Hey, Mama! Burned out and angry, watching your husband take downtime while you’re stuck with messes and sibling chaos?
In this episode, we’re tackling that resentment and guilt when rest feels selfish.
Discover how God trades fear and frustration for peace and freedom through real productivity—and how burnout and angry mamas can find guilt-free rest without the shame.
Grab your coffee, and let’s dive in!
Key Points:
The Struggle is Real: You justify his TV time but resent your own rest—hello, burnout, and double standards!
False vs. Real Productivity: The enemy’s hustle breeds anger; God’s way brings peace and freedom.
True Guilt vs. False Guilt: True guilt points to sin; false guilt shames you for needing a break.
Shame’s Lie: Resenting his rest doesn’t make you a bad mom—God calls you radiant!
Work and Rest in the Lord: We serve Him, not a guilt scoreboard.
Action Step: Take 15 minutes this week with God—find guilt-free rest. You deserve it, mama!
Scriptures Referenced (ESV):
John 16:33: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace…” – Peace is yours, even in chaos.
2 Corinthians 7:10: “Godly sorrow… leaves no regret…” – True guilt frees; false guilt traps.
Romans 8:1: “There is now no condemnation…” – No guilt from God, mama!
Psalm 34:5: “Those who look to him are radiant…” – Shame’s got no hold on you.
Colossians 3:23-24: “Work… as for the Lord…” – Your rest honors Him too.
Matthew 11:28-29: “Come to me… I will give you rest…” – Soul-deep rest, guilt-free.
Key Takeaway:
You don’t have to earn rest—God offers guilt-free peace to burnout and angry mamas, turning resentment into radiance.
