Episode Title: The Test Of Rest
Series: Reframing Rest
Speaker: Pastor Dennis Gallaher
Main Idea:
True rest begins with trust.
We struggle to embrace rest because we don’t fully trust that God will provide, protect, or come through. Sabbath isn’t just about stopping—it’s about surrendering. It’s a test of trust that reminds us: God is enough, and we don’t have to hold everything together.
In This Message:
What if your restlessness isn’t just about your schedule… but your trust?
In this episode of Monday Moments, we look at the story of manna in the wilderness and how Sabbath rest was never just about sleep or recovery—it was about trust. Trusting that God will provide. Trusting that we don’t have to hustle to hold everything together. Trusting that when we stop, He doesn’t.
If you’ve ever struggled to rest without guilt, feared falling behind, or felt like stopping meant losing control—this episode is for you.
Key Points:
- Why rest is more about trust than time
- How the Sabbath exposes our fears and self-reliance
- What it means to live in the “daily bread” mindset
- How Sabbath is a countercultural resistance to burnout
Key Scriptures:
- Exodus 16:1–35
- Hebrews 3:7–4:11
- Psalm 127:1–2
