What’s tired in your life? What area feels depleted? Today we’re talking about embracing a lifestyle of rest, including how to rest when you’re emotionally exhausted.

If I were to ask every listener if she struggled with rest, I’m guessing 99.9% of you would say yes. When we rest, we feel:

  • Guilty
  • Unproductive
  • Like it’s a waste of time

Yet, God designed us to rest.

In this episode, Dr. Saundra shares:

  • The seven types of rest,
  • How to weave rest into your daily routine
  • And practical truth when you feel guilty about resting.
