#417 Sabbath Culture: When Does Rest Become Laziness? | Jonny Ardavanis

Has our obsession with rest made us lazy? In a Christian culture increasingly focused on Sabbath, slowing down, and avoiding burnout, have we forgotten that God actually created us to work?

In this episode, Alisa sits down with pastor and author Jonny Ardavanis to challenge some popular assumptions about work, rest, and productivity. Drawing from his new book, Get to Work: Seeing Your Daily Grind as God's Good Gift, Jonny makes the biblical case that work isn't a curse—it's a gift from God.

They tackle the uncomfortable topic of laziness, including the subtle ways it can hide behind busyness, entertainment, endless scrolling, and even spiritual activities. They also discuss why motherhood is often undervalued, how our culture has confused comfort with godliness, and what Jesus' example teaches us about balancing hard work with genuine rest.

Is our Sabbath culture helping us become more like Christ, or giving us an excuse to avoid the hard things God has called us to do? This conversation might just change the way you think about work—and convict you in ways you didn't expect
