Peace = Rest...?

We talk about rest as if it looks the same for everyone, but Scripture paints a deeper picture. In this episode, we explore what biblical rest really is and what it is not. Drawing from Hebrews 4, this conversation challenges the idea that rest is simply slowing down or doing nothing, and instead points us to a rest rooted in trust rather than striving. This episode is for anyone who has been told they are doing too much, moving too fast, or resting the wrong way, and for those who quietly wonder whether their soul is truly at peace before God. A thoughtful reflection on resting without guilt, without comparison, and without turning God’s gift of rest into a rigid formula.
