'Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest...'Matthew 11:28, The Message

How can we find rest in God as trainee doctors?

What could that look like amongst chaotic shift patterns, study, and juggling church and family responsibilities?

This stand-alone episode of the Junior Doctor Foundations podcast series focuses on the topic of Sabbath. Why do we need a sabbath rest, why can it be hard to achieve, and what habits and practices do we need to cultivate this often-neglected discipline of Christian living?

Your host is Lizzy Kennedy (a junior doctor based in Devon); she is joined by Felicia Wong (a GP and CMF Head of Doctor's Ministries), and guest speaker James Adams (GP, Founder of Charity No 11, and leader of a church plant in Manchester).
