116: The Power of the Pause

🎙️ Episode Title: The Power of the Pause: Why Rest Is Productive

In this episode, we’re leaning into a radical truth: rest is not a reward—it’s a rhythm.

We explore how taking a true Sabbath or rest day isn’t lazy—it’s life-giving. From recharging your marriage and deepening connection to fueling your creativity and boosting fitness recovery, rest touches every area of our lives.

You’ll hear personal stories of what happened when we rested well vs. when we pushed too hard, plus a reminder straight from Genesis 2:2-3 that even God paused.

We also unpack:

• How unplugging from tech can reconnect your relationship

• What strength training teaches us about the spiritual power of rest

• How entrepreneurs and parents can fight the guilt of “doing less”

• The value of weekly marriage check-ins to reset and realign

And if you're feeling burned out, distant from your spouse, or just plain tired—this episode is your invitation to breathe, pause, and come back stronger.

🎧 Challenge for the week: Try a 24-hour tech break and use that time to rest and reconnect—with yourself and your person.
