Description:

Have you ever finally sat down for five quiet minutes, only to feel guilty for not doing something “productive”? As a Christian working mom, it can feel like the weight of your home, work, and family all rests on your shoulders. Slowing down? That feels risky—or even wrong.

But what if your fear of rest isn’t laziness—it’s a misunderstanding of God’s heart?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the spiritual reasons rest feels uncomfortable and why slowing down might actually be an act of trust and obedience. You’ll learn why biblical rest is more than just self-care—it’s soul-care. We’ll explore:

Why Christian moms feel guilty for resting

The hidden beliefs that keep us stuck in over-functioning

What Scripture really says about rest and identity

How to trust God in the stillness

Simple, grace-filled ways to start practicing true rest this week

God never tied your worth to your work—and He invites you to live like that’s true.

If you’re longing for a way to be present, grounded, and free from the constant pressure to do more, this conversation is for you.
