Introduction

Is the reason that gospel workers are tired because they don't understand what rest is? Derek and Scott discuss three myths of rest:

Myth #1: Doing more work does not make us better workers: 

Truth #1: Resting makes us better, more effective workers

Myth #2: I don’t need to rest, that’s what holidays are for

Truth#2: You can’t binge your rest, it needs to be a habit

Myth #3: I get some sleep each night.  That’s rest.

Truth #3: Sleep is important but is not rest.
