Have you tried all the stress management strategies out there but feel little difference?

Does it feel overwhelming to even research stress management strategies?

Are you grasping at any and all strategies to reduce stress, but find that you are right back where you started?...and even more overwhelmed?

You are not alone! Sometimes in our desperation to find a solution or a relief from the stress we are experiencing, that in itself can be a distraction and not very helpful.

In this episode, we will dive into how Jesus models to us a rhythm of “retreat and return” that is relevant to us today.

After my fourth son, I battled overwhelm, stress, and disconnection despite trying many self-care strategies. True freedom came when I began daily, moment-by-moment time with Jesus. In Luke 5:12–16, Jesus models a rhythm of retreat and return, withdrawing to pray amid busyness. We’re invited to do the same through worship, prayer, meditating on Scripture, and journaling. This daily rhythm supports stress management, time management, and whole-body care—alongside practical habits like eating well, enjoying a Mediterranean diet recipe, and strength training—helping us return renewed and grounded.

Scriptures referenced in the episode:

• Luke 5:12-16
• Philippians 4:6-7
• Isaiah 41:10

Additional Scriptures to pray and meditate on (these are just starting points and suggestions):

• Psalm 23
• Proverbs 3:5-6
• Psalm 91
• Ephesians 1:16-20
• Deuteronomy 28:1-14
