What if rest wasn’t just a break from your schedule—but a bold act of faith?

In this episode of Cultivate Rest, we explore Sabbath as a sacred invitation into radical trust. You’ll discover how God didn’t just rest on the seventh day—He sanctified it, setting it apart as holy. This divine act wasn’t just about creation—it was about establishing a rhythm for us to follow: a pattern of work, rest, and deep surrender.

Together, we’ll unpack:

• What it means to sanctify time
• Why Sabbath is more than self-care—it’s soul care
• How setting apart time to rest can reshape your identity and deepen your trust in God

Whether you’re weary from hustle culture or hungry for deeper peace, this episode offers you a sacred pause—with a promise.

When life feels hurried, stretched thin, or scattered, God invites us back into His rhythms of rest. In today’s episode, we’ll pause long enough to breathe, realign, and remember that rest is not a reward—it’s a refuge.

Begin Sacred Pause

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of holding it all together? When life feels hurried and exposed, we reach for control—overloaded schedules, perfectionism, people-pleasing—hoping to feel safe. But God never asked us to build our own shelter. He offers one.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Why God’s covering is strong, not fragile

• The difference between striving in our own strength and abiding in His presence

• How trusting His shelter creates rhythm, not restlessness

Through Scripture, reflection, and blessing, you’ll be invited to step out of striving and into the safety of God’s presence. Rest doesn’t begin with doing more. It begins with dwelling.

Where are you striving when God is inviting you to dwell?

Trusting the Pace of the Eternal God

We live in a world that rewards hustle, instant results, and quick fixes. And when life feels uncertain or our prayers seem unanswered, our anxious hearts often want to rush God.

But what if His pace is part of His mercy? What if waiting is not wasted time, but holy ground where God shapes us in ways we can’t yet see?

In today’s episode, we’ll explore what it means to walk with a God who is never early, never late, and never in a hurry. Together we’ll look at:

• Why God’s slowness is not weakness, but love.

• How Jesus Himself moved at a pace aligned with resurrection timing.

• How to trust God’s timing when everything in us feels restless.

If you’re tired of hurrying and longing for a more unhurried life with God, I created something for you: Abide — a free 7-day journey into seven rhythms of rest. You can download it through the link below.

May this episode remind you that the kingdom is not in a hurry… and neither is God.

Episode 6: The Gift of Slow
In a culture that glorifies hustle, what would it look like to move at God’s pace instead? In this episode, we pause long enough to remember that abundance isn’t found in constant motion—it’s found in presence. Through scripture, gentle reflection, and practical encouragement, you’ll be invited to slow your soul, align with God’s rhythms, and discover the peace that comes from living unhurried and rooted in Him.

The Holy Rebellion Against Hustle

What if rest isn’t a reward for finishing your to-do list, but a holy act of resistance?

In this episode, we’ll explore why God calls us to step out of the endless cycle of hustle and into the quiet, trust-filled rhythms He designed for our good. You’ll hear the truth of Isaiah 30:15 and Psalm 127:2, a personal story of breaking free from fear-driven busyness, and a simple guided breath prayer to help you pause right where you are.

If you’ve been running on empty — weary, overextended, or wondering who you are without the constant doing — this is your invitation to say one sacred “no” so you can say a deeper “yes” to the life God has for you.

Episode Summary:
This episode is for the woman sitting in the space between what was and what’s next — between the question and the clarity, the ache and the answer. If you're navigating uncertainty, waiting for breakthrough, or feeling stuck in a fog, you're not lost — you're being formed. Today, we’ll name the beauty and the ache of the “messy middle,” and remember the One who meets us exactly here.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A gentle reframe for the waiting seasons of life

• A soul-centering reflection from Psalm 139

• A breath prayer to help you feel grounded and guided

• A benediction to carry you through the in-between
