Episode Title: Trust, Identity, and the Gift We Keep Rejecting
Series: Reframing Rest
Speaker: Pastor Charlie Kim
In This Episode:
Why do we resist rest?
In this episode, Pastor Charlie unpacks the biblical rhythm of Sabbath—and why we so often fight the very thing our souls are starving for. Rest isn’t laziness. It’s worship. And it’s not a reward for being productive—it’s a rhythm that reclaims our peace, trust, and identity.
📖 In This Episode:
- Why God rested even though He wasn’t tired
- How Sabbath reorients our identity in Christ
- The dangers of hustle culture and performative faith
- What it means to trust God enough to stop
This message may be the reset your soul has been waiting for.
Main Idea:
Sabbath isn’t just about stopping. It’s about trusting. God’s invitation to rest is a call to reframe how we view our identity, our pace, and our relationship with Him.
📖 Key Scriptures:
- Hebrews 6:1–2
- Matthew 25:31–46
- Revelation 20:11–15
- 2 Peter 3:8–10
🔑 Key Points:
- God rested not because He was tired, but because He was finished.
- Sabbath is rooted in identity, not productivity.
- Rest is a declaration of trust: “God, I believe You can handle this without me.”
- The world says, “Hustle to prove yourself.” God says, “Rest to remember who you are.”
- Jesus reframes rest—not as a restriction, but as a rhythm for restoration.
