In this episode, we explore what it really means to rest—and why it’s more than just taking a break. Based on Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11 and the rhythm of Sabbath from Exodus 20, this message invites us to push back against the culture of exhaustion and reimagine rest as a holy resistance. Sabbath is not a religious rule to follow, but a gift from a loving Creator—a radical invitation to stop, delight, worship, and remember who we are in God.We talk about the deep soul-weariness that busyness breeds, and how Sabbath frees us from the idolatry of productivity and the illusion of control.

You’ll learn how to begin this practice in small, sustainable steps—whether it’s turning off your phone, planning a joy-filled day, or simply saying no. From science to Scripture, we uncover how rest restores not just our bodies but our hearts, relationships, and capacity for love.If you’re tired of being tired, this episode is for you. You were not made to go 24/7. You were made for rhythm, renewal, and radiant life in Jesus. Pick a day. Stop. And live.

🕊️ Bonus Insight: Love flows from rested souls. Exhaustion erodes compassion. Sabbath restores it.

📖 Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Exodus 20:8–11, Mark 2:27–28, Psalm 51, Mark 4:19, and more.
