Unwrapping Rest
Tired of trying so hard to be okay? You’re not alone. Unwrapping Rest is for the Christian woman who is weary from perfectionism, overwhelmed by her never-ending to-do list, and ready to trade burnout for biblical rest that lasts. If you are stuck in the striving cycle -- constantly trying to be enough -- this podcast is your invitation to stop trying so hard and learn to rest in Jesus. Together, we will explore how to break free from perfectionism that is stealing your peace; biblical alternatives to hustle culture that actually work; why your planner can never fix your burnout (and what can); practical ways to find rest for your anxious, overwhelmed heart; and ways to connect with God in true rest. Hosted by Dawn Tolbert, author of I'd Rather Die Than Obey: Trusting God Even When It Hurts, this podcast offers encouragement for the woman who is ready to stop striving and start truly living.

Are you wrapped up in a to-do list longer than a CVS receipt? Are you feeling more harried and hurried than holly and jolly?
I have good news. God wants to give you the gift of rest, and He has something so much better than the holiday warm and fuzzies to offer.
