In this episode, Rebekah delves into the theology of rest, focusing on Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus invites those who are weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest for their souls. First, let's learn what each of these words mean... Labor... and Heavy Laden, because they are distinctly different and their definitions hit deep! Then, let's grasp what Jesus means when He says His "yolk is easy" and His "burden is light."

In this episode, Rebekah discusses the difference between rest and laziness, as well as the surprising root causes of procrastination. Procrastination, which produces all kinds of unwanted feelings and results, doesn't seem to serve us at all. Yet nearly 90% of my listeners report that they procrastinate or avoid tasks often. Why is this, and does it actually "serve" us in some way?

Get ready to be challenged to look at your schedule, to consider your limitations, and to work within the created order to live a more full and purposeful life.

In this episode, Rebekah discusses the importance of rest and challenges the hustle culture. She asks thought-provoking questions to gauge listeners' level of burnout and shares her own experience with burnout and anxiety. With an emphasis on the need to value rest in a culture that promotes busyness and overworking, she debunks the myth that more hours worked leads to increased productivity and highlights the negative effects of being "busy but good" all the time.

Rebekah also addresses the root causes of busyness, such as cultural conditioning, low self-esteem, perfectionism, fear of missing out (FOMO), and a lack of awareness.

Midori Doumani and her husband have a story that might sound familiar. First, they entered their marriage with massive differences in almost every area, from gender roles, to how to do faith, to communication style - it was bumpy from the start. Then, while chasing the American Dream of carers and money and more, more, and more, they found themselves with a marriage on the rocks.

Midori gets honest and detailed about discovering and owning the areas that she needs to grow and change. She talks about how she would get easily triggered and overreact, how she needed constant affirmation from her husband, and more.

After much work, surrender, growth, and learning, their marriage is now thriving.

Joshua & Midori co-founded Simply Midori to teach adults how to have successful relationships.
