Episode 9 | The Mirror | REST

Why Is It So Hard for Me to Rest?Anchor Scripture: John 6:35Many of us are tired—but not just physically tired.Soul tired.The kind of tired that follows us into our vacations, our weekends, our accomplishments, and even our quiet moments.In this week’s Mirror Lens of our June Anchor Word, REST, we’re asking a deeper question:What if the issue isn’t that we’re too busy?What if we’re restless?Using Jesus’ invitation in John 6:35, we’ll explore how a restless soul is often a hungry soul and a thirsty soul—searching for significance, security, peace, and worth in places that were never designed to satisfy us.Together we’ll reflect on three powerful questions: • What am I hungry for? • What am I thirsty for? • What am I feeding my soul?We’ll also explore why rest feels so vulnerable, why surrender is often harder than striving, and how God’s Word reveals what we’ve truly been trusting.If you’ve ever struggled to slow down, let go of control, or believe that God is working when you are not, this conversation is for you.Because rest is not ultimately the absence of work.It is the presence of Christ.Key Scriptures: John 6:35 James 1:23–25 1 John 3:1 Psalm 23 Matthew 11:28–30 John 5:17Reflection Questions: • What am I hungry for right now? • What am I thirsty for? • What am I feeding my soul? • Am I spending more time feeding my fears than feeding my faith?If this episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and share it with a friend?
