7 Forms of Rest: Spiritual, Social, Sensory, Creative
Ever feel completely exhausted despite getting enough sleep? There's a reason for that—and it goes beyond physical fatigue. In this second episode on rest, we dive deep into four often-overlooked forms of restoration that are essential for wholeness and recovery.
Continuing our exploration of Dr. Sandra Dalton-Smith's seven types of rest, we move beyond the physical, mental, and emotional to discover spiritual, social, sensory, and creative rest. Each offers a unique pathway to restoration that many of us desperately need but rarely recognize.
For anyone on a recovery journey or supporting a loved one through betrayal trauma, these forms of rest aren't luxuries—they're essential practices for healing and growth. Join us as we discover God's multifaceted invitation to find rest for our weary souls.

Fire comes down from heaven and Elijah defeats the prophets of Baal. And then he goes and for days and days and days he is exhausted. He just had the most spiritual high that anyone maybe in history has experienced Seeing fire from heaven come down and consume the offering. And then he is under the broom tree despairing of his life. He's so exhausted the Lord sends angels to meet his physical needs.
Speaker 1:We talked about this last week. We need physical rest. So he gets physical rest, food and water and then he just sleeps and sleeps and sleeps as he makes his way down to Mount Sinai. So we're in a two-part, two episodes back-to-back. On rest, we've talked about three forms of rest physical, mental and emotional. And I share that little vignette of Elijah the prophet, because even he, this man of God who just literally called down God's fire from heaven, needed rest. He needed physical rest, undoubtedly he needed emotional rest, running from the king's wife who wanted to kill him. He probably needed mental rest. And so we talked about those three. I'm on again with Kyle Bowman. Welcome, kyle, our director of ministries.
Speaker 2:Hello again, James.
Speaker 1:And we want to round out these seven forms of rest identified by Dr Sandra Dalton-Smith in her book Sacred Rest. We've talked about physical, mental and emotional and how all three of these are actually really key to growing in your recovery, to becoming a person of sexual integrity and hopefully, if you're a betrayed spouse who's listening, you realize there are probably a lot of ways that you need more than just more sleep although you might need more sleep if you're dealing with the early stages of betrayal trauma but you need different types of rest. This was revolutionary for me, kyle, when I first came across it a few years ago, and I found it to be revolutionary for the clients I walk with as well. So today we're going to round out this series, or these seven forms of rest, by talking about the final four. I'm going to give an overview I didn't do this last time, but let me just share what the final four are and then we're going to get right into it. Number four is spiritual rest, five is social rest, six is sensory rest and finally, number seven is creative rest. Now, you might have thought a lot about the first three. Hopefully, even this week you got to reflect on that. Physical, mental and emotional. These are so key. These are fundamental to being human and needing rest. By God's design, we said last week Jesus needed these types of rest, but now we're going to get into some that might be a little bit less obvious or apparent for most of us. Okay, so we're going to first get into spiritual rest.
Speaker 1:Dr Dolan Smith defines this as connecting with God. She wrote the book for a broader audience, but she is a Christian and so she kind of, you know, uses some broader language, but she actually does encourage her readers, even if they're not Christians, to consider what does it look like to connect with God? Jesus says in Matthew 11, come to me, you who are weary and burdened, I will give you rest. So really, all seven of these are invitations to Jesus's rest. So really, all seven of these are invitations to Jesus's rest, but especially this one.
Speaker 1:You need spiritual rest when you're disconnected from God. You might call this being soul tired. I was saying that to Kyle earlier. You might be triggered from wounds from your past that lead to that disconnection. There might be something, a wound that's unhealed, that has led to some measure of disconnection with God Some way, where you're like I don't know how to connect with him. In this season I don't really know if I want to connect with him. Do I really want to go wake up and spend time with him or whatever? But this is so central to the Christian life and this is something that non-believers might have some measure of access to.
