Summary

In this episode of The Onyx Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer discusses the importance of rest in a world that often glorifies busyness and exhaustion. He draws parallels between his own experiences and the biblical story of Elijah, emphasizing that rest is not a sign of weakness but a necessary part of spiritual and physical health. The conversation explores how God responds to our exhaustion, the significance of maintaining a healthy rhythm in life, and how intentional rest can lead to greater capacity for service and fulfillment.
