What if the key to becoming more fruitful in your work isn't doing more... but learning to rest the way God designed?

In this episode, Tom Nelson explores the biblical rhythm of work and rest, revealing why Sabbath is far more than an ancient religious practice. Drawing from Genesis 2, the Fourth Commandment, and Hebrews 4, Tom shows how God's pattern of six days of work and one day of rest is a gift for human flourishing that ultimately points us to the deeper rest found in Jesus Christ.

You'll learn:

-Why God designed work and rest to function as a life-giving rhythm rather than a work-life balance to achieve

-How the weekly Sabbath reflects God's creation design and points to the ultimate rest found in Christ

-Practical ways to begin building a healthy rhythm of Sabbath, whatever your career or stage of life

-Why embracing God's gift of rest can strengthen your relationships, renew your soul, and make your work more fruitful

You were created not only to work, but also to rest. As a follower of Jesus, embracing God's rhythm of Sabbath is one of the most powerful ways to flourish in your faith, your relationships, and your Monday work, discovering that true productivity begins from a place of rest in Him.