Speaker 1:The other six forms of rest, this is one where, as believers in God, as followers of Jesus, we have a unique invitation to a deeper kind of rest than is available for others. So, kyle, given what I've shared about how she kind of sketches spiritual rest, how do you get spiritual rest, kyle? How does someone who's been in ministry for a while now and here's a lot of hard stuff on a day-to-day basis how do you find ways to stay connected? To abide, you might say, or to walk in the spirit? There's so many ways to talk about this, but how do you get spiritual rest, kyle?
Speaker 2:One of the ways is through some spiritual practices. I practice Lectio Divina and hopefully we can put a link in the show notes to the practice of Lectio Divina. I've also done Visio Divina as well and also Centering Prayer. There is an organization that was started by Father Thomas Keating. It's a contemplative outreach and they have some literature on how to do Centering prayer and it's really a way of being very focused on where you are being focused on the presence of the Lord, bringing into focus maybe one specific, one specific attribute about God and who he is, and just bringing all of yourself to that, and it's a good way of just being able to drop the layers of the things that have happened in the course of the day.
Speaker 2:It can help you to reconnect with God because you're not talking about God storming in and just taking over the moment with you, but you're talking about allowing, just offering a gentle invitation for the Lord to meet with you, and some people really need that. Some people can feel like, especially if they've been in more Christian traditions that might be lean, more legalistic or rigid. They might just feel overtaken by God and we serve a God who wants to come near and doesn't want to overwhelm you with his nearness. He wants to just encompass you with all of his love. So that's one of the ways that I will get spiritual rest.
Speaker 1:One for me is being honest with God, honest conversation with him. You know, I think often our struggles to be honest with God impede our ability to connect and receive his healing, receive his love, and often we were taught actually dishonesty by our about how we really feel, by our parents, by sometimes by our spiritual communities. But we we see so clearly throughout the Bible that there's so much honesty I mean even Jay Stringer talks about honor and honesty how someone like Abraham could make mistakes, like I mean mistakes is kind of a light way to put it. But he literally was ready to give his wife over to different kings out of his own fear of those kings killing him to then take his wife and yet we honor him as the founder of our faith. You know the Judeo-Christian worldview and faith came through God's interactions with Abraham. So we honor him incredibly. But the Bible's honest about like he was pretty cowardly here. David is so honest throughout the Psalms.
Speaker 1:Kyle, like man, you can say stuff. I just encourage you, find, find a fresh translation. I'm an NIV guy. More often than not I've had seasons with the ESV, some NASB. But check out the Psalms and the NLT, the New Living Translation, or the Message, because you're going to find that I've been going through Bible in a Year NLT and NLT is a little bit more. Does the know, does the translation for you? Kind of thing Like it's giving you more contemporary language, in other words. And there's just I've read the Psalms now dozens, maybe more than that, of times, but there's certain ways that the NLT will translate a certain verse that I'm just like Whoa, you know, um, like.
Speaker 1:One of the examples is Moses. Actually, psalm 90 is from Moses, and in the NLT it says something like satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. And then in that same area it says like oh Lord, come back to us. How long will you delay? It says again somewhere in there replace the evil years with good. Like God, you've seemed to let so much crap happen to us Like.
Speaker 1:These are just such raw, honest, direct prayers, kyle, and I don't think many of us are taught this especially and this is where I want to bring it back to being honest with God when we are tempted giving in, or right after we've given in, to sexual sin, giving in or right after we've given into sexual sin, or thinking about the betrayed spouse being honest with God, about all the ways our world has been thrown upside down by betrayal when we thought there was faithfulness. Or, you know, I'm going to think about parents for a second. Like being honest with God, about what on earth? Like I thought I've raised my kid pretty well. Why are you letting them seem to go off the rails with this or that issue around their sexuality?
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely. There are so many examples in Scripture, in the Psalms, especially if you look at some of the lament Psalms, you know they start off with like God, have you forgotten God? Where are you?
Speaker 1:Yeah. Why are you asleep, god?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm laying on my bed and I can't even open my eyes because I'm crying so much. Or even if you think about and I may have mentioned this before on the fact that he has you know, hey, god, I'm out here and I've prophesied all the things you've said to prophesy and, hey, they're trying to kill me. So let me tell you, god, what I need you to do to them. And then he just goes straight in and he says some really hard things, but, like you said, being able to release that to God and know that you're not scaring God, he's not going. Oh, my goodness, I'm going to zap you Because you're not saying anything that he doesn't already know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the key, like he knows our hearts. Yeah, if it's in our heart.
