Unwrapping Rest: The Podcast
For the Christian woman tired of trying to be enough.
Episode 13…
Sometimes what we call waiting on God is wisdom, but sometimes it’s fear. In this episode of Unwrapping Rest, we explore how peace may not come before the step, but can meet us in faithful obedience.
What if rest isn’t something you earn?
Unwrapping Rest is your invitation to stop striving and find the peace Jesus offers. Each episode is a gentle reminder that true rest doesn’t come from a finished checklist. It comes from trusting the One who finished the work for us.
Episode 11…
Feeling weary or overwhelmed? Let Peter’s story in Matthew 14 remind you that hope and peace are found when we keep our eyes on Jesus.
Mini Moment…
A short pause between episodes of Unwrapping Rest to realign our hearts with Jesus. In this Mini Moment, we linger over Matthew 6:25–33 and remember the call to seek first His kingdom.
