The Death Spiral of Hustle Culture with Scott Billings: A Conversation on Rest and Church Planting
For this episode of The City Network podcast, Alyssa and Scott talk all about rest and Sabbath. There are all sorts of good wisdom nuggets: busy seasons vs. busy habits, entertainment vs. spiritual refreshment, and guarding margin vs. burnout. They get hyper practical on how to begin if a practice of rest is something you're considering, how rhythms of rest actually help your productivity and health as a church leader, and what they've learned to help fight the temptation of hustle culture.
Scott has served actively in ministry at Calvary Chapel of Tucson since 2002, volunteering as youth leaders and mentoring youth worship teams. In 2014, both Scott and his wife Jackie, left professional careers in engineering and law to become a youth pastor/media director and stay-at-home mom. In 2020, we became aware of the spiritual need in Boise and connected with several churches in the valley.
God stirred us up to start something new.
With the blessing of our church, Calvary Tucson, we stepped out in faith and committed to plant a non denominational church in Boise, Idaho.
God launched Boise Church (www.boise.church) on Easter Sunday of 2022. We like to keep things simple, love God and love people. We’re excited for what God is doing and look forward in faith to our Lord changing hearts and multiplying churches in the Treasure Valley.

Soul Care Summit
This year's Soul Care Prayer Summit is happening April 22-24 up at Quaker Hill in McCall. The Summit is for men and women who serve as leaders and missionaries in the Treasure Valley. This is a space created for you as a visionary leader to hear from God and care for your soul–and it's not just for pastors. It's for anyone who has a vision for kingdom transformation in their sphere of influence. We want to create a space for you and your spouse to pray over that, and to pray for our valley together as a unified church trying to reach our communities with the gospel. We're also helping with childcare this year, so let us know on the registration form if that's a need for your family. Go to www.thecitynetwork.org/soulcare to register!
