In a world that celebrates the grind, rest can feel like rebellion. We’re taught to see it as something we earn... a reward after the work is done, instead of something sacred and necessary. But rest was never meant to be optional. Even God rested.

In this episode, we slow down and explore what it means to honor rest as part of our design, not a sign of weakness, but of wisdom. Through quiet stories and gentle reflection, we look at why so many of us resist stillness, how our bodies keep the score when we don’t listen, and why pausing isn’t failure; it’s faith.

A reminder for anyone who’s been running on empty: you can’t pour from what you refuse to refill. Rest is not a retreat from life. It’s how we return to it.
