Episode Details

Do you feel like you can't rest until the therapy paperwork is filed, the IEP meeting is survived, and the meltdown is over? Have you convinced yourself that rest is something you earn only after everything on your list is checked off? What if Jesus never put that condition on it in the first place?

In this solo episode, I share a quiet devotional recorded from the hills of Kentucky, reflecting on what it really means to rest as a mom walking the road of advocating for a child with additional needs. Drawing from Matthew 11:28-29, I remind listeners (and myself!) that Jesus doesn't ask us to earn rest — He invites us into it right in the middle of our weariness, unfinished days, and all.

Scripture Referenced:
Matthew 11:28-29 — "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
