Episode Details

What if the season you called “rest” was actually God preparing you for what was coming next?

In this first episode of Notes for Her Faith, Whitney shares what happened during her extended sabbatical, including the unexpected news that her position was being eliminated. What initially looked like a quiet season became a time of preparation, clarity, and deeper trust in God.

We’re talking honestly about the difference between resting because God told you to be still and staying comfortable when He has already told you to move. Whitney also shares why surrender cannot come with an invisible deadline, how constant noise can make it harder to recognize God’s voice, and what changed when she finally created uninterrupted space to listen.

In this episode:

• Why Whitney stepped away longer than she planned

• How rest prepared her for an unexpected layoff

• The difference between godly rest and avoiding your next move

• Letting go of how and when you think God should answer

• Why God may not be silent, even when you cannot hear Him

• Creating regular space with God before reaching burnout

Your Note for Her Faith:

When was the last time you intentionally disconnected long enough to hear God, not because everything was falling apart, but simply because you wanted to be with Him?
