But what if rest isn't a reward you earn after getting everything done—it’s a rhythm God designed us to live by?In this episode of the Home and Marriage Podcast, we talk honestly about why so many of us struggle to rest and how constant busyness, being endlessly available, and even our phones can keep us from truly being refreshed. We’ll share three signs that you may be living a restless life and three practical ways to make rest a regular part of your life.We talk about:Why weekends and vacations can't fix a lifestyle of constant busynessHow being constantly available can rob you of rest and presenceWhy your phone and social media may not be as restful as you thinkHow to make rest a rhythm instead of a rewardThe difference between recreation and simply numbing yourselfWhy couples need hobbies, friendships, and intentional time to rechargeWhy biblical rest is more than just the absence of workHow the presence of God brings the kind of rest our souls truly needMost importantly, we’re reminded that rest is an act of trust. God doesn't need us to keep everything running.
