Episode Title:

Sabbath & Surrender – Why Rest is a Weapon Against Overwork

We glorify the hustle, but God commands rest.

In this eye-opening episode of Breaking Free from the Idol of Productivity, Ron Cool calls out the lie that constant work equals godliness. You’ll be challenged to see rest not as a weakness—but as spiritual warfare.

We’re diving into the power of Sabbath: not as a luxury, but as obedience. If you’ve ever felt guilty slowing down or afraid of falling behind, this episode is your wake-up call to trust God more than your grind.

Episodes:

• 4.2 -   When Productivity Becomes an Idol – Redefining Success in God’s Eyes
• 4.11 - The Lie of Self-Sufficiency – Learning to Trust God with Your Time
• 4.18 - Sabbath & Surrender – Why Rest is a Weapon Against Overwork
• 4.25 - From Checking Boxes to Hearing God – Walking in Daily Obedience

Key Verse:

• “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” – Exodus 20:8

You’ll walk away with:

• A new vision for Sabbath as spiritual discipline
• Practical ways to integrate rest into your leadership and family life
• A guided prayer to surrender your schedule to God 

Challenge Statement:

• Write down one area of your life where you’ve been operating without God. Maybe it’s your business, your finances, your schedule, or your anxiety. Then — literally say out loud: “God, I trust You more than I trust myself here.”

Free 5-Day Bible Plan:

• It’s called “Breaking Free from the Idol of Productivity”
  Each day is short, powerful, and Scripture-based—designed to help you walk in freedom and trust God again with your work.
• GET YOUR FREE DEVOTIONAL

Take time to think about this, pray about it, and take one small step in obedience. Remember, divine interruptions aren’t just obstacles—they’re opportunities for God to do something amazing in your life.
