Sheila Wise Rowe | Rest and Resisting the Pace of Pharaoh
Update: 2025-05-15
Description
Rest can feel like an undeserved “luxury” for many of us — but what if it’s actually a gift from God to help us resist the “pharaohs” of our age that plague us with constant striving and endless productivity?
Sheila Wise Rowe, a counselor, spiritual director and author of “Healing Leadership Trauma,” joins this episode of Today’s Conversation podcast to explore the transformational power of rest — and why God’s rhythms for our lives are so different from the world’s relentless demands.
While our culture tends to measure value by output, the gospel offers a rich vision of rest as a practice that nurtures emotional, spiritual and communal flourishing. In this conversation, NAE President Walter Kim and Sheila Wise Rowe discuss:
- Why rest is central to the gospel;
- How to recognize signs of emotional and spiritual overdrive;
- Rhythms of rest woven throughout Scripture; and
- How God’s design for rest frees us.
