Last week we talked about how Sabbath restores us spiritually — how it recenters us and reminds us who we are and whose we are. But if we’re honest, there’s another kind of exhaustion many of us carry that sleep doesn’t fix.
You can get a full night’s rest and still feel drained.
You can take a day off and still feel empty.
You can sit in a room full of people and still feel completely alone.
We live in the most connected era in human history… and yet loneliness is everywhere. We can message anyone instantly, stream anything we want, and order dinner without ever speaking to a person. Life has never been more convenient — but somehow relationships have never felt more complicated.
This week, we’re talking about a different kind of restoration: relational restoration. What if Sabbath isn’t just about stepping away from work… but stepping back toward people? What if rest includes rediscovering the connections we were created for?
Because the truth is, we were never meant to do life alone.
