In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with my friend Laura, author of The Path to Rest. Laura shares her personal story of burnout, health struggles, and the slow work of reversing self-reliance. Together we open the Bible and look at people who faced exhaustion and pressure, including Elijah, Moses, and even Jesus, and we talk about what it means to trust God when your body and heart are tired in a 24/7 culture. In this conversation: - What Sabbath rhythms can look like in a nonstop life - How delegation and worship help you stop carrying everything alone - Why daily returning to God is the heart of real rest If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs it, or reach out at [https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact](https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact).
