  Speaker 1: Welcome back everybody to the Clay to Crown podcast. I'm
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: your host, Amanda Hughes. I want to encourage you to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: check out my website. You can go to claytocrown.com and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: check it out. I have blog posts there and my
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: book is on there and then you can get all
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the podcast episodes there as well. I don't have so
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: many yet, but I'm still consistently recording and so I'll
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: try to get that you know, database build up for you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I have teaching on YouTube as well. You can go
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to Amanda Hughes Ministries and see those teachings. Again, trying
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to build that up too. But today's episode is one
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that I believe many of us desperately need, especially, you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: here in the West. And we probably need it more
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: than what we realize. Today, we are talking about rest.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm not necessarily talking about the kind of rest
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that comes from collapsing on the couch at the end
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of a long day or after working in your yard
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and doing a lot of manual labor. I'm not talking
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: about that kind of rest. I'm talking about the kind
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of rest that comes from God, not the kind of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: rest that comes from squeezing in a nap. Right? That's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: not it. I mean the kind of rest that God created.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: The kind of rest that restores. The kind that frees.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: The kind of rest that heals the soul. And so,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to begin, everybody knows who Harriet Tubman is, I hope.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And if you don't, look her up. She's an amazing
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: woman in our... country's history. She was enslaved in Maryland
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and she escaped to freedom and she freed thousands of slaves, right?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Whether small groups of them or a large freeing with
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the Cumbee River Raid down here in South Carolina. She
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: was an amazing woman. She was called Moses, you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a navigator on the Underground Railroad. And this is her quote.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: She says, I freed thousands of slaves. but I could
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: have freed thousands more if they had known they were slaves. Now,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: when we first hear that quote, that sounds impossible, right?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: How could someone not know that they were enslaved? But
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the more that you sit with the words, the more
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you understand that she's saying something very profound and What
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: slavery does, it often hides beneath ignorance or denial. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: your freedom has to begin with recognition. And that has
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: everything to do with rest. So, Because we don't recognize
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the bondage that we're in, right? Many of us are bound.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: We're constrained. We feel obligated. We're coerced by things that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: we never imagined could become our taskmasters. Things that we
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: never imagined could enslave us. But often, they're good things.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: They're gifts, even. They're blessings. They're blessings. But when those
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: good things begin to control us, when our flesh recoils
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: at the idea of saying no, when we feel a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: pang of panic at the thought of stepping away, that's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the first sign that something is off. We may be
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: living as unaware captives. Again, going back to Harriet Tubman's quote,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: because these are good things, right? The things I'm about
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to say are good things, quote unquote. But when you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: want that bowl of ice cream, but that you know
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't, and so you have this internal war raging
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: inside of you, you know, the thought processes of your
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: mind say, oh, it won't hurt, oh, I'll start tomorrow,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you know, those sorts of things. Or that thought that
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: somebody asked you to do something, in the church even,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: somebody asked you to do something, and you really don't
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: have the time, but you're thinking if you say no,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: what would they think of you? And if you say no,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to serve, I'll look like I'm a bad Christian,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: all of these things. So we're bound. We're unaware captives.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: We're bound to work. We're bound to food, social media.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe we're bound to our hobbies or our children's schedules.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe we're bound to other people's expectations. That happens a lot.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: In church, we people expect certain things of us and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: we've developed that expectation. And so when we say no,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we're afraid to disappoint, right? Or we're bound to comparison,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: bound to busyness. And so then though that captivity, that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: bondage is the very thing that keeps us from, from rest.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And so when we think of rest, we automatically need
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to start doing a little bit of biblical theology. When
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: we think about Christian rest and what it means to rest,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: like true spiritual rest, we have to look at it
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: through a lens of biblical theology. And so when we're thinking, again,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of true biblical rest, our mind also often goes to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the word Sabbath. And when we think of Sabbath... I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: think a lot of us think of it as a day, right?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: A 24-hour period, because that's essentially what it is, especially
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in the Old Testament. It was a dusty tradition, you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: something ancient, unnecessary. Like a lot of times today, people, oh,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I don't need a 24-hour period to rest, right? And
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: on one hand, that's true, and I'll peel the onion
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: back on that a little bit. But Scripture kind of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: paints us a different story, but it's not in the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: way that you think. And again, we'll peel it back.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: We're doing some biblical theology this episode. Genesis 2.2 says,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on the seventh day God completed His work, and He rested. Right?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: And I kind of took out some words there, but
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that's essentially what it says. on the seventh day God
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: completed His work, He looked over everything, and then He rested.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And at first glance, that might sound like God finished
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: everything on day six and simply took a break on
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: day seven. But a Jewish rabbi named Abraham Herschel, in
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: his commentary on this, he noticed something a little bit deeper.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: On the seventh day, God did complete his work. But
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: this seems to imply that there was still an act
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of creation on the seventh day. So what is it?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: What are we missing? What was missing from the universe
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: after six days? And the scripture says it. It was rest.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: God created, still creating, because God doesn't stop, right? He
