Summary

Busy. Distracted. Overwhelmed. Worn out. Are these the inevitable characteristics of motherhood? Or is there another way? In this episode, Laura shares her journey from "hurry sickness" to rest. She helps clarify the biblical practice of Sabbath and explains how orienting one day of the week toward rest and worship can change all the other days. Even moms can find Sabbath rest as our hands do good while our hearts rest in the gospel!

We're grateful to Bethany House Publishers and Kristen Whetherell's new book, Fight Your Fears: Trusting God's Character and Promises When You Are Afraid, for making this week's show possible. Find out more at kristenwetherell.com/books.

which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel to be repeated over and over,

giving us hope in the everyday moments. So, mama, whether you're sipping cold coffee or doing
