Why Rest Feels Risky

Rest sounds good in theory, but it can feel unsafe when your identity is tied to productivity. For some of us, slowing down forces us to face insecurities we’d rather outrun. In this episode, I share how I filled my life with “work” and “ministry” because those were places I felt confident, while home life exposed the areas where I doubted myself — even with a husband who believed in me completely.

We’ll look at Matthew 11:28–29 (NASB) to see what it means to accept the rest Jesus offers, even when stillness feels uncomfortable. This is a conversation about trading self-protection for the safety of His presence.

If rest has felt more like a threat than a gift, this episode will help you take the first step back toward it.
