Ever feel like you're on a treadmill that won’t quit—always running, always chasing, never arriving? If you're a first-gen firestarter like me, raised with the “work hard or go hungry” grind etched into your bones, this episode is for you.
Today, we’re going there. Into the conversation hustle culture doesn’t want us to have. The one about rest. Not the performative kind, but the radical, biblical kind. The kind that reminds us: God never asked us to earn our worth. He called us to Sabbath.
This isn’t about ancient rules—it’s about sacred rhythms. Think putting your feet up after a soul-draining week. That’s kind of essential. We’re talking biblical rest, generational exhaustion, and the truth about our identity being tied to production. Spoiler alert: it’s not.
In this episode I cover:
<ul>
 <li>
Why hustle culture has us twisted on productivity and worth
</li>
 <li>
What Sabbath teaches us about trust, provision, and identity
</li>
 <li>
The 7-year vineyard principle: how rest restores fruitfulness
</li>
 <li>
Why saying “no” to nonstop doing is a bold act of faith
</li>
 <li>
My personal story of disconnecting from grind culture and embracing rest
</li>
</ul>
Let’s unhook our calendars from chaos. Because real rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a declaration.
I trust the One who provides.
