Tired of Feeling Exhausted and Empty?

from Leaving the Shallows · host Heather Bradley and Jackie Skanderup

Rest. That's a word we almost laugh at in this culture! Does one even have time for that? Living a life of hustling and going from thing to thing has almost become an idol. If your schedule isn't jam packed then you must be lazy or you're missing out on what you are supposed to be doing. Despite the fact that most of us are running around filled with anxiety, depression, fear, exhaustion and control issues we keep running. We keep doing. We keep NOT resting. Or at least we haven't entered into God's rest.In this episode, we want to encourage you to go against the norm. We want to show  you the life God draws us into. A life filled with less stress and more peace.  A life where entering into God's rest is a priority. What does it mean to you to enter into God’s rest? Do you imagine a nice long nap on a Sunday afternoon? Or maybe it’s the drama around you coming to a stop. For some, it may be something you think will happen when you get to heaven. Join Jackie and Heather today as we have a conversation about what entering into God’s rest means because it’s more than the absence of drama or catching up on sleep. It’s deeper.  Jesus invited us into His rest when He died for our sins and made a way back to right standing with God our Father. When we enter into a relationship with Jesus, we begin to abide in Him; in other words, we REST in Him. The striving stops. The peace that surpasses understanding begins. We no longer have to be tossed around by the waves of a storm. Our emotions no longer rule.  Our souls begin to rest in the knowing of who God is and the knowing that God is with us and goes before us!
