Tired With You vs. Tired Of You
March 5th, 2022 | 1 hr 18 mins
When society itself is burned out, men and women are no longer tired but exhausted. We experience this as "I'm tired of you". It's hyperpassivity and non-rest. Sabbath is holy because you REST from WORK. The only way back to genuine tiredness is shared prayer, shared mission, shared learning, and shared fellowship.

Gomer contemplated quitting because he's doing a hundred things and realized that so is Luke. It's a bit much, but we are doing this to ourselves. Over and over again.
