As humans made in God’s image, we are called to work. And yet, as modeled by our Creator, we are also made to rest. This panel will explore the relationship between our God-given calling to work and our mandate to rest. What are common roadblocks to organizing our lives in ways that honor both these callings? How can we unify all aspects of our lives in a faith-filled dependence on God? Discovering God-ordained rhythms for a sustainable life impacts how we live in faith and fulfill God’s mission in the world.
