Aimee Joseph helps overwhelmed, exhausted listeners exchange the turmoil of chasing contentment and control for the lasting peace found in Christ.

With the relentless pace of modern life, we have become accustomed to high mobility, near-constant change, and a rampant sense of restlessness. Finding any sense of rest seems impossible. Drawing from Scripture, personal anecdotes, and practical wisdom, Joseph explores the roots of our internal agitation and points to the Source of true rest. She invites listeners to move beyond the world’s definition of rest such vacations and self-help strategies to cultivate rhythms of renewal that align with God’s design.

Made to Rest begins by examining the sources of our restlessness (control, satisfaction, and self-righteousness) before exploring the biblical concept of rest from both theological and practical perspectives. God created us for rest that comes from a right relationship with him, and he lovingly commands us to live with Sabbath rhythms. In a world offering us fragile peace, Christ offers his followers peace that passes understanding. In a world that never stops, believers have a ready refuge in their Redeemer.
