Feeling worn out? You’re not alone. In this episode of Side Notes, Pastors Josh and Arch talk about why The Ridge hit pause on in-person services—and why creating a rhythm of work and rest isn’t just helpful, it’s Biblical.
They get real about ministry life, burnout, and why rest is not laziness—it’s obedience. They share personal stories (and hilarious waffle reviews), talk about the cultural pressure to always be on, and explore why God’s rhythm of six days of work and one day of rest might be the most life-giving pattern we can follow.
