It’s complicated, isn’t it? When this drive to do and be and prove rubs up against what Jesus invites us into in Matthew 30:28-30:
“Come to me, all you 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
It’s easy to allow those verses to become a sentiment instead of a practice. The yoke this world offers us steers us toward burn-out, exhaustion and, ultimately, emptiness.
But this yoke Jesus graciously offers us – daily – is one of hope. One of steadiness and full of reminders that all of our striving will only leave us tired – not fulfilled.
We know most of us here are driven, ambitious women. So, it only seems right to spend a few episodes every year talking about rest and the value of pushing our pride aside to say, “I need a break.”
In this episode, Somer talks to our friend, Linda Lotich from Seedtime. Linda shares a little of her own story, which has led her to a deep desire to see women not only feel permission to rest, but to understand that stepping away with the Lord, even from their own families, is vital to their soul and ministry.
A few things they’ll cover:
- The Importance of Taking Breaks for Moms
- Linda’s Personal Journey and Insights on Rest
- Practical Steps Towards Prioritizing Rest and God
- Embracing the Prodigal Son’s Lesson: Everything God Has is Already Ours
- Finding Rest in God In the Middle of Life’s Challenges
