When God told me to Stop: My 8-Week Sabbatical and Learning to Rest

from 1000 & ONE Steps · host Tia Braswell

Sometimes obedience does not look like doing more. Sometimes it looks like stopping to rest.In this episode of the 1000 & ONE Steps Podcast, Tia shares the story behind the unexpected 8-week sabbatical that ended Season 1. What felt like burnout at first became an invitation into rest, trust, and deeper alignment with God. Anchored in Psalm 23, this conversation explores what happens when God asks you to slow down, lie down, and let Him restore what striving can’t.This episode is for anyone who feels tired, overwhelmed, or afraid that resting means falling behind. It is a reminder that God is not impressed by exhaustion and that sometimes the most faithful step forward is to stop.✗ JOIN OUR LIVE BIBLE STUDY!Every Monday @ 7 PM ESTJoin us on Zoom here: linktr.ee/1000onestepsGroupMe: https://groupme.com/join_group/107563641/Aa9jtjovWant to give your life to Christ?
