The Resting Place

Send us Fan MailYou are not behind in God's timeline. But the lie that you are has been sitting on your chest for a long time and today we are addressing it directly.In this episode, Elom opens Psalm 23 verses 1 through 3 and unpacks what it truly means to have the Lord as your shepherd. Not your taskmaster. Not your judge. Your shepherd the one whose entire job is to lead you, protect you, and make sure you lack nothing you were supposed to have by now.But before we get to the truth, we have to name the lies. And in this episode Elom names every single battle the exhausted woman is fighting the comparison that steals her joy, the perfectionism that tells her she is never enough, the busyness that has tied her worth to her output, and the people pleasing that has made her a stranger to her own voice.She is fighting all four. Simultaneously. Every single day.No wonder she feels behind.This episode is for the woman who has been running a race that was never designed for her to win because it was never her race to run. It is an invitation to stop. To let the shepherd lead. And to receive, perhaps for the first time, the soul rest that only He can give.We open in Psalm 23 and close in prayer spoken directly over the woman who has been measuring herself against everyone else's timeline but God's.In this episode:The four battles every exhausted woman is fighting at once and why none of them were hers to fightA deep dive into Psalm 23:1–3 and what it means that He makes you lie downWhy your worth was never in what you do and what God says it is actually inA practical rest prompt to carry into your weekA prayer spoken over the woman who is tired of feeling like she is falling behind"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul." — Psalm 23:1–3Support the show