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't need to take a break. He's always moving. He's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: always working. So, he created something on that seventh day,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and what he created was rest. Menuhah is the Hebrew
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: word for rest. Menuhah. This is not rest as in
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: collapse or exhaustion like I was talking about at the beginning. Okay,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this is not rest as inactivity, but this is a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: rest that's where something created, something positive, something essential, right?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: After six days, he says, this is good, this is good,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: this is good. And then he looked at everything and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it is very good, but he needed to round that out.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: So this is something essential, right? And the Hebrew word there, minuha,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and I hope I'm saying it right. If you look
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: at Hebrew dictionaries, it's tranquility, serenity, peace, repose. And I've
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: talked about repose in a different episode, right? It's a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: word that we don't use much anymore, but it's leaning
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: our weight on something else. So this minuha, it's not necessarily,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean the absence of work, not inactivity, right?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: But I think what it's getting at is it's a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: presence of wholeness, of serenity, of peace. God wasn't taking
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a breather. He was finishing creation. Because without rest, the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: world was incomplete. You know, in 7th day... seven in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Hebrew tradition is a number of completeness, right? So, without rest,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the universe was incomplete. And we tend to view Sabbath,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: going back to the other Hebrew word that is sometimes
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: translated as rest, Sabbath, we look at it as stopping,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you know, stopping something, stopping work, stopping activity, stopping productivity. So,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But God intended Sabbath to be the creation of something,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a state of being marked by peace, by margin, by
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: holy stillness. I believe that he created on that seventh day,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: he created a state of tranquility, of serenity, of peace. Right?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: When Adam and Eve walked in the garden, everything was
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in balance. Relationships were whole. And so... and the Lord
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: walked with them, and where the presence of the Lord is,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: there is peace and there is freedom, right? I don't
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: think that this is necessarily a passive idea of just
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: stopping something. I think that these are active realities because
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: God wanted his people to live in a positive state
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of being in a life shaped by peace, not by exhaustion. So,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: let me ask you, Are there areas in your life,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: good things, needful things, that are controlling you and keeping
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you from rest, keeping you from practicing manuha, from rest?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Is it work? Is it food? Is it your children,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: your hobbies, your social media, other people's opinions, your marriage, exercise, shopping?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Anything can become a taskmaster. Anything can put us into bondage.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And so when we neglect rest, when we refuse to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: create space for tranquility, serenity, peace, we limit our Christ-likeness.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: We fill our lives with things that don't matter in eternity.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah 25, 7 warns us that we can become, that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: we can even bring harm to ourselves by The prophet says,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you have not listened to me, that you might provoke
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: me to anger with the works of your hands and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: do your own harm. Isaiah 30, 15 says, only in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: returning to me and resting in me will you be saved.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: In quietness and confidence is your strength. And then comes
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the heartbreaking line, but none of you but you would
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: have none of it. Excuse me. I'll say that part again.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Isaiah 30, 15. Only in returning to me and resting
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: is your strength, but you would have none of it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: We resist the very thing God created to restore us.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Because somewhere along the way, even inside the church, we
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: began to believe that busier is better, that margin is laziness,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that saying no is weakness, and that rest is for
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: people who can't keep up. But if the God of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the universe... all knowing, all powerful, all present, valued rest
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: enough to weave it into creation, then rest is not weakness.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Rest is wisdom, it's obedience, and it's freedom. God is
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: not embarrassed to say no. He is not ashamed to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: create margin. He is not afraid to pause. Why are we?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Why are we? Sabbath rest was meant to be a gift,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a boundary that protected joy, a margin that made life livable,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: a rhythm that kept God at the center. But Israel
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: struggled to appreciate it. They put laws in place to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: create margin around Sabbath, so they were so bound up
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: by the Sabbath. It's crazy. Like the things that they
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: could not do in a 24-hour period otherwise for fear
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that they would be breaking the law of the Sabbath.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Like they couldn't move a chair more than five feet.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: You know, it's things like that. And that's not the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Sabbath rest that God ever intended. When he says to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, keep it set apart,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: He's talking about our serenity. He's talking about our peace.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Remember peace. Keep it holy. Set yourselves apart. Don't do
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: what the world does. That's what it's talking about. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Israel struggled to appreciate it. They put all these laws
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: in place to try to keep it, but they didn't
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: understand its true intent. And by Jesus' day, the religious
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: leaders had buried the gift under the rules and regulations
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that I just talked about. So its initial purpose was
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: ultimately lost. But today, we've done the opposite. We've ignored
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the gift of rest entirely. Hebrews 4 reminds us that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: a rest still remains for the people of God. It's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: not just a day, but it's a way of living.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: It's a posture of trust, of willingness to cease striving,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a heart that refuses to be enslaved by anything less
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: than God. Verse 11 of chapter 4 of Hebrews says,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to let us make every effort to enter that rest.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Rest takes effort. Margin takes intention. Sabbath takes courage. Eugene Peterson,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the author of the Message Bible, Eugene Peterson describes Sabbath
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: as quieting the internal noise so we hear the still,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: small voice of the Lord. So, where do we begin?
