E60 - The Biblical Reason You May Be So Exhausted - Biblical Principles About Rest

Are you resting…but still waking up tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or mentally exhausted?

What if the problem isn't that you need MORE rest—but that you need a different kind of rest? In this episode of the Good News at Work podcast, we're talking about biblical rest: what the Bible says about rest, how to find true rest in God, and the difference between biblical rest and the Sabbath. Because you can sit on the couch all evening and never actually rest. You can take a vacation and bring your anxiety with you. And you can stop working while your brain continues running a 24-hour customer service center for every problem in your life.

😬 So what does Jesus mean when He says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" in Matthew 11:28? That's what we're digging into. If you've been dealing with burnout, stress, anxiety, an overloaded schedule, people pleasing, overthinking, difficulty slowing down, or simply feeling spiritually exhausted, this conversation may help you rethink what "rest" actually looks like from a Christian perspective. We'll explore biblical principles for finding peace and rest in God, why trusting God is such an important part of genuine rest, and some practical ways to stop carrying responsibilities and worries that were never yours to carry in the first place.

And yes—we're also going to tackle an interesting question: Are resting wrong?

This episode includes encouragement, practical biblical advice, a little tough love and, hopefully, a few laughs along the way. If you're tired of being tired, give this one a watch. You may discover that biblical rest has a lot less to do with doing nothing—and a lot more to do with learning to trust God with what happens when you do.
