What do you believe rest looks like for you? Do you have a deep seated desire for rest?

In this episode, I’ll discuss 3 types of rest in the Bible and discuss what resting looks like for each rest type.

Rest in Scripture goes deeper than stopping activity. Believer’s rest is salvation—trusting Jesus’ finished work, not religious effort. Sabbath rest is a weekly rhythm God designed for renewal, not rigid rules, supporting stress management, time management, and physical restoration. Abiding rest is living daily in God’s presence—security, peace, and freedom from anxiety. Together, these rests fuel holistic self-care: spiritual peace, emotional stability, and wise daily practices like eating well, Mediterranean diet recipes, and intentional routines with time blocking and exercise that support a healthy, God-centered life.

Scripture referenced:

Hebrews 4:1-3 , ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬, Ephesians 2:8 , Ephesians 1:4, 2 Timothy 1:9, Hebrews 4:10, Exodus 34:21, Colossians 2:16, Mark 2:27, Psalm 91:1
