“If I can just get through this season, then I’ll experience rest.” If you’ve ever said or thought that statement, this episode has your name written all over it! Because healing rest—truly resting with God—is a gift for your present moment.
We all know the feeling of desperately needing to experience rest. My guest today challenges the common misconception that rest is something to be earned or found only on "the other side" of a finished task. And she leads us on her journey to finding peace with Jesus in the storm.
Listen in to part 1 of our conversation for practical, mindset-shifting truths on how to access God's peace right now.

P. S. Three takeaway questions:
1. Why do I feel like I can only rest when the work is done?
2. What burdens am I shouldering that God can actually carry?
3. What am I waiting on in order to rest?
