Wisdom’s Table With Rachel Wortman

126. Finding Peace: How to Release, Enter, and Satisfy in God's Presence


Listen Later

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I invite you to dive deep into the transformative power of rest as a spiritual strategy. After a fiery discussion in last week's episode, today we shift gears to explore a more soothing yet profound topic: the importance of rest in our Christian lives.

I begin by addressing the common struggles many of us face like feeling tired, overwhelmed, and unable to quiet our minds long enough to hear God's voice. I emphasize that rest is not merely a physical necessity but a vital component for restoring our souls. Many of us confuse rest with inactivity or laziness, believing that if we stop working, everything will fall apart. However, I challenge this notion by highlighting that true rest is a biblical principle and a source of strength.

Throughout the episode, I introduce an acronym for REST: Release, Enter, Satisfy, Together. Each component is essential for understanding how to engage with God and find true peace.
