E23 - Sabbath in a Culture That Never Stops

We live in a culture that celebrates the grind. Hustle is the badge of honor. But what if the constant go-go-go is actually working against us?

I sat down with my best friend Stanton Moore, Senior Pastor at Burn Culture Church, to talk about Sabbath - what it actually is, why it's so hard, and why God commanded rest in the first place.

This one got personal. We talked about feeling guilty when we're not productive, tying our identity to what we accomplish, and the slow poison of never slowing down. Stanton challenged me with a question I'm still thinking about: Do we really trust God enough to stop?

In this conversation, we cover:

• Why rest is so hard for driven people
• What Sabbath actually is - a day, a rhythm, or a mindset?
• The cost of ignoring rest - burnout, anger, and soul decay
• Why refusing to rest might be a trust issue
• What rest looks like practically with young kids and busy lives
• Why resting isn't passive - it's actually aggressive
• The difference between being busy and being productive

"People think that resting is passive, but resting is actually very aggressive - because what it says is Lord, I'm putting you in the driver's seat of my life."

If you've been running on empty and know something has to change, this one's for you.
