Welcome back! We are in a mini-series of two episodes.  These are my favorite shows where I get to bring you the best of the best around a certain topic. Today, we're talking about boundaries and rest, and I'm bringing you some amazing people with so much wisdom to share.

We're diving into boundaries, sabbath rest, social pressure on women, practical strategies for incorporating rest, and more.  You see why this type of episode is my favorite! I'm just bringing you the best of the best this week and next week in this mini-series. 

If you want to establish boundaries and create space for rest, but you’re just not sure how to do that, this podcast will be a game-changer for you. 

Join us as we learn about:

• • The dangerous effects of busyness, why it’s so important to slow down, and Sabbath rest with John Mark Comer

Favorite quotes: 

• 1:48 - John Mark Comer -

• “There are two different types of busyness. There is the healthy kind of busyness that just says you have a lot to do and that you are not wasting your life on Netflix and Facebook, but you are doing something meaningful with your life. I am 100% for that kind of busyness, and by that definition, Jesus was very busy.”

• “Love, joy, and peace are incompatible with hurry.”

• “Some kind of a daily touch point of quiet with God where you come to rest is so important. Start where you are at not where you feel like you should be.”

• “Rest can look lots of different ways.”

• “Boundaries are more about keeping the good in than they are about keeping the bad out.”

• “Start with the small stuff, and it gives you the bravery for the big stuff.”

• “I can extend my boundaries and borders to love and to take care of other people, but I have to have boundaries to extend first. I have to have a sense of self and wholeness with God with me before I can be generous with other people.”