Speaker 1:It doesn't make a huge difference with God Now. There are things in our heart better not said to people, right. But like with God, there need not be any disconnect between the darkest places in our hearts and what we actually tell him about.
Speaker 2:Absolutely those things actually move you toward God.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 1:If you're struggling to seek him with all your heart, because there's a huge theme of seeking God in scripture like seek me with all your heart, you will find me. Seek the kingdom you will. You know like sometimes we get stuck in. We struggle to seek because we're struggling to be honest with God about ourselves, about what we're really dealing with. We got to keep moving, kyle. We could probably sit on that for a lot longer. Let's talk about social rest. So, dr Dalton Smith defiances as finding comfort and solace in relationships and social interactions, making space for the relationships that revive you. So when do you need it? Social overload, especially from and I'm going to do air quotes If you're watching, you'll see it social media, from social media, you might be overloaded by the media in general, the news, whatever. You know, being at an event, a party, you might be overloaded. But you also can experience the need for this when you feel separated and disconnected, when you feel isolated and lonely. So these are places that I know many of us listening are like well, I'm an introvert, like I just you know I need more alone time and that may be true. But think about those relationships, because even introverts, you know, they might not love a group of 20, but it's really healthy for introvert to have that one person you know or several of those one people or a small group of people, and so who are the people who actually see you? You feel seen by, you feel revived by, like you actually enjoy. One way I like to think about this Kyle is and again you know pornography. What a, what a false version of this right Like I feel seen, I feel you know, connected in the most intimate of ways. But it of this right Like I feel seen, I feel connected in the most intimate of ways, but it's false right and it actually contributes to us probably feeling less rest socially, especially if we've said no to good things like going out with friends that actually do bring us life. But think about it this way we can't just be deep and intense all the time. I'm known for being something of someone who leans that way. I cannot be deep and intense all the time. I'm known for being something of someone who leans that way. I cannot be deep and intense all the time. I'm trying to help clients think through their deepest struggles. I get enough of that these days in my workday. We need depth, we need places we can be seen and known. We also need fun.
Speaker 1:We brought this up earlier with mental rest. So when you're thinking about relationships, some of us err toward a side of like you know, I've heard this especially with guys I walk with and all the guys want to talk about is you know what's going on in sports, and I feel for those guys like man, I do not have relationships in my life right now that have depth, that are actually talking about meaningful things or hard things or how our marriages or walk with God's actually going right. And then there are some people who are so focused on the depth and everything is intense and let's have that face-to-face sit down where we're just staring at each other on the couch and it's just such intense conversation and they can lack some of the lightheartedness of just having fun and being shoulder to shoulder and doing an activity. So I don't know. I think that there's something in this for me. Kyle, you can hear me light up as I talk to you about it, but talk to me about social rest.
Speaker 2:How do you find it? Well, you know me, James. James knows me as the person who goes in the room and just talks to everybody.
Speaker 1:Hundreds of people, Probably probably cows, getting charged up and it's you know. It's unreal to me.
Speaker 2:But there are those times where but again, in those large social situations it's hard to really connect with people on a deep level. You know, you get to know where they're from and what they do and maybe some interest and, you know, maybe get a little bit of family history, but you don't really get to know them. And I truly believe God has planted in all of us the desire to know and be known, first by him and then by others than by others. So it's like, even if I'm in those situations where there's all these people and I'm having a good time and I'm talking to everybody and engaging, I still want to have those one-on-one or very small group of people that I have these conversations with. That you know that.
Speaker 1:I have these conversations with that.
Speaker 2:you know the conversation runs the gamut of everything. You can go to the depths but we can also do say the silly, lighthearted, fun, funny kinds of things and just enjoy each other's company and what that does to your brain. Even being in the company of people like that and again, like you said you're, you're turning toward true intimacy. In that point, at that point, when you can, you have those people with whom you don't have to put on the mask, you don't have to try to show up and be on if you will yeah Right.
