E126: Finding Rest in Familiar Practices

7/2/2024
What if experiencing soul-soothing rest is more accessible than you think? It doesn't require hours of silent mediation, a new book, or some recently rediscovered spiritual discipline. In fact, our guest would suggest it really doesn't require you to add anything. It might just require a simple reframe of the things you're already doing. This week, we're joined by preacher, author, and InterVarsity's National Director of Alumni Relations, Jason Gaboury. And Jason is going to help us wrap up our series on rest with some surprisingly familiar (and simple) practices for experiencing rest in our day-to-day lives. Listen in and rest up!
