Work, Rest, and the Sabbath: Finding Balance in a Busy World

Mar 20, 2025

Work hard, rest well—that’s the balance we all strive for, but is it really possible? This week on Trending, Matt and Pastor Joe dive into the biblical rhythms of work and rest, sparked by a surprising news story: South Korea is considering adopting a four-day workweek to help combat declining birth rates.


What does scripture actually say about work? Is rest just about taking time off, or is it something deeper—an act of trust and resistance? Matt and Joe explore how Sabbath has been practiced throughout history, why we struggle to truly rest, and how we can reclaim rhythms that lead to healthier, more sustainable lives.
