Rightly practiced, a Christian anthropology should create people who are known for their ability to rest. Not an efficient “recharging” so we can return to work refreshed and more productive. Nor the conspicuous “fun” of travel or partying that gains its significance through social media posts. Nor a frantic “relaxation” that requires us to consume the right content (“Have you seen this movie? What about the last episode of____?”) so that we don’t experience the fear of missing out. Nor “vegging” with its sense of hopeless exhaustion and incapacity.
