Summary

How do we experience true rest in a culture that demands striving and encourages fatigue? What does it even look like to live from a place of rest instead of burnout and exhaustion like most people around us do? For author, pastor, speaker, and mom of four, Jess Connolly, these were the questions she had to wrestle with in the face of all the demands coming at her from her various roles. When life hit a fever pitch and she seemed to reach a breaking point in every way, she knew that she needed more than some sort of watered down self-care answer. She needed to find a way to truly live from a place of trust in the goodness of God to provide and carry her through the noise and speed of life around her. It was through her own journey of figuring out how to deal with the soul-deep exhaustion that she decided to take others along in her latest book, Tired of Being Tired: Receive God’s Realistic Rest for Your Soul-Deep Exhaustion.In this episode, Aubrey and Jess talk about how difficult it is to find rest in our modern culture, the different ways fatigue can show up, and how to lead in our pain and grief. If you are tired of being tired--mentally, physically and spiritually--this conversation will show you that you don't need the world's false versions of rest, but you need an encounter with the one who offers you true rest in the depths of your being.

0:00.0	Hey friend I'm wondering if you're feeling stuck in your tragedy, your trauma, or some major life transition.
0:07.0	I know I felt that before. The truth is without a clear path and a careful plan,
0:12.1	the valleys we face will only seem to grow darker, more depressing,
0:16.9	and more difficult to navigate.
0:18.7	Early on in my journey of losing my wife Amanda in a home invasion.

1:06.0	Find myself falling into different pits or things that I was going to be facing. And it was so helpful to have someone who actually understood and could empathize with the very thing that I was going through guiding me along the journey and

1:20.0	shadow of death and moved through it.
1:23.2	That is exactly why nothing is wasted.
