I've been doing this new practice lately Also trying to build it into the practice of taking like real genuine breaks during the day where I just take you know Like 10 minutes of contemplative prayer in the middle of the work Precisely to like be okay with that incompleteness and actually experience rest in the midst of incompletion.
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?

The conversation is Good Faith at its best, combining Biblical theology, cultural analysis, and practical living.
