The Rest Your Soul (and Your Kids) Are Craving

Designed Foundations

Juggling the demands of work, family, and personal aspirations often leaves us yearning for a more balanced life. This episode of Designed Foundations explores why incorporating true biblical rest in the home is foundational for every family.

Our host, Kelly Meehan, sits down with her dear guest, Natalie Black, as she shares the profound impact that small, mindful changes to your day-to-day life can make. Drawing from both cultural contexts and biblical teachings, Natalie’s insights paint a picture of how true rest can positively transform our often hectic schedules.

In a world where our identities are often tied to productivity, Natalie tells us that our worth is not defined by busyness for its own sake. By embracing our true identity as children of God, we can step back from societal pressures and focus on nurturing and healing not only ourselves, but our families as well.

Natalie challenges the notion that everything hinges on our relentless involvement, stating that ultimate control rests with God. It’s important to find solace in the divine command to rest, to find peace in the midst of the chaos of modern life!
