Alex and Karrie sit down to discuss the counter-cultural idea of finding value in resting and restoration. They talk about how we need rest in order to tap back into God’s presence, so when moving forward into the next season, we also move closer to God. Alex shares his own experiences with rest in his weekly sabbaths and his recent sabbatical.
Alex is the Spiritual Formation Pastor at The Hope Collective Church in Lake Zurich, Illinois. After being on his own journey of what it means to rest, Alex has created a guide for taking time to rest. ”Ready to Rest: A Sabbatical Guide for Ministry Leaders”  takes a more in-depth look at best practices, tips, and tools for preparing for time away.
