Because when we make space for rest, we position ourselves to receive more of His presence, His wisdom, and His provision.✨ In this episode, we’ll chat about:🌸 What true Sabbath looks like (hint: it’s more than just taking a day off)🌸 Why rest is an act of faith and surrender🌸 How keeping the Sabbath strengthens your relationship with God🌸 Simple ways to slow down and incorporate holy rest into your busy lifeIf you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or running on fumes, this conversation will remind you that rest is holy—and it’s exactly what your soul needs to flourish. 📖 Scriptures to Hold Onto:✨ Exodus 20:8-10 – “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”✨ Mark 2:27 – “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”✨ Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”🌟 Let’s Stay Connected!📲 Follow me on Instagram for more encouragement → @iamrachelearpFollow the Sacred Hustle on Instagram HEREWatch the episode LIVE on Youtube HERE🎙️ Subscribe for future episodes Learn more about me at www.rachelearp.comThis episode is sponsored by Toups & Co Organics- tallow-based ancestral skincare that I LOVE!
