Finding Rest for Your Soul
Last week, I addressed the topic of rest. Many of us are not skilled at balancing work and rest, or we don’t really understand what gives rest to our soul. (Hint: it’s not leisure!) I thought I would pass along a few resources which might provide wisdom and encouragement to find rest for your soul.
- Andy Crouch’s book How to Create Good Work and Good Rest
- Tim Keller’s sermon from Luke 6 on Work and Rest
- Help in unplugging from the world in order to open yourself up to finding soul rest: Screen Sabbaths
- A great book on the need to care for your soul, Soul Custody by Stephen Smith:
- One of the primary books I have been using in our study of Moses was written by Ruth Haley Barton. In this interview titled Invitation to Silence & Solitude, she talks about the need for solitude and silence. It’s a great conversation.
Leaders, I do pray for you and hope the resources above help you find rest for your soul.
“This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls” –Jeremiah 6:16
