What if the rest you’ve been chasing is already yours in Christ? We open Scripture and conscience to challenge the fear that drives spiritual overwork, walking through Colossians 2 and Hebrews 4 to show how Jesus’ victory frees us from ritual scorekeeping. Along the way, we ask uncomfortable but freeing questions: is Sabbath primarily a date to keep or a moral reality to live? What did Sabbath look like before Levitical details and church calendars? And how do we resist legalism without dismissing the joy of gathered worship?

Together we explore the heart of the fourth commandment as a moral command that centers on trust, delight, and dependence. We talk about union with Christ, imputed righteousness, and why his perfect love for the Father gives us a secure place to rest without guilt. This isn’t permission to be careless; it’s an invitation to be honest. If real devotion shows up in Monday Scripture reading, quiet prayer, and faithful care for people, why let a single time slot define your standing with God? We name our modern rationalizations, the pressure to perform, and the relief that comes from sitting still enough to hear the Lord.

The conversation is warm, real, and full of fellowship. There’s space for hard questions, laughter, and practical takeaways: guard your conscience with Scripture, refuse shame disguised as zeal, and measure practices by whether they lead you closer to Jesus. If rest is moral and rooted in the heart, it should animate every day, not just one. Join us as we trade performance for presence and rediscover Sabbath as a signpost to the grace that holds us.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s weary of spiritual striving, and leave a review with your own definition of rest—we’d love to hear it.
