Deep dives

The Theology of Leisure

Understanding leisure from a biblical perspective is crucial for Christians. Leisure is often misunderstood as merely a time to relax or do nothing, but it encompasses a more profound attitude towards enjoying God's blessings and the world around us. It requires a mindset of gratitude, recognizing leisure not just as a reward for hard work but as a form of worship in itself. This reframing challenges the misconception that leisure and productivity are in opposition, suggesting instead that they can coexist harmoniously and serve a divine purpose.
