Are you caught in the tumultuous whirlwind of work and busyness, feeling more burned out than ever? "Return, O my soul, to your rest" - these words from Psalm 116:7 remind us of our need to slow down and appreciate the blessings around us. This episode of The Lion with Dennis explores the significance of rest and surrender, not just in our physical sleep patterns, but also in our spiritual lives. We take a step back in time, before the invention of the light bulb, exploring how our ancestors rested without the constant connectivity we now live with. We unpack how this constant availability, especially in industries like manufacturing, affects our ability to truly rest.
