SHOW NOTES

When we feel anxious and exhausted, we want to escape and make it all go away by attempting to fill our lives with pleasures that may temporarily make us forget, but they don’t actually bring us rest. In today’s episode, Jesus has a different recipe for rest, but it sounds like He is inviting these worn-down, worn-out people to do more work. Keep listening, because things aren’t always what they seem.
