Feeling weighed down by everything happening in the world? You're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing how to recognize and overcome the spirit of heaviness that can make life feel overwhelming. Here's the truth I want you to know: we were never meant to carry it all. I'm starting with a simple story about grocery shopping with my son that revealed a profound spiritual principle that changed my perspective on everything. I'm diving into the reality of spiritual warfare and the heaviness that comes from trying to bear burdens we weren't designed to carry. I'll show you how Isaiah 61:3 promises us a "garment of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness" - and how to actually walk in that freedom. Listen in to discover: Why heaviness is actually a spiritual attack, not just emotions The difference between healthy grieving and the spirit of heaviness How to take authority over oppressive spirits through the Holy Spirit's power Why your words matter so much (life and death are in the power of the tongue) Practical ways I've learned to shift the atmosphere through praise and worship Moving from victim to victor mentality in your spiritual walk Free Resource: 8 Powerful Declarations to Speak Over Your Children Download at https://revivalmomprays.com/ Join the 12-Week Revival Mom Rising Experience Transform your home and your heart through the holiday season and into the new year.

When Moses Grew Weary, They Lifted His Hands: Scripture Reflection for October 19, 2025 by Priests for Life

Come As You Are Series - Come All Who Are WearyMatthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”This is not the verse I was planning to talk to you about today, but after the night I just had, I am hoping that the Holy Spirit will talk to me as He talks to you tonight.  I remember hearing a teaching on this verse once, where they explained why farmers would use a yoke.  A yoke is a wooden crosspiece that is fastened around the neck of two animals and then usually hooked to a plow or a cart.  This yoke allows them to pull loads that they would not normally be able to pull on their own.  I think I also remember the person explaining that a younger animal is usually paired with a more experienced animal.  This way, the more experienced animal can set the pace and teach the younger one.  This seems to fit so perfectly with this verse.  The Lord is calling us, all who are weary and carrying heavy burdens.  I don't know about you, but this evening I am feeling pretty weary, and my burdens are feeling pretty heavy.  The Lord is calling us, and it says He will give us rest.  God is calling us to take up His yoke and to learn from Him.  That is such a great visual for me.  I got an image of this giant wooden yoke on the ground.  I go up and put my head in it, and God puts His head in, and my burdens are suddenly weightless.  I wish it were that simple.  I wish we could just hand God our troubles, and then we would feel this enormous weight off our shoulders instantly.  I think it can be this simple sometimes.  I think we get in our own way sometimes.  We want to hand our problems over to God, and yet we also want to hold on to them.  We don't want to completely release them, because then we wouldn't be in control anymore.  Have you heard of the expression, “Hitch your wagon to the right cart?” or “Don't hitch your wagon to the wrong horse?”  Both of these came to my mind when I started talking about what a yoke meant.  I was thinking that if I had my choice of anyone to hook my yoke to, it would be the Lord.  There is no one else that I would rather rely on and no one more powerful.  I love the idea of taking His yoke and learning from Him.  The Lord has so much to teach us. Even in this verse, He says, “I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul.”  How awesome would it be to find rest in your soul?  Can you imagine what that would feel like?  When I imagine rest in my soul, I imagine peace about all things in life.  I imagine I am stress-free and have no anxiety.  I imagine I am filled with hope and joy.  I really feel as though the Holy Spirit is reminding me of Rick Warren's definition of joy and wanting me to share it.  I have talked about it before, but right now I feel the Holy Spirit telling me that I am not the only one who needs this refresher right now.  Rick Warren's definition of joy is as follows: “Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life, the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be alright, and the determined choice to praise God in every situation.” Wow, yes, I did need to hear that tonight.  For me tonight, this is a reminder that joy doesn't mean I am always happy about everything.  This to me means that it is ok that I am sad tonight about things going on, and that doesn't mean that the situation has taken away my joy.  I do know that God is in control of all the details of my life.  I am sure of it.  I am grateful for it because He does a much better job than I could do.When I think about it, truly think about it, I do have a quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be alright.  Does that mean that I know how it is all going to turn out? No, no at all. Does that mean that I know when it will get better?  