    Something Different Podcast | Episode 03

    In this episode of the SDP, Pastor Marty is joined by Pastors Craig + Darik to talk about something we could all use a little more of… rest.  Episode Resources: Year in Review / Questions to discover what is restful for you:  RPMS-EF: Ask yourself the question, “how am I…”  Relationally? Physically? Mentally? Spiritually? Emotionally? Financially? Serve Day is Saturday, July 20. Sign up to serve or register a project HERE: thebridgechurch.cc/serveday WE SERVE WITH JOY! It’s about right priorities. We can wait to bless SE Iowa with serve day projects at all 4 of our locations! Episode Summary: “Rest” Rest is often misunderstood and undervalued, but it is essential for our well-being. Genuine rest goes beyond simply sitting or lying down for a few minutes and requires intentional time to recharge and rejuvenate. Serving others can be restful and fulfilling for our souls. When we help and bless others, it not only benefits them but also brings joy and satisfaction to our own lives. Restraint is important for maintaining a healthy soul. It involves saying no to certain things or activities that may drain us or distract us from what truly matters. By practicing restraint, we can focus on what is truly important and find greater peace and contentment. Relationships play a crucial role in nourishing our souls. Connecting with others, sharing life experiences, and having meaningful conversations can bring a sense of belonging, support, and love. It is important to prioritize and invest in relationships that bring us joy and fulfillment. Taking time to reflect and evaluate our lives is essential for soul care. Asking ourselves questions about what fills us up, what drains us, and what areas of our lives need attention can help us identify areas for growth and improvement. Regular self-reflection and evaluation can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
