Rest is not a reward for finishing the work, and it is not a vague “self-care” idea we try to squeeze into an overfull week. We sit down with Liz Wright to talk about rest as a design feature of the Christian life, and why peace is meant to be a lived, tangible reality for believers who are in union with Jesus.
We unpack what happens when the church says “Sabbath” but models busyness, and how the Holy Spirit is calling the bride of Christ back to stillness, awareness, and a simpler gospel. Liz shares her story of encountering Jesus in a way that flooded her whole being with love and peace, resetting an overwhelmed nervous system and marking the beginning of a decades-long journey of “come with me” rest. That personal testimony opens into practical wisdom: learning to tune back into God’s presence, using scripture like Psalm 23 as heart language, and letting peace become the place where courage and authority grow.
We also explore surrender and overflow in ministry, including what it looks like to be quiet on the inside so our words carry the presence of God. Liz and I talk about emotional regulation, compassion toward ourselves, and governing our interior world from spirit over soul over body. If life feels loud right now, this conversation offers a grounded path back to clarity, faith, and deep Christian rest.
