You're Not a Machine | What Jesus Says About Rest, Stress & Your Body

What if the way we treat our bodies is actually a spiritual issue? We’re really good at maintaining the machines we care about—changing the oil, checking the chain, cleaning the air filter—but somehow we expect our own bodies to keep running forever without maintenance. Jesus gives us a different way to live. In the final session of our series: Touch Grass, we look at what Jesus teaches about rest, stress, sleep, water, physical health, and trusting God enough to slow down. Because your body isn't a disposable machine...It’s a loved creation, made in the image of God and created for good. From dirt bikes to Jesus taking naps, this message is about learning to see God in the ordinary things—including the way we eat, sleep, drink, rest, and care for ourselves.
