You gained an hour... so why do you still feel exhausted?

If your body’s weary and your mind won’t quit, it’s not just lack of sleep; it’s a rhythm that’s out of sync. It’s easy to push through late nights, chase productivity, and call it faithfulness, but God calls it striving.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to quiet the noise, recognize God’s built-in cues for rest, and embrace physical self-care as part of your spiritual rhythm. Because peace doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from aligning your pace with His.

Most people think peace means sitting quietly, doing less, or avoiding conflict. But here’s the truth: biblical peace is one of the most powerful forces you can carry. It’s not passive—it guards, it empowers, and it propels. And here’s why this matters for your self-care: peace is the foundation of your mental and emotional self-care. Without it, your mind spins and your heart races. With it, you think clearly, feel steady, and can live from overflow instead of overwhelm. Tune in, because this shift can change everything about how you move through life.
