Thanksgiving is supposed to be grateful and joyful, but for a lot of us it feels heavy long before the turkey even hits the oven. In this Thanksgiving edition, we talk about the weight we carry into the holiday, the expectations we put on ourselves, and the pressure others place on us. Using Matthew 11:28 as our anchor, we take a practical look at what it means to lay down the load, set healthy boundaries, and walk into the day rested instead of exhausted. If Thanksgiving tends to wear you out, this one will give you room to breathe.

We all know what it’s like to be tired, but there’s a kind of tired that sleep can’t fix.

In this episode, Tina Blount explores the powerful word "all" from Matthew 11:28, unpacking why we disqualify ourselves from God's rest and how Jesus' invitation includes everyone. Through personal stories and biblical examples, she challenges the lie that rest must be earned and reminds listeners that when Jesus said "all who are weary," He was thinking of your name. This message is for anyone who's ever felt too broken, too messy, or too unqualified to receive the peace they desperately need.

Me – Rest Has a Name
In this episode, Tina shares how real rest is found in a person, not a plan. Through the story of Peter on the water and a tender moment with her daughter, she reminds us that peace comes when we learn to recognize the voice that calls us. Rest has a name, and His name is Jesus.

Grief has a way of changing us. For some, it feels like it should break us completely. But for others, it becomes the very thing that builds strength, resilience, and even hope. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Liz Brewer as she shares her deeply personal story of loss, healing, and the surprising ways grief has shaped her for the better.

This conversation is raw and real, but also full of courage. If you’ve ever faced a season that threatened to undo you, Liz’s journey will remind you that what was meant to break you doesn’t have to be the end of your story.

This week on the Be Blount Podcast, I’m reflecting on the moments when life, circumstances, or even our nation feels unsettled. There is a time to act, to speak, and to move forward. There are also times when the wisest and most powerful action is to be still in the presence of the Lord. In this episode, we will talk about the tension between action and stillness, and how learning to discern the difference can anchor our hearts in the midst of storms.
