Did you know rest isn’t a reward for finishing your to-do list—it’s a holy command woven into the fabric of creation? Rest + Rise is a 7-episode series on the Broken & Beautiful Podcast, created to help Christian women step out of exhaustion and into God’s rhythm of renewal.
In this opening episode, Stephanie Feger and Shannon Carroll of Broken & Beautiful Retreats lay the foundation with a powerful truth: from the very beginning, God modeled rest—not because He needed it, but because we do.
From Genesis 2:2-3, where God rested after creation, to the command to honor the Sabbath in Exodus 20, Scripture makes it clear—rest is not optional or indulgent, it’s holy. And in Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites the weary to come to Him and find true rest.
Rest is not a luxury for the few—it’s an essential rhythm for us all. Join us as we rediscover rest as a sacred gift, a divine invitation, and a necessary act of obedience in a world that glorifies busyness.
If you’ve been running on empty, this is your invitation to step into the sacred rhythm God intended from the very beginning. Learn more about upcoming retreats and opportunities for rest at www.brokenandbeautifulretreats.com.
