S1. Ep5. - The Truth About Rest

“Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.” — Exodus 20:8

Rest isn’t a luxury. It’s a command.
And if you're building powerful projects for God but ignoring Sabbath rest, you’re breaking covenant—even if your heart’s in the right place.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really means to rest God’s way. You’ll learn why rest is sacred, what it protects you from, and how to actually build rest into your routine without losing momentum. Spoiler alert: when you honor Sabbath, God multiplies your efforts in return.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why Sabbath rest is non-negotiable for Christian leaders, builders, and entrepreneurs

• How resting is an act of trust—and what it says about your faith

• Biblical proof that God blesses rest and builds faster than you ever could

• The difference between resting in your own strength and resting in God's promises

• A practical approach to scheduling Sabbath without dropping the ball

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Exodus 20:8-11 — Sabbath rest as a commandment

• 1 Kings 5:13-14 — Solomon’s strategic rest plan during the temple build

• Genesis 2:2-3 — God resting after creation

• Matthew 12:1-12 — Jesus accused of “working” on the Sabbath

🧠 Key Points:

• Sabbath is a covenant, not a suggestion—it comes before “Thou shall not kill” and “Thou shall not steal.”

• Jesus was accused multiple times for healing and feeding His disciples on the Sabbath because rest was treated with deep reverence.

• If you’re not resting, you’re not giving God your first fruits (time, mind, energy).

• If your first fruits are drained or disordered, God isn’t getting your best.

• Lack of rest = lack of trust. It says: “If I stop, it won’t get done.”

• But when you rest, you give God permission to accelerate your progress.

💬 Copy & Paste Boundary Phrases:

Use these to protect your rest time:

• “I won’t be available this weekend as I’m observing Sabbath.”

• “I’ll respond on Monday—thank you for your patience as I prioritize rest.”

• “I protect my weekends so I can serve you better during the week!”
