Episode 211: DANGEROUSLY TIRED?

from Pod Have Mercy Hosted by John Stephens/Matt Russell

What does it mean to be dangerously tired - emotionally, spiritually, and physically? In this episode of Pod Have Mercy, John Stephens, Matt Russell, and Geoff Wood unpack the ancient wisdom of Sabbath as more than a rule - it's a divine invitation to rest, resist compulsion, and reclaim our humanity. Drawing from the Desert Fathers, Barbara Brown Taylor, and Henry Nouwen, they explore what happens when we ignore our limits and how practicing Sabbath can help us recover joy, trust, and freedom from the tyranny of “always doing.” If you’ve ever found yourself weary, restless, or unable to slow down, this conversation might be the reminder your soul has been waiting for.
