Episode Transcription

You weren’t made to grind until you crash—you were made to rest *while* you run. Mikel shares how Jesus modeled a rhythm of engagement and withdrawal, of saying no to say yes. Rest isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. With Exodus 33:14 as a guide, this episode reminds you that God's presence moves with you. If you’ve been burning out or living for the next vacation, this is your wake-up call to build a better rhythm.