Speaker 2:You know you won't have the need to turn toward false intimacy because you're experiencing more true intimacy. And I think it's a harder thing to do, especially modern day, attached to phones. There are, you know, like us, like me, who lives in the DC metro area, where you know you got to swipe about four or five pages to get to the calendar part that's free and doesn't have anything on it, you know, and so it it takes. It does take a little bit of effort, for sure.
Speaker 1:And some of our listeners are thinking about the fact that, yeah, there's a lot more isolation. Some of them are single and they're like man if I had a spouse, this would be so much easier. Some are married and they might experience some of it there, but they might also be experiencing distance there. Maybe there is betrayal and the spouses are not really there for each other. So, Kyle, when you think about those different groups of people, what do you say to them? Because I am coming from this as a married man, You're coming at this from a perspective of a single woman. How do we make sense of some of those different realities that we face?
Speaker 2:I think some of it is and really going to prayer and really asking the Lord to show you who are the people Maybe it's the one, maybe you're starting with the one where you're asking the Lord who is the one with whom I can connect and with you at the center, where we can be authentic and open with one another, and that's regardless of whether you're married or single. God wants you to be in community with other people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we need it.
Speaker 2:If you're married, you can't get it all from your spouse. If you're single, you can't just be isolated and you can't get it from social media Right.
Speaker 1:That's a really important thing. You cannot get this kind of rest from social media. In fact, I just I don't know, this is kind of bold, kyle I want to challenge some of y'all. Consider praying about Lord. Do you want me to fast or even just delete social media in this season, or particular apps that you find yourself drawn to, especially if you're struggling with addiction and you notice, hey, I seem to start on such and such platform every time, you know, noticing attractive people or something friends is not that the cost seems to be far outweighing the benefit, both anecdotally in my own life and in people's lives. But also research is showing part of our epidemic of loneliness and anxiety and perhaps depression is positively related, or it's impacted, in other words, by social media usage, especially during development.
Speaker 2:For sure, For sure. So it's important to be intentional and I know for some people that can be really hard and it might be easy. Your first thought might be well, I don't know any people where I don't you can think of all the reasons why you can't. Well, what might it be like for you to trust God in that and say, like God, this is something honest that I want, it's something good that I want, and Lord and you have to be willing to have your hands open because the person's not going to be perfect.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Because it's easy to go.
Speaker 2:I want this kind of person and this kind of person.
Speaker 1:Well, and pornography trains us for more of that right, Kyle, Absolutely and frankly, probably the dating apps do, which I know are such a hard space. I don't mean to throw salt in the wound. Most people who are using the dating apps are like this is the hardest thing, but yeah, we're learning.
Speaker 2:We're being trained so much in our culture to want perfection and to never find it right. Yeah, and the person that the Lord brings to your mind might be the person you go. Holy God, are you?
Speaker 1:sure.
Speaker 2:That person, but can you trust God in that?
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, and is there something about them you might not know yet? Like you might actually both love going to the arcade and playing pinball, and you're like me and you never somehow dug that out. I tend to do this, kyle, like I'm often surprised when I find like a place of deep connection that I'm like whoa, I assumed there was nothing to connect over. You probably are the opposite. Maybe this is something I can keep growing in. You're probably assuming there's a place of connection to be had, but hey, we got to keep moving, kyle. Let's talk about number six, sensory rest. Oh, real quick. One last thing. Great book for finding your people is called Find your People by Jenny Allen, and she has some really good parameters of like, proximity and depth and there's just some good stuff in that book. We could probably do a lot more on that. But let's talk about sensory rest. Okay, she defines Dr Dawn Smith defines this as denying one or more of your, your senses, the experience of the physical world for short periods, in other words, taking a break from touch, taste, hearing, you know, smelling and seeing.
