Do you usually wait until you're burnt out to finally rest, but it's hard to actually do it?
There's a name for this: the "recovery paradox." The busier and more stressed we get, the harder it becomes to actually stop... right when we need it most.
In this episode of Healthy & Redeemed, we explore why rest isn't damage control — it's prevention. Discover what God's design for rest actually looks like (hint: it's not sleep, and it's not scrolling your phone), dig into what Scripture really says about rest, and even pause to practice it together.
If you've ever felt guilty for slowing down or like rest is something only "other people" get to do, this episode might just change how you view rest — and give you a simple, doable way to start building it into your week, starting today.
Note: The Hebrew words discussed are not pronounced correctly. :)
