and finances. Do your work “as unto the Lord,” as Colossians 3:23 advises. And if you're feeling overwhelmed, find comfort in Jesus' words from Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Where should I go to find a Certified Kingdom Advisor to get a referral for a godly estate planning attorney?I paid a capital gains tax a few years ago when I sold some stock. Even though my income from my job was below the limit to be taxed at 0% for long-term capital gains, they taxed me on the full capital gains amount as if that was my adjusted gross income. I want to check with my tax preparer since I thought I should have gotten taxed at 0% based on my income that year.Please give me a simplified explanation of a money market account. My new husband and I are considering putting some retirement money into one.Given all the economic uncertainties, does it make sense for someone in their 70s who is still working, with money in a 401k and savings account, to consider spending that money now on something of value like real estate? I'm concerned about the dollar's devaluation and wanted your perspective on proactively spending the money versus letting it sit in investments and seeing what happens.Resources Mentioned:The Overload Syndrome: Learning to Live Within Your Limits by Dr. Richard SwensonMargin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives by Dr. Richard SwensonBankrate.comRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Ever find yourself running on empty, longing for a moment of peace in the relentless pace of life? Justin and I explore the tapestry of rest woven into the very fabric of Christian theology, discovering its profound implications for our daily lives. From the divine example set on the seventh day of creation to the intricate fabric of biblical numerology, this episode is a celebration of milestone moments and the power of rest in scripture. We weave personal stories with theological insight, comparing the Jewish Sabbath with today's Christian practices, and revealing how these ancient traditions continue to shape our modern lives.The quest for rest goes beyond the physical as we venture into the deeper biblical narrative of an eschatological rest, offering a vision of sanctification and completeness in Christ. This episode peels back the layers of our existential unrest, tracing its roots to the imperfections of our fallen world. We unpack the scriptural antidote to life's weariness, balancing the hard work of contributing to God's creation with the spiritual rejuvenation that comes with true rest—an act that requires trust and faith in the divine.Support the show

In this episode we discuss everything that the title suggests. In today's day and age we are noticing more and more people feeling burnout and overwhelmed either by life or work. In times like this rest becomes a priority which most of don't feel like taking because we attach our self-worth to the amount of work we do which can be very unhealthy. Rest is an essential part of our daily life and each of us have our own individual way we rest. One thing may work for some but not for others. It's time we prioritize ourselves and find how we can rest to have a more joyful life.All our offerings are mentioned below!Connect with us: Instagram (Aayush): https://www.instagram.com/aayush_yoga/ (Rebecca): https://instagram.com/rebeccajaneyoga?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= (thelifeandyogapodcast): https://instagram.com/thelifeandyogapodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/364513599470537/Work with us!:Yoga: Calm the mind programme - https://www.rebeccajaneyoga.com/yogaprgramme30-Hour Breathwork and Pranayama Online Teacher Training - https://www.aayushyoga.com/pranayama-ttc Grab your copy of Aayush's book: https://a.co/d/98uVR9i Email: (Aayush): aayushyoga@hotmail.com (Rebecca): rebeccajanec@hotmail.co.uk

What brings you rest? Is it something that’s easy for you to embrace, or do you find yourself struggling with it? Co-hosts Kayla Craig, Alissa Molina, and Patricia Taylor talk about the need for rest—to nourish ourselves and to love one another—in our final episode of the season. In this episode, we:Discuss how rest can be a struggle when it is often considered selfish or something to be earned instead of an innate needAcknowledge that rest is an act of resistance against grind culture and even the Western church’s culture of production and productivityAsk each other what it takes to be able to say we are worthy of rest and to believe itConsider the interconnectedness of rest: when we fill ourselves up through our rest, that frees us and creates margin to give so that others may experience restTalk about what’s at stake when we don’t rest and how our refusal to rest is a refusal to rest in GodWonder what it looks like for us to take cues from our bodies and the physical life around us and grow in awareness of those invitations to restJoin us as we conclude our fifth season with this conversation about the necessity of rest. We hope it speaks to you and encourages you to regard this act as loving and essential to the well-being of yourself and those around you. News, Notes, and Links:Savoring this quote: “God's creation is a life-giving inhale for all of us, and Sabbath is the exhale.” ― Shelly Miller, Rhythms of Rest: Finding the Spirit of Sabbath in a Busy WorldAnd this one, also from Shelly Miller: “Extravagant wastefulness in time might prove the most productive thing you choose for yourself.”Add “‘All of Your Ways Are Peace” by The Porter’s Gate to your playlist and soak it in.Support more conversations like this on Upside Down Podcast!

Allison's experienced it all when it comes to work: the thrill of succeeding, feeling purpose in her job, the excitement of going to work every day. However, after leaving no time for relationships, taking care of her health, or living a life outside of work, Allison learned that, no matter how great work is, it shouldn't rule her life. In this episode, Allison and Katie take you along with them on a day of Sabbath as they discuss Allison's experience with burnout, how we currently live in an unhealthy culture of hurry, and the importance of God-centered rest.CreditsHosted, written, and edited by Katie HudsonMusic by Zachary CastilloSpecial thanks to Allison Rackley for letting us tell her story.

Rest and restoration are both gifts from God. What many of us need now is rest - we simply need a break from all that is weighing us down. And when all of the madness passes, much of our world will need a rebuild. The good news is that He is good for that too.Talk about it to God and others.Have a quiet time.Take a Sabbath.

Where we place our hope in times of trouble is of utmost importance. God is the source of a brighter future and He is where we must place our hope. When we do this, we can be a source of hope for others.Rely on past hopes fulfilled.Put some respect on his name.Hope doesn’t have an expiration date.

Time after time, God delivers his people from their disaster. It may not always be in our ideal time period, or through ideal means, but in the end the victory is His.What Jesus can do is beyond comprehension.God’s deliverance doesn’t always come in the way we hope it will.We have a guaranteed deliverance with Christ.

Fear must never stop us from moving forward - we can carry through the darkest of times because of our faith in God. However, having faith doesn’t mean we don't have fears along the way - it just means that our faith rules over our fears. Faith is knowing that God will work in situations that you can’t handle on your own, He will use all seasons for your good, and that nothing will separate us from the love of God.

Song lyrics available here: shorturl.at/abqtx Sing along with us!The pandemic is a lot to deal with. Right now, we all feel out of control and are unsure about so many things. But peace is ours for the taking, won by our God and provided freely to those who seek it. The question for today is this: is the God of the Old Testament and New Testament the same God who exists today? If so, He is still in control - just as He was then.Accept that God is in control.Know that God truly cares for you.Find things to be thankful for.

Have you ever taken a day off, but afterwards you still felt tired and unrested? Like me, you might struggle to find rest on your off-day. In the final part of this series we take a very practical approach at the “how to” of rest. What can and shouldn't you do on your day of rest?

Have you ever felt like you can't take a day off because everything you are busy with might just start to fall apart if you are not in control? We often struggle to rest, because of this wrong belief. When we learn to rest God's way, the opposite is true: we discover God's supernatural provision and our own God-given strengths, in everything we are busy with. Join us for part 2 of this series as we explore the benefits of resting in Jesus.
