We know callings mean work, whether personal or professional. But do they require rest, too? Scripture is clear on this question: absolutely. In this talk, we’ll explore rest and vocation: how God calls us to rest as part of our work and relationships in the world and how Sabbath practices help us build resilience for the long haul of vocation. Rest is not simply self-care for the privileged but a counter-cultural witness to our faith in God’s care. Learn how you (yes, busy you!) can find more time and space for rest amid all that God calls you to be and do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