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I think for our context in Western Christianity, we begin
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: with a simple but sometimes difficult word. No. The Hebrew
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: word for Sabbath, Shabbat, does mean to cease, to stop,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to pause. It's an active choice. It's deliberate. It's putting
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a boundary. So say no to the next favor, no
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to the next impulse purchase, no to the next piece
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of cake, no to the next play date, no to
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the next scroll, the next comparison, the next pressure to
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: keep up. Say no to whatever holds you captive. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that's going to take some self-reflection for you. What holds
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: me captive from entering into tranquility, serenity, peace, and repose?
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: What do I have to say no to? You say
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: no so you can say yes to those things. Say
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: yes to the things that God created for you. Galatians
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: 5 reminds us that the Holy Spirit empowers self-control, that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: we are not left to fight our flesh alone. We
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: walk by the Spirit, and He strengthens us to choose freedom. So,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Rest is not a burden. Sabbath is not a burden.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: It's not a rule. It's not a relic held over,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you know, from ancient times. Sabbath is a gift. A loving, gracious,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: God-given gift designed to break the chains inside of us.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: The chains of busyness, of comparison, of addiction, of fear,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and even the chain of self-reliance. If we think we
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: can do it all ourselves, we don't need to lean
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: into the Lord. Sabbath is a space where God restores us.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: It's the margin where we remember who we are. Sabbath
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: is the freedom we were created for. So return to him.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Rest in him. Let him give you the peace he
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: created on the seventh day. And what does it say,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you know, that God did, you know, he finished, you know,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: going back to Genesis 2, 2, he finished the work
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that he had done. Think about that. Where else have
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: we heard or seen that theme in scripture? When Jesus
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: says in Matthew 11, he says, come to me, all
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you who are burdened and heavy laden, and I will
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: give you rest. give you rest, how does he do that?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: How did he do that? How is he continuing to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: do that? How does he give his people rest? How
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: does he give them tranquility, peace, serenity, repose, leaning our weight?
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Matthew 11 continues on and says, take my yoke upon
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you and I will make your burdens light, right? That's
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: paraphrased by Amanda. But That's repose. When you repose upon something,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you're leaning your weight into it. So it's taking the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: bulk of your weight. Jesus wants us to repose on him.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I talked about that in a previous episode, right? And
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: so he says, come to me, all you who are
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: burdened and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Well,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: how did he do that? What is the last words
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that he says on the cross? He says, it is finished.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: So just like he did as the person of God,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the Father, at the beginning of creation, finished the work
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: that he had done and he rested, Jesus on the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: cross says, it is finished. And he finished the work
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: he had done. So we could rest, rest in him.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: That's how he does it. And we have to accept
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: it as a free gift. And, you know, practically we like, well,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: what does that look like? You know, is it a
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: 24 hour period? What is... No, I don't believe that
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: it is. Now, some of you might believe that, and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that's okay. I don't think that we need to be
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: legalistic about it necessarily, and that's where it comes into.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Where do you find that tranquility, that peace, that repose?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Where do you find your serenity? Some people, you might
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: find it... By just, you know, relaxing and reading a book.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You might find it, you know, going to the beach and,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: you know, meditating on the word and praying. You might
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: find it in the mountains. You know, you might find it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: It's somewhere where you find where you can commune with God.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: That's what I believe. And it doesn't necessarily have to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: be a 24-hour period because that was the law. That
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: was the law. That was established in Exodus. And so
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I find it, you know, and I've told this story
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a lot. I have a flower garden, my yard. I
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: appreciate my yard. I try to take care of it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And now, you know, in the mornings... I walk around
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: with my pruning scissors and I'll just start, you know,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: clipping buds or pulling weeds or, you know, walking around
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and looking at the beauty of the flowers and the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: intricacies and the bees and the butterflies that are collecting
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: their nectar, and I pray and I commune with the Father,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and sometimes I'll start singing a worship song or whatever,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: but I'm at one with Him resting and finding that
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: peace and finding that serenity, and I'm talking to Him.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: That's what it's about. That's what it's about. Returning to Him,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: let Him give you the peace that He created on
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the seventh day. So, I just want to maybe pray
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: over you in this. Sometimes I pray in these episodes,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes I don't, but for this I feel led that
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I want to pray over you. So, Heavenly Father, thank
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you for creating rest. It wasn't an afterthought, but it
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: was the finishing touch of your creation. Teach us to
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: recognize the chains that we've grown comfortable wearing. Give us
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: courage to say no. Give us strength to say margin.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Quiet our internal voice so we can hear your still
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: small voice. Lead us to where we can find Minuha,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: whatever that looks like. where we can find tranquility, serenity,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and peace and repose. Father, we return to you. We
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: rest in you through Jesus Christ, and we trust you
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: to restore us. In Jesus' name, amen. Thank you for
