In this episode, Erin Lynam joins the conversation to share a powerful perspective on rest—why God created it, how we see it modeled in scripture, and even how creation itself points us to rhythms of work and rest. Erin is a certified master naturalist and the host of the Nat Theo kids’ podcast, which blends science and theology in ways the whole family can enjoy.

She explains how rhythms in nature—like hibernation, dormancy, and even the patterns of trees—reveal God’s intentional design for us to embrace Sabbath. Together, we talk about the cultural lies that view rest as laziness, the struggle of slowing down in hustle culture, and how choosing to rest is actually an act of faith that God will keep things moving even when we stop.

Whether you’re a mom, an entrepreneur, or someone trying to find peace in a busy world, this conversation will encourage you to see rest not as optional, but as essential for your soul, your family, and your faith.
