We reflect on what God has done through these books, the lessons we’ve learned along the way, and the vision we have for the future of the Basic Series.

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, achieve more, and never slow down, Jesus offers a different invitation: rest. In this episode of Serve Like Jesus, we explore what the Bible teaches about rest, why God designed us to need it, and how choosing to rest is ultimately an act of trust. We share what rest looks like in our own lives, the rhythms that help us stay spiritually healthy, and the challenges of slowing down in a busy world. We also talk with Ben about his first sabbatical as President of ServeNow and how intentional seasons of rest can renew our relationship with God and prepare us to serve others more faithfully. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or simply longing for a healthier rhythm of life, we hope this conversation encourages you to embrace God's gift of rest and trust Him with what you leave undone. "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28 (ESV)
