Guarding Your Time: A Christian Approach to Personal Space and Rest

In this episode of Confidence Coffee, the host discusses the importance of guarding personal time and space, emphasizing a Christian perspective. The episode stresses the significance of setting aside time for rest, prayer, and spending time with the Lord, drawing examples from the Bible such as God resting on the seventh day and Jesus withdrawing to pray. It addresses the modern struggles of living in a fast-paced world and the guilt associated with taking time for oneself. The host encourages listeners to establish boundaries, say no to draining activities, and say yes to activities that rejuvenate them. The episode advises on using feelings like guilt as checkpoints for spiritual and personal growth, and suggests practical ways to make space for solitude and reflection to deepen one's relationship with God. Finally, the host emphasizes the importance of communicating boundaries healthily without over-explanation and encourages listeners to prioritize their well-being and spiritual growth confidently.
