Episode notes

Most people feel like their lives are in production mode for they're working for a corporation that they are producing something or they have to get a report out and so forth. I think what you're talking about May actually resonate with them on the problem side Because I do think I hear people say, "I am enslaved to my email" But leisure is not the same thing as rest Okay, let's put a pin on that one because I really want to dive into that distinction. If your system is unjust pray for God to set you free like he said Israel for me.

Longtime friend Andy Crouch joins Curtis to talk about what it means to truly rest the way God intended us to do so. Why is rest so important to creativity? What is the difference between rest and leisure? Is binge watching Netflix actually restful? What are other key mistakes we make in approaching this vital topic? The conversation is Good Faith at its best, combining Biblical theology, cultural analysis, and practical living.
