Episode 8 | The Anchor: Rest
What Does God Say About Rest?
What comes to mind when you hear the word rest?
Relief?
Longing?
Guilt?
Resistance?
In this first episode of our June Anchor Word series, we begin with the Anchor Lens of the Known & Becoming Method:
What does God say about rest?
Together, we’ll explore:
• Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28-30
• The biblical meanings of rest
• Why rest existed before sin entered the world
• The purpose of Sabbath in Scripture
• What Jesus taught about Sabbath and freedom
• The difference between rest and idleness
• Why Proverbs 31 is often misunderstood in conversations about rest
• Psalm 23 and the Shepherd who restores our souls
• Hebrews 4 and the ultimate rest found in Christ
If you’ve ever struggled to stop, felt guilty for slowing down, or believed your worth was tied to your productivity, this conversation is for you.
Rest is not weakness.
Rest is worshipful trust.
