Don't Forget to Rest

Send me a textBurnout isn’t holy—and exhaustion isn’t a badge of honor. Today’s devotion is your reminder that rest is a gift from God, not a reward you have to earn.Do you feel guilty for slowing down, like rest is something you’ll get to “one day”?You’re not alone. We live in a world that glorifies busy—but Jesus invites us to something better. In Mark 6, even He tells His disciples to step away and rest. If the Son of God made space to recharge, so should we.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:Why rest is a spiritual practice, not a productivity killerWhat Jesus teaches about stepping awayA practical question to help you say “yes” to rest todayYour soul doesn’t need more hustle—it needs more Him.If you’re enjoying the podcast, leaving a quick rating or review helps others discover it too.And if you’d like to support what I’m doing here, you can become a monthly partner.As a thank you, I’ll send you a physical copy of the book, Unshakable: Standing Strong When Things Go Wrong.
