Why Does the Bible Say Rest is Important?

Does your faith feel like another item on your to-do list?

In this refreshingly honest episode of "You, Me, and Jesus," Keenya shares her embarrassing burnout story and the wake-up call that taught her that taking breaks isn't just self-care—it's actually biblical.

Discover the holy balance between productivity and presence as Keenya unpacks the spiritual practice of saying "no" without the guilt.

Learn practical ways to weave rest into your overwhelmed life and laugh along with Keenya's former hustle culture mindset that had her believing busier meant more spiritual.

In our "What Would Jesus Actually Do?" segment, we explore how Jesus might respond to an overworked, burned-out professional who feels guilty for not doing more "for God"—offering permission to rest rather than praising sacrifice.

Whether you're running on empty, feeling guilty every time you take a break, or simply longing for a faith that refreshes rather than exhausts, this episode offers the permission slip you've been waiting for to embrace God's gift of rest.
