From marathon training to mental health, we unpack the tension between rest and productivity, and why so many of us feel guilty when we stop.We reflect on the rhythms of races like the London and Paris Marathons, and how rest isn’t just important — it’s essential for endurance, performance, and life. But this conversation goes further: what if rest isn’t something you earn, but something you were designed for?Together, we explore: Why rest is not a reward, but part of your design The surprising truth that God rested The pressure of “busy culture” and the idolatry of always being on the go Whether doom scrolling is actually rest (or just distraction) The difference between sleep and true soul rest How to rest through community, friendship, and being fully yourself And the big question: do you believe you were created good — even before you achieved anything?Whether you're recovering from a race, heading into a bank holiday reset, or just feeling worn out, this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and rediscover a healthier rhythm.🎧 Take a moment. Take a breath. Take a beat.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gBt_Q2877upfXQ3dhi5ZMqvGVAAlsdAnyMHtiGJTCt4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80NTE3/MmQ0NzE4OGQ4MDQ2/NWY1NmE3OThhODAx/ZDRkOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
