Episode 80 - Exploring the Profound Wisdom and Relevance of Biblical Rest with Donna Jones
Hey friend!
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant rush of life? Imagine taking an entire year off, not just to unwind, but to restore your soul and reestablish your trust in God’s provision. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? But also, utterly impossible.
Inspired by Leviticus 25 –a scripture that once seemed obscure and completely irrelevant to me and my life (I mean seriously, Leviticus???)– I learned a transformative lesson about the importance of rest. This divine directive, revolutionary even thousands of years ago, still holds powerful insights for our lives today.
We share a hearty conversation about how rest, as intended by God, can be both a restorative experience and a test of trust. A challenge so often brushed aside in our workaholic culture. We also consider the profound idea that rest is a concept highlighted by Jesus Himself.
It's time we reconsidered the value of intentional rest and, in doing so, discover a journey of faith and trust in God's and His provision for our life. So, are you ready to uncover the wisdom of rest as we delve into Leviticus 25? (Trust me, you’ll definitely learn something you didn’t know from this episode!) Let's dive right in.
Xo,
Donna
