The Wisdom of Sleep
We live in a world obsessed with productivity, hustle, and 24/7 connectivity. But what might happen if we lean into the God-ordained gift of rest? Senior editor at The Gospel Coalition Brett McCracken believes embracing sleep counters the exhaustion of modern life, reminds us of our limits, and deepens our dependence on God. Learn about The Wisdom of Sleep—on Chris Fabry Live.
