#47 Stillness Is Not Sinful: Why Rest, Quiet, and Waiting Matter at Christmas and as We Enter 2026

At Christmas, the world slows just enough for many women to feel uneasy. Instead of peace, quiet can bring guilt, anxiety, and the pressure to plan, improve, or prepare for the new year. In this episode, I explore that stillness is not laziness, disobedience, or spiritual failure. This episode is especially for women who feel burned out, stuck, or afraid to slow down, and who want to enter the new year regulated, rooted, and trusting God’s timing. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why many women equate rest with failure The biblical and etymological meaning of stillness What Christmas reveals about how God actually works Why peace must come before vision for the new year How stillness supports healing, identity, and spiritual growth Connect with Brigid www.loretowellness.com Join The Dwelling Place: A Christ-centered community for women ready to heal their minds, bodies, and stories.
