We know you are running hard, but you don’t have to run on empty. Run Hard. Rest Well.® (RHRW) equips people to rewrite their personal stories of overload. Exhaustion is epidemic, yet the church-at-large remains strangely quiet, unprepared to speak life and truth to people in our midst, much less those in the world around us.
RHRW is dedicated to re-introducing people to biblical, transformative rhythms of work and rest.
Wellness is a hot topic. Billions are being spent each year, but the return on our investment is pathetic. By every assessment most people today are less healthy (physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally) than we were 10, 20, 30 years ago. And our children? It is staggering to see the decline.
Jesus never talked about self-care, but He did talk about rest and He lived a life of rhythm. Four distinct rhythms graced Jesus’s life. They emerge from both the Old and New Testaments: Sabbath, Sleep, Personal Prayer (stillness) and Personal Retreat (solitude). When people focus on these four biblical rhythms, the power and purpose of rest becomes compelling and transformative, altering our lives and the lives of those we love. It moves us from self-destruct to vibrancy. It’s a win/win in every way and God gets the Glory.
