What if you took “rest” as seriously as “thou shalt not kill”?

In this episode, Rafer breaks down one of the most misunderstood commandments — rest. We talk about the cultural obsession with busyness, how Christians confuse doing for God with being with God, and why rest is not a luxury — it’s a command and a gift.

You’ll hear practical stories from Rafer’s own Sabbath rhythm (including Mario Party Saturdays with the family), insight from Psalm 23 and the Ten Commandments, and a reminder that only good things come from rest.

🧠 Inside this episode:

• Why “busy” is not a badge of honor.
• How rest reconnects you with God, yourself, and others.
• Why rest is counter-cultural and holy.
• The freedom that comes when you trust God to do the math.
