Jamie's Journey
The Bible Says......Rest is a Power Move!!!
We’ve been taught that rest is something you “earn.” That once you’ve hustled hard enough, then you get to pause. But the truth? Rest isn’t a luxury — it’s a power move.
In this episode, Jamie unpacks the cost of skipping rest, how strategic rest sharpens your clarity and creativity, and what the Bible actually teaches us about rest as part of God’s design. From Genesis to Jesus withdrawing to pray, rest has always been about wisdom, preparation, and trust — not weakness.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, this episode will help you reframe rest as obedience and strategy. You’ll walk away with practical ways to schedule intentional rest and the encouragement to see it as fuel for your long game.

- How the Bible models rest through creation, Sabbath, and Jesus’ own rhythms
