#549 – Learning to Rest: How to Depend on God in Every Season with Ruth Chou Simons

Listen Later

What if rest isn’t a break from real life—but the key to living it well?

In this episode, I sit down with Ruth Chou Simons, artist and bestselling author, to talk about rest, dependence, and freedom in God’s timing. Together, we explore how to stop striving, embrace your limits, and live with a heart at peace even when life feels busy.

If you’ve ever struggled to slow down or felt guilty for resting, this conversation will remind you that rest is worship—and that your worth isn’t tied to your productivity.