Speaker 1:And so we need this kind of rest, kyle, when, when we have sensory overexposure, you and I were in a training for four days this week and we were staring at our screens for a total of seven hours a day, four days in a row. My eyes were tired at one point yesterday. When we're overstimulated, when we have a restless body, like it could be connected to racing thoughts, like we talked about last week, difficult emotions like anger, anxiety, anxiety, disturbing dreams, trouble falling asleep we're often so overloaded it's like we've got Times Square in our pocket 24-7 and we cannot seem to get away. And frankly, kyle, there were times this week after the training where I'm like I don't know what to do because I've been staring at a screen all day, but the only thing I can think to do to relax my mind, my emotions, is more screens, which was not actually that restful, right. And so a couple ideas to get this. I'm sure you have some thoughts on this too.
Speaker 1:Daily tech breaks. So going on a walk without your devices, again, shower without music I said that last week. Drive without music or a podcast, regular tech, fast, this could be a whole day without tech that you might plan out ahead of time. I'm going to go to church. I'm going to get lunch with someone. I'm going to take a nap in the afternoon after reading my book and then I'm going to go play pickleball.
Speaker 1:You got to find ways to actually fill it positively. Consider a tech fest. Don't bring your phone to church. Bring out, bring your Bible. How crazy would you look? You know you're walking into church with your Bible. So, yeah, these are just some really important things to consider in our very, very overstimulated culture, because Jesus's time was a time where, even if you were dealing with I don't know, I don't know what they were dealing with mentally back then, but they had all the time in the world to process stuff. Kyle and they were probably around people. They would walk on journeys for miles. Besides singing, they had no form of like you know entertainment. They couldn't just pull out their phone and get their AirPods out, like it was a different time, and so I just want to suggest to y'all that could the amount of tech exposure you're dealing with, could the amount of time you're spending on screens especially, and music and sounds, could that actually be part of what's getting you out of touch with your deeper needs for God and for people and keeping you stuck in addictive patterns?
Speaker 2:Absolutely. You would be amazed it feels so good sometimes to have quiet. Just one of the things that I have been able to do over the past few years is like I don't have to turn the TV on. You know, as a single person, sometimes I just have it on because I like to hear the voices.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But then I've gotten to the place where I can just turn it off and I don't have to have it on, I don't have to binge watch anything, and I don't have to even kind of wrestle with, oh what am I going to watch, you know, just turn it off and enjoy whatever the quiet brings. Maybe I do read, maybe I just spend some quiet contemplation time just contemplating. I have a pet. Sometimes I spend a little bit of time talking to him, a little bit of time talking to him, but just to enjoy the quiet in that way. You'd be surprised how fulfilling you can feel because you didn't have all this other junk that you had to take in and do something with.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have so many of my best thoughts, kyle, in the shower, simply because I don't currently have any habit of putting on music in the shower and it's like, well, so much is connecting and I haven't given myself room for that most of the day. So, sensory rest this is a big one, but we need to get to our final one for the sake of time, which is creative rest. Creative rest this is probably the most out of left field for y'all, but Dr Dolan Smith defines this as immersion in creative beauty. That could be nature, that could be art, that could be the way you set up your corner in your house, you know, for your quiet time chair with plants and who knows what around. But you need this when you're stuck in the mundane, and you need this when your job is a lot of creative energy and perhaps when you're struggling to think creatively. Um, some of you guys may or may not realize, but we create a lot of resources here at regen, and so, whether it's writing a blog, creating a podcast or creating something like man or oasis or compass, like there's a good amount of time, kyle, that this job uses a lot of creative energy for me. And so if I'm completely stuck.
Speaker 1:I think this is brilliant advice. We can get out into nature art. We can listen to music, perhaps single-mindedly, like I'm putting on music right now. That's all. I'm going to be doing Something to actually help us to engage it instead of it just being background noise. What I'm meaning when I say that. And so again, your Sacred by Design retreat coming up this fall in November. I know you guys are all about this. You and Andrea are like man. Especially Andrea seems to be bringing so much of this mindset of art and beauty to the women she walks with. We can't just say, hey, stop looking at what seems the most beautiful, which might be pornography to you right now. We need to say start looking at what is the most beautiful, jesus, what he's created, art that depicts nature, or maybe holy things, or scenes from scripture or whatever Great music you know. Finding ways to actually engage in the beauty of God, I think, is a bigger antidote than most realize, kyle, for healing in this area.
