159 | Are You Carrying More Than Jesus Ever Asked You To?
from Belay Church Podcast
In this heartfelt message from Matthew 11:28–30, Pastor Favour Ibom invites us to lay down the heavy backpacks we've been hauling through life—regrets, fears, expectations, and pressures—and accept Jesus' invitation to true rest. Using the picture of a hiker who keeps picking up "souvenirs" along the trail until the journey becomes a burden, Pastor Favour walks us through four simple steps using the acronym R.E.S.T.: Respond to Jesus' invitation, Exchange your burden for His yoke, Sit under His way and learn from Him, and Trust that His way leads to real rest. This isn't a call to quit what you're doing—it's a call to live aligned with the leadership of Jesus, who carries most of the load while we simply walk with Him.
