When was the last time you truly rested?

In a world that glorifies hustle—even in Christian circles—rest often feels like a luxury we can’t afford. But what if stepping away is exactly what your soul (and your dream) needs?

In this episode, guest Eryn Lynum returns to talk about what Sabbath rest has meant for her family, her dream, and her spiritual life. She shares insights from her latest book, The Nature of Rest, to remind us that choosing rest isn’t laziness—it’s obedience. This is an invitation to stop striving and start trusting the God who never sleeps.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

🌿 The comforting truth about the impact of rest on creativity and productivity
🕊️ Strategies for weaving rhythms of rest into daily life and work
⏸️ The art of taking intentional breaks that renew your soul and clarify your focus

This episode will remind you that your worth doesn’t come from your output—and your dream isn’t dependent on constant motion. When we intentionally step away from our work, we create space for God to move.

So whether you’re in a season of full plates or quiet growth, may this conversation give you permission to rest, reflect, and trust that He is still at work—especially in the stillness.

Press play and let’s lean into the gentle rhythms of Christ together.
