What if the secret to finding true rest isn’t in finishing your to-do list but in rethinking how you define yourself?

Do you find it hard to rest because your worth feels tied to your productivity? In this episode, we’ll talk about the anxiety that arises when we base our identity on what we do—and how God invites us into a better way. You’ll discover biblical truths that remind us our identity is rooted in God, not our work. We’ll explore practical steps to embrace rest as a gift, work from a place of peace, and break free from numbing behaviors that distract us from His presence.
