Episode notes
Lately, I’ve been reminded how easy it is to feel guilty for slowing down or taking care of ourselves. After coming back from my trip and feeling jet-lagged, God gently reminded me that rest is actually an act of trust.
In this episode, I talk about what self-care looks like through the lens of faith — how it’s not selfish, but stewardship. Even Jesus withdrew to rest and pray, and if He needed that space, so do we. I hope this conversation encourages you to release the guilt, embrace rest as worship, and remember that you don’t have to earn your worth or your rest. Hope this encourages you!
