Rest in HIM

A lot of us say we trust Jesus, but our calendars and anxiety tell a different story. In this episode, we address busyness, overwork, and the daily struggle to actually rest in Christ while carrying real responsibilities. From Matthew 11 to practical routines, this is a direct conversation on busyness, peace, and what trust looks like on an average Tuesday. --- 🕐 WHAT'S COVERED 0:00:00 — Opening welcome and topic framing: rest, peace, and pressure 0:03:00 — Opening prayer for those dealing with overwork and exhaustion 0:06:13 — Lesson overview: busyness, root causes, and receiving rest 0:10:21 — Core scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 0:15:55 — Scripture anchors: Philippians 4:6-7, Psalm 46:10, Isaiah 40:31 0:25:39 — Problem statement: busyness, anxiety, and faith under pressure 0:44:00 — Root causes: seeker burden, leader burden, testing trap 0:58:14 — Solutions section: practical reframing and intentional rest 1:05:57 — More scripture support for trust, peace, and surrender 1:16:30 — Closing challenge: what would you need to believe to actually stop? 1:20:00 — Community discussion: practical rhythms, boundaries, and discipline 1:42:42 — Final charge and outro --- 📖 KEY SCRIPTURE Matthew 11:28-30 — "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
