You gained an hour... so why do you still feel exhausted?

If your body’s weary and your mind won’t quit, it’s not just lack of sleep; it’s a rhythm that’s out of sync. It’s easy to push through late nights, chase productivity, and call it faithfulness, but God calls it striving.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to quiet the noise, recognize God’s built-in cues for rest, and embrace physical self-care as part of your spiritual rhythm. Because peace doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from aligning your pace with His.
