Monday Moments

The Test of Rest

Freedom Fellowship Episode 142

Series: Reframing Rest
Speaker: Pastor Dennis Gallaher

In This Episode:
What if your restlessness isn’t just about your schedule… but your trust?

In this episode of Monday Moments, we look at the story of manna in the wilderness and how Sabbath rest was never just about sleep or recovery—it was about trust. Trusting that God will provide. Trusting that we don’t have to hustle to hold everything together. Trusting that when we stop, He doesn’t.

If you’ve ever struggled to rest without guilt, feared falling behind, or felt like stopping meant losing control—this episode is for you.

Key Points:

  • Why rest is more about trust than time
  • How the Sabbath exposes our fears and self-reliance
  • What it means to live in the “daily bread” mindset
  • How Sabbath is a countercultural resistance to burnout

Key Scriptures:

  • Exodus 16:1–35
  • Hebrews 3:7–4:11
  • Psalm 127:1–2
