Did you know that rest is a choice?

In Isaiah 30:15–16, God offers His people a powerful invitation:

“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
in quietness and trust shall be your strength.
But you were unwilling…”

So often, we choose hustle over stillness, control over trust. We run hard—only to end up weary, anxious, and empty.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the kind of rest that only God can give. If your pace feels unsustainable or your soul feels unsettled, this conversation is your invitation to press reset and step into God’s rhythm of grace.
