We often feel like we could use a nap, but should we? Are we wasting time and productivity by napping? If we do nap, how long is appropriate before its just being lazy? In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look to see if there is a biblical precedent for nap taking. We examine Scriptures of various people throughout the Bible who took naps and the results that followed. We look through some famous people throughout history who nap frequently and ultimately give some encouragement (and warnings) related to napping. We hope that as you listen, you will find rest and comfort in the Scripture and in the Lord!
