Are you doing all the “right” spiritual things…and still running on empty? In this power-packed message, Dr. Monique Flemings confronts the treadmill of performance-based faith—what she calls restless religion—and invites us to step off the grind and into Spirit-led rest. Rooted in Luke 13:10–17, where Jesus frees a woman who had been bent over for 18 years on the Sabbath, Dr. Monique shows how legalistic rule-keeping can blind us to the heart of God and block someone else's breakthrough. When protecting tradition becomes more important than celebrating transformation, we've missed the point. She unpacks seven types of rest, drawing from the “Sacred Rest” framework to help weary believers diagnose why they're depleted beyond “just needing a nap.” Physical, mental, emotional, social, creative, spiritual (alignment!), and more—God cares about all of you. Burnout, she teaches, doesn't only come from doing too much—it comes from misalignment: serving in ways disconnected from your God-given purpose. Even vacations can't fix what the daily rhythms of real rest were meant to restore. So, what is restless religion? Activity without progress; motion without meaning; service fueled by fear of disappointing God rather than love for Him. If that's you—exhale. Jesus came to set you free. Dr. Monique warns how religious legalism elevates form over freedom and ritual over relationship, and how it can keep us from rejoicing when the bound are set free right in front of us. True rest flows from alignment with the heart of God, not flawless performance. Our faith must be rooted in His presence, not our checklists. Hear a healing call from Jesus: “Come to Me… and I will give you rest… you will find rest for your souls.” Lay down guilt-driven religion and receive the gentle yoke that lifts, restores, and renews. In This Episode You'll Discover:How Sabbath got weaponized in Luke 13—and what Jesus corrected. Why checking church boxes without heart connection drains you. Practical lenses to diagnose your rest deficits (7 types!). Signs you're stuck in performance mode—and how to step into grace. Listen, breathe, and receive. If you've been faithful but fatigued, this message is your invitation to stop striving and start resting with Jesus.Subscribe, rate, and share this episode to encourage someone who's running on empty.

When I heard Dr. Saundra Dalton - Smith was releasing a new book, I knew I had to have her on the show again.I interviewed Dr. Saundra in 2020. We chatted about her book Sacred Rest, which has impacted me in many ways. Check out episode 28: Rest = Restoration to listen to our conversation.In this interview, Dr. Saundra and I are chatting about her new book: "Being Fully Known: The Joyful Satisfaction of Beholding, Becoming and Belonging."The basis for this book is Psalm 46:10, which reads, "Be still, and know that I am God." While most believers are familiar with this verse, Dr. Saundra expands upon it:"On the surface, this verse sounds like an invitation to rest. Underneath flows a depth that rivals the ocean. It's the DNA of a deeper relationship. It's a call to fully understand who God is and who we become because of Him."Other notable quotes:"I can only rest at the level of my trust.""The longer I gaze at Him, the freer I become. You become what you behold.""Our creative God has hidden treasures inside each earthen vessel. Most of us have only begun to scratch the surface of what God has deposited within us.""It's in belonging that you see where you have been graced and favored by God intentionally and strategically. The pieces of your life come into alignment with your circumstances to usher in the full realization that Christ in you is enough."I highly recommend Dr. Saundra's book, "Being Fully Known: The Joyful Satisfaction of Beholding, Becoming and Belonging."

Stephanie explores with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith the intricacies of identity, rest, and spiritual fulfillment. According to a recent article from CNBC, Americans have been taught that our work is the single most important way to prove our worth. In essence, what we do has been heralded as far more important that who we are. No matter our life stage -student, graduate, adult, parent, or retiree – the message has been communicated (and received) that we need to perform in order to matter. Researchers assert that this mindset is making us miserable and induces high rates of depression, shame, and substance abuse. Dr. Dalton-Smith debunks the myth of "having it all," emphasizing the importance of finding rest in the journey, rather than aiming to relentlessly complete life's tasks. She shares her personal journey of relinquishing control, choosing instead to trust and obey God, which allowed her to embrace her identity beyond societal roles and accomplishments. Scripture reveals aspects of God that illuminate parts of ourselves and encourages a journey of becoming aware of these divine connections. Through her book "Being Fully Known," Dr Saundra invites us to behold God's character, becoming aware of His presence within us, and belonging in a way that uniquely reflects His image. Stephanie and Dr. Dalton-Smith explore the joy of embracing life's mysteries, moving through cycles represented by fields of suffering, surrendering, stretching, and soaring. These fields reflect the dynamic, non-linear nature of spiritual growth, grounded in God's character rather than worldly achievements. Embracing such cycles and living in obedient surrender will lead to deeper rest and fulfillment. Dr. Dalton-Smith proposes the "abide-act" framework—a cyclical practice involving periods of resting in God's presence, followed by active steps based on what He reveals. This approach invites us to pursue our unique, God-given path without succumbing to societal pressures or predefined identities. This approach allows us to discover God's limitless creativity in crafting our journeys. Through personal anecdotes, Dr. Dalton-Smith exemplifies how past pain and experiences are redeemed to fulfill God's purposes, turning them into sacred work that doesn't feel burdensome, but life-giving instead. Dr Saundra encourages believers to redefine success and fulfillment through a biblical lens, fostering a cycle of beholding, becoming, and belonging that transcends linear progression and celebrates divine rest and purpose.
