Do you struggle with guilt around taking rest days in your training?
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the truth that rest is not laziness—it's a reflection of obedience and trust in God.
Whether you're tempted to “active recover” every single day or push through fatigue to hit your schedule, this conversation will help reframe how you view rest as an essential part of both your training and your faith.
We’ll look at how God models rest in Genesis, how Jesus invites us into rest in the Gospels, and what it looks like to trust Him through intentional rest in our running.
We’ll also cover the physical benefits of rest, how to know when your body really needs it, and why ignoring it may lead to burnout or injury.
PLUS—don’t miss the details about the upcoming Free Faith & Fitness Workshop on May 18th, where we’ll help you incorporate more Christ-centered Spiritual practices into your training life.