Speaker 2:And I think some people don't realize that that is a way of engaging with God as well. You know, god created beauty, yeah, and so it's a way to engage with him. He gave people the gift to create sculptures and paintings and design beautiful things, and so that's a way to engage with God. Visio Divina is a great way to do it. I would offer Betty Dickinson and maybe we can put a link to her website in the show notes. She has some amazing art that strategically walks you, or systematically walks you, through engaging with something beautiful. She uses scripture with it. It helps you to connect with God in it. You know, find that thing that brings that peace and calm to your heart. And again, like you said, you're turning your eyes toward some things that are created by God, that are beautiful, that you will want to continue to immerse yourself in, as opposed to turning to images that cannot bring life to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, a lot of our listeners, I'm sure are, you know, protestant Christians like you and I are, kyle. We also do have Roman Catholic Christians on our team. But I just want to say to my fellow Protestants that you know, I think you know there's different views on, obviously, depicting God. Does that violate the first or second commandment or whatever like in art? I know that the reason Catholics believe it's okay now is because Jesus now is. You know he came physically and embodied. But regardless of what you think about that, I think we could probably many of us could agree that we threw out a lot of art, we threw out a lot of the beauty. Now, I know that some of that can be related to things like social justice, like hey, there's a lot of wealth in an ornate church building or whatever church building or whatever. But I just want to challenge us to consider are there ways that God actually might be inviting you to engage in art that somehow points you toward himself, like I've noticed I mean, some of you probably see it if you're watching on YouTube. I've got these they're sort of like modern day icons behind me of John Christophson he's out of sight right now but Polycarp and Thomas Aquinas, with just a quote this is from a wonderful book that came out last year called Our Church Speaks, which is 52 different saints throughout the ages Catholic, protestant, you know, just people who love the Lord deeply and a little bit of a reflection on how their life points us to Jesus. And so are there things like this that actually inspire you, are there things that, like I'll put, we'll put in the show notes the Ghent altar piece.
Speaker 1:I came across this recently. I'm now collecting a little file on my computer of you know, you might call it sacred art or art that points me to Jesus, but this is an incredible depiction. The part I have, at least, is the new heavens, the new earth, the whole Holy Spirit as a dove, a lamb, with blood coming out, you know, as Jesus. But something about this, kyle, I'm looking at it right now, like I so often struggle to imagine heaven as beautiful, because I just picture this kind of desert-like city in the middle of a desert, jerusalem in the middle of a desert, like I don't know why, that's just my mind struggles with creativity. But this again altarpiece depicts these rolling hills of greenery, trees, these beautiful structures that that who knows how they were made.
Speaker 1:Obviously, this is just someone's interpretation. This is not like you know. Clearly, heaven's going to look exactly like this, but it just stretches me, kyle. It stretches me to like look at the clearly heaven's going to look exactly like this, but it just stretches me, kyle, it stretches me to like look at the beauty that is to come, look at and think deeply about the lamb who is giving his life, you know, for the people that are surrounded worshiping him. It's I don't know. I'm inspired. This is kind of a new thing for me to consider, but I'm kind of inspired by some of the beauty and the depth of different Christian art throughout history.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's again. It's created by God. People have been given the gift by God to create beauty, and so I think it is a means of being able to do that. So, even if you're a person, maybe you, you know, just kayak, just kayaking on the lake, just being on gentle water and hearing the water rushing, and engaging with God in that way. You know, it looks different for different people, but if you can engage in beauty, it makes it really hard to turn to something that is false beauty.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Beautiful, Wonderful way to end, friends. I'm just going to close this in a brief word of prayer. Lord, would you highlight these last four forms of rest places that you're inviting those who listen to find deeper rest in you and in that which you provide? Lord, the beauty that you've created of nature, the beauty that people have partnered with to create with you, like art and music, but all these other forms as well sensory rest and social rest, spiritual rest where would you connect our listeners deeper to the heart of Jesus and would you give us all rest for our souls? For your yoke is easy and your burden is light. You say Pray. All this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
