Do you feel like no matter how many lists you make, routines you try, or books you read—you’re still overwhelmed? You’re not alone. As Christian working moms, the pressure to do it all can leave us exhausted, anxious, and wondering if peace is even possible.
In this episode of Faith Led Working Moms, I unpack the biblical fix for overwhelm that doesn’t come from hustling harder but from surrendering to God’s design for rest and peace. We’ll look at the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 and how God met him in burnout with food, rest, and renewal before calling him forward. And we’ll see how Jesus modeled a pace of life that wasn’t controlled by constant demands, but by His Father’s priorities.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I always overwhelmed no matter what I try?” this episode will help you shift from striving to surrender so you can walk in the peace God promises.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
