PUTTING DOWN THE CAPE
Episode 3: Rest as Resistance
In this episode of Putting Down the Cape, Rev. Tamira D. Wimbish Valley explores what it means to choose rest as an act of faith and resistance. In a culture that glorifies hustle and constant productivity, we are reminded that God designed us for rhythm — work and rest, labor and pause, sowing and harvest.
Through story, scripture, and reflection, you’ll be encouraged to see rest not as laziness, but as liberation. Rest is your divine right and your sacred responsibility.
