Rest and Burnout

Pastor Bill Bush · Feb 8, 2026

True physical health is not about achieving a certain level of fitness, appearance, or longevity — it is about faithfulness. Drawing from the story of Elijah's breakdown and restoration in 1 Kings 19, Pastor Bill argues that neglecting, rejecting, or obsessively perfecting our bodies all miss the point. Instead, God calls us to respect and steward our bodies through self-control, movement, rest, and peace — not as ends in themselves, but as expressions of wholeness in Christ that equip us to fulfill the calling He has placed on our lives.
