[Podcast] Episode 216: Sabbath-Fueled Leadership with Allison van Tilborgh-Martinous

The Sabbath wasn’t created to take something from you. It was created to give you something—a break from creation and renewed vision. On today’s episode of the AVAIL podcast, we sit down with Allison van Tilborgh-Martinous and discuss her most recent AVAIL Journal article, Calmness in the Commotion. Allison addresses how cultural misconceptions of Sabbath have painted rest as a nuisance or detractor from accomplishing God’s purposes, and challenges leaders to find their success in a rhythm of rest.
