What if rest wasn’t just about recharging... but about becoming ready to heal others?
In this week’s episode, Pastor James dives deep into the story of the Good Samaritan to explore how rest and compassion are intimately connected. You’ll learn why biblical rest creates margin for ministry—and how Jesus uses oil, wine, and bandages to show us what healing love looks like.
Whether you’re a lifelong believer or just exploring faith, this episode invites you to slow down, see people differently, and join Jesus in the sacred work of restoration.
Key Topics:
- Sabbath as preparation for compassion
- Understanding the symbolism of oil and wine
- The cost—and calling—of loving your neighbor
- Healing as a lifestyle of rest and obedience
Tune in now and rediscover what it means to rest with purpose.
