About this listen

Ever felt like life just won’t let up? In this episode, we explore the surprising kindness of a God who makes us rest—even when we don’t think we need it. Drawing from Psalm 23, we’ll unpack how true rest isn’t laziness or luxury—it’s grace. We’ll talk burnout, busyness, and why “comfort” might not always feel like a warm hug. If you’re exhausted, overcommitted, or just running on empty, this one’s for you.

Highlights:

  • The hidden power of “He makes me lie down”

  • Why the Shepherd’s rod and staff are good news

  • What’s really chasing you: guilt or grace?

  • A fresh take on rest as an act of faith

Pull up a chair—or better yet, lie down in green pastures—and let’s rethink what it means to be still.
