In this conversation, hosted by Bob Switzer and Jason, David Hewitt discusses the message of his new book, Ultimate Rest. They guys dive into living from a place of union with God. David emphasizes that the gospel is an announcement of what God has already done, and our role is to awaken to the rest that is already available to us in Christ. David highlights the importance of living in the overflow of God’s love and grace, rather than striving to earn His favor. He encourages a relational approach to sharing the gospel, where we authentically live out our identity in Christ and allow God to work through us.

The conversation explores the themes of rest, trust, and participating in God’s life. David and the guys explore the idea that rest is not laziness, but rather a deep trust in God’s work and a recognition of our identity in Christ. They also touch on the need for a reformation in the church and the importance of embracing the essential values of the gospel. David shares practical advice for living in rest and invites listeners to reimagine what it means to be the body of Christ.

QUOTES:
“The beauty of the gospel is that Christ has already brought us to a place of rest inside that we just need to awaken to.” David Hewitt
“The gospel is as simple as just trust. If the gospel worked for the thief on the cross next to Jesus, that he just looked at Jesus with trust, and that was enough.” David Hewitt
“Living in rest is action flowing out of rest. It’s living in the overflow of something that’s already happened.” David Hewitt
“It is possible to live in such an awareness of who I am, to live in such a revelation of my affection that you can navigate this life and step into the next life without breaking stride.” Jason Clark
“Everything has changed now. I am revealed to you the source of your life. And this has always been the Father’s intention. This has always been in the mind of a Godhead since before all things.” David Hewitt

Podcast intro and outro music by Wilde Assembly

Bob Switzer I met my wife in Bible school over 35 years ago. I’m still amazed that she said yes. We raised four children and continue to love our family and any opportunities to get together. I am also a grandfather to 8 awesome grandchildren who call me “Bobbob” (this name was established by our first grandchild and we went with it).

Perhaps no modern church dogma has been more destructive to the mission of Jesus, created more atheists, or generated more religious trauma than that of eternal conscious torment (ECT).

In this podcast, the guys talk with Thomas Jay Oord and Keith Giles about their collaboration on Chad Bahl’s book, Deconstructing Hell. The book brings together experts in their fields to take the reader on a historical, philosophical, and theological journey to deconstruct this harmful doctrine, and the podcast highlights Oord and Gile’s contribution.
