The Sacred Art of Breathing Room  ( and When Empty Becomes an Emergency)

Hey, this is Amber! In today's breathy podcast, we dive into the sacred art of creating breathing room in our lives and confront the human instinct to fill every empty space. Suffering from allergies, I share a personal struggle that's been convicting me: why do we always feel the need to fill empty spaces in our physical, mental, and emotional lives, even when God intends for us to rest? We explore the Biblical commandment of the Sabbath, the necessity of rest, and practical steps to break the cycle of constantly filling up and reacquaint with essential breathing room. Come with me as we challenge ourselves to breathe, rest, and protect our sacred spaces, ending with a heartfelt prayer for rest without guilt and clarity in God's presence.Amber Weigand-Buckley is an Amazon #1 bestselling and multi-award-winning author, podcaster, and the founding editor and art director of the multi-award-winning Leading Hearts magazine.
