We've all done it — the new plan, the new resolve, the "this time I mean it." So why does it never stick? In this episode, we dig into why willpower and self-discipline can't fix a body image struggle, because the real issue was never really about the body at all. In this episode best-selling author and podcast host, Heather Creekmore discusses the distinction between managing behavior and addressing the root, why trying harder can subtly become its own idol, and what practical, lasting change actually looks like when it emerges from being already loved, rather than striving to earn it. Take this with you quote of the episode: "We quietly switch the engine to self-effort, as if right information could finish what only Christ began." Timestamped Overview: 00:00 Struggling with conflicting diet advice 04:42 Sarah's frustrating morning routine 07:47 Myth of a perfect fitness answer 12:06 Jesus and the Woman at the Well 14:32 Breaking free from earning mindset 18:03 Self-effort versus grace in faith 21:42 Practical steps to inspire change 26:18 Embracing rest over striving 27:44 Finding peace in ordinary choices Discussion questions for listeners / community: What's your "well" — the thing you keep going back to, hoping it will finally satisfy? When has "trying harder" worked short-term but failed to last? What happened? What would it look like this week to ask "what am I actually thirsty for?" instead of "how do I white-knuckle this?"

Most of us would answer the question "how are you going?" with "busy." Not rested. Never rested. And yet the fourth commandment is on God's gift of rest, built into the rhythm of creation itself.This message from Mark 2 and Exodus 20 unpacks what it actually means to keep the Sabbath in a culture that can't switch off. Rest isn't a reward for finished work. It's an act of trust that God runs the world. And the rest Jesus offers goes deeper than a day off, it reaches the soul.Part of the Ten Commandments series at Soul Revival Church.
Why would God command His people to rest? In this episode, we take a deeper look at the Fourth Commandment: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Rather than treating Sabbath as another religious rule to check off a list, the conversation explores why God designed His people to stop, rest, worship, and remember that they are not ultimately responsible for holding everything together.In a culture where phones, work, ministry, notifications, and constant productivity make it difficult to slow down, Sabbath challenges us to trust God enough to stop. The hosts explore how our inability to rest can reveal deeper struggles with control, significance, security, and approval—and why our families and our relationship with God need more than what we can provide. Clarity in chaos. Bringing hope to a chaotic world.patreon.com/TheTruthResponsehttps://linktr.ee/thetruthresponsehttps://www.instagram.com/thetruthresponse/https://www.facebook.com/thetruthresponsehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-response/id1504362531https://open.spotify.com/show/6Kpkgsy7I7zVuv5UyiRACu?si=BqwQH988RW2DpLbYg5BnSA

Diligent Labor, Restorative Rest: Christ Our Daily Sabbath (Matthew 12:1-8) "Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place." 2 Corinthians 2:14 The foundation of a triumphant kingdom life is a 2-fold: diligent labor paired with restorative rest.

A message from Helen Rist at Forest Town Church, St Albans (UK). Helen speaks on "A Sabbath Rest of God's People", speaking on Hebrews 3.
In this message we talk about when & how we should take Sabbath Rest
Preacher: Rev. Harald Schoubye - Though we have died with Christ in Holy Baptism, and we are raised to new life in Him, we find “another law waging war” in our body and life, that is, between our old Adam and the new man (Rom. 7:23). By the Spirit of Christ, we “desire to do what is right,” but we are not able to do so because “nothing good” dwells in our sinful flesh (Rom. 7:18). “Thanks be to God,” therefore, “through Jesus Christ our Lord,” who delivers us from “this body of death” (Rom. 7:24–25). We rejoice in Him, our gentle King, who comes “righteous and having salvation” (Zech. 9:9). He speaks peace to our embattled hearts, and by His blood of the New Testament He sets us “free from the waterless pit,” and He returns us to the stronghold of our Baptism (Zech. 9:10–12). Though we “labor and are heavy laden,” He calls us to Himself and gives rest to our souls through His free and full forgiveness (Matt. 11:28), not because we are “wise and understanding,” but by the “gracious will” of God the Father, whom “the Son chooses to reveal” in love (Matt. 11:25–27).

