In this episode, Mike Van Pelt takes you to the actual Field of Dreams movie site in Iowa, where a quiet "download" from God taught him the difference between chasing rest and receiving it, even when the world around us refuses to slow down. Drawing on Ray Kinsella's story and Scripture's own picture of the "still, small voice," this episode challenges men to stop waiting for permission to slow down and start obeying the whisper that's already speaking.
