The Psalmist describes salvation like this, “He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.” (Psalm 18:19). Yet, so many of us feel like our lives are closing in around us with too many commitments and responsibilities. Jesus famously says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28). Yet, sometimes our faith life leaves us feeling extra weary, more burdened, and further from rest than we were before we started. This summer, we want to focus on the practices and promises of the sustainable and restful spirituality found in the Way of Jesus. What if the call of Jesus isn’t actually to do more, but to do less with greater intention?