On this episode we discuss the biblical command to set the Lord's Day aside as a day of worship and rest, and what that should look like practically. Listen and be encouraged!
Summer is a wonderful time for a slower pace of life. So is Sunday. Fr Edward reflects on entering into Sabbath rest as a response to Jesus's invitation to “come to him.”
In this episode of the Innovative Church Leaders podcast, host Jenni Wong Clayville interviews Dr. Chesarae Fletcher about the importance of Sabbath, rest, and community for women of color and church leaders. They explore practical ways to incorporate Sabbath into daily life, the theological significance of rest, and the power of sisterhood in healing and renewal.They also discuss the anthology: Sabbath with My Sisters an Anthology: Women Reflecting on God's Rest in a Restless World.
Come Away and Rest When was the last time you truly rested? In Episode 156 of 2 Minute Disciple, we reflect on Mark 6:30–34, where the disciples return from ministry exhausted and full of stories. Before discussing their accomplishments or planning the next mission, Jesus offers a simple invitation: “Come away by yourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” It's a powerful reminder that Jesus is not only concerned with what we do for Him—He is deeply concerned with our souls. He knows when we've been giving, serving, working, and striving. He knows when we're running on empty. Yet the story takes an unexpected turn. The crowds follow. The quiet retreat is interrupted. And instead of responding with frustration, Jesus responds with compassion. Seeing the people as sheep without a shepherd, He begins to teach them. This passage holds two essential truths in tension: rest is necessary, and compassion is necessary. Jesus models both. He invites His followers to receive rest and teaches them how to respond graciously when life doesn't go according to plan. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why Jesus prioritizes rest for His disciples • The spiritual danger of constantly running on empty • How rest becomes an act of trust and obedience • What Jesus teaches us about interruptions and compassion • A simple practice for embracing genuine rest today Scripture Mark 6:30–34 (NLT) Reflection Question Am I regularly accepting Jesus' invitation to come away and rest—or have I been running on empty, giving what I no longer have to give? Today's Spiritual Practice Protect one genuine period of rest today. Not scrolling. Not multitasking. Not productive resting. Simply rest with Jesus. Before you begin, pray: “Jesus, I accept Your invitation. I come away with You now. Restore what the busyness has taken. Fill what has been emptied. I receive this rest as a gift from You—and I trust You with everything I'm setting down to take it.” If this episode encourages you, share it with one person today and help more people discover the peace, presence, and rest that Jesus offers.

Sabbath rest is far greater than a day off from our busyness. It is a deep, internal rest found in Jesus that transforms our hearts, redirects our identity away from work and striving, and invites us to experience the ongoing rest He offers every day.

Are you running your "human hardware" into the ground? In a culture that glorifies "The Grind," we've been conditioned to believe that a 168-hour work week is the badge of a high-achiever. But biologically, your body is keeping a different score. In this episode of 2KK Uncensored, we're breaking down the science of why your "Cortisol Gauge" is pinned in the red and how constant sympathetic overdrive is sabotaging your longevity. We dive deep into the concept of The Reset—a dedicated, non-negotiable 24-hour period of parasympathetic recovery. This isn't just about taking a nap; it's about a deliberate "Sabbath Rest" designed to repair your internal systems, lower systemic stress, and ensure you're actually around to enjoy the results of your hard work. In this episode, we discuss: The Sympathetic Trap: Why staying in "fight or flight" mode 24/7 is a recipe for physical hardware failure. The Cortisol Gauge: How to recognize when your internal stress levels are reaching the breaking point. The 24-Hour Reset: The biological necessity of stepping away from the grind to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system. Longevity vs. Hustle: Why the most productive thing you can do for your career and health is absolutely nothing for one full day. Stop redlining your engine and learn how to restore your hardware for the long haul.

Sabbath rest carries four key truths: God's warnings against a hardened heart and drifting into unbelief, the consequences of rebellion against His rest, the open invitation to enter it today, and, to respond with persevering faith. When we take this step of obedience to rest, God will rejuvenate and refresh our health and spirit.
