Episode #30: Finding Rest in Christ through Difficult Seasons with Tina Wanamaker

Listen Later

I’m excited for you to meet my hometown friend, speaker and author, Tina Wanamaker. In this episode we discussed:

  • We can approach times of conflict in faith that God’s good plan will be accomplished.
  • Discussion continued regarding the rhythm of rest that God created and how much we need to observe and enjoy this.
  • Tina recounts a few simple, nature-focused ways to purposefully take rest during the day.
  • Enjoyment of “being” over “doing”
  • How the awareness of God’s love can bring deep rest
  • There is rest working with (not against) the Holy Spirit
  • The role of surrender and gratitude on our journey to experience rest
  • The need to share everything with the Lord to experience a restful relationship with Him

    • Author Bio: Tina is a lover of Jesus, wife of 21 years, mother to 4, homeschool teacher, jail Chaplain, international ministry leader, author, and speaker. Her goal is to encourage growth in Christ by knowing Him in the practicalities of life. You can stay in touch with Tina at https://tinawanamaker.com.