Nope, I don't know that either.  However,  I do know that eventually everything is going to be ok.  Will it be exactly as I wish it would be, probably not.  But that is ok, because God's plan is better than my plan and His ways are higher than my ways.  The last part of this definition is the part that we forget about a lot.  It says, “the determined choice to praise God in every situation.”  Wow, that is not something I always think of.  Then, even when I do think of it, I don't always want to do it.  For instance, tonight was a rough night.  Do I want to praise God for tonight?  Not really?  This is where I think we get confused.  We think that praising God is about thanking Him for the situation we are in.  There are many ways to praise God without thanking Him for the specific situation.For instance, even though it was a rough night, I am thankful that I have kids to argue with.  Some people don't, and I realize that even when parenting them is difficult, I am still blessed beyond measure that I have them.  I am grateful to the Lord for giving me amazing friends.  Friends who dropped everything they were doing to say a quick prayer just because I said I needed some.  If it wasn't for the argument tonight, I wouldn't have had the amazing gift of peace that I felt immediately after they prayed.  That is something that I am not sure I have felt before.  I have heard people say that I felt your prayers, and I always thought that was nice, but I didn't truly understand what they meant until this evening.  Not even 5 minutes after I asked my friends for prayers, this immediate sense of peace came over me.  That is definitely something to praise the Lord for.  We can also praise the Lord for being amazing.  He does so much for us, and even if we don't want to praise Him for the current circumstances, we can praise Him for being awesome and for the amazing outcome that we know He is working on as we speak.  In all the books about miracles and faith, the authors always talk about how important praise is.  I think this could be the secret ingredient that many of us are missing.  How often do we praise the Lord?  I mean, truly spend time thanking the Lord for all He does and praise Him for being our almighty Lord and Savior?  What if we all tried to praise Him more this week and see how much better our week goes?  When you start to feel down or get in a bad mood, think of 10 things you are grateful to God for.  The bible verse Luke 16:10 came to mind just now.  The verse says, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”  If we appreciate what we have and praise the Lord for it, God will entrust us with more.  What if the Lord is waiting for us to be grateful in our current circumstances before He moves us out of them?  Can we spend just 5 minutes today praising the Lord?  When I am finished with this episode, I am going to listen to 5 minutes of praise and worship music.  That is another great way to praise the Lord.  If you can't think of anything to say, you can always just listen to music.  I have heard many people say that singing is praying twice.  So if you feel as though you just don't know what to say, sing a song; they have amazing songs out there that say all the things you want to say.  Remember, all of us who are weary and those of us carrying heavy burdens, come to the Lord and we will find rest.  Take up His yoke and let Him help you carry your load.  Wouldn't it be so much easier if you weren't the only one carrying it all?  You are not alone.  God is there, He is offering you His yoke, reach down and pick it up!  Through the Lord, we can find rest for our souls.  Whose soul could use a little rest?  I know mine could.  How about yours?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that You bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, the devil is having a heyday with our families, and we ask that you intercede for us. We ask that you show us how to kick him out of our lives once and for all.  Lord, we ask for your protection over our families and give us the strength to keep fighting another day.  Lord, we love you so much, you are so very amazing!!  You have given us all so much, and we are so very grateful.  Lord, we ask that you fill us with your love, peace, and joy.  I ask that you wrap your arms around each person listening to this today and give them a squeeze.  Help them to feel your love a little extra this week, Lord.  I sense that I am not the only one who needs this week, Lord.  We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.  Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I am so grateful to have you here. I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow.

In this episode of the Home School Dads series, David Nunnery is joined by Davis Carman, president of Apologia Educational Ministries, to tackle the essential role of a dad in the homeschool journey: encouraging and supporting his wife. Davis shares profound insights and actionable advice for husbands who want to move past feeling "lost" and become proactive leaders. This conversation is key for every dad committed to discipling his kids, strengthening his marriage, and fostering a confident, peaceful homeschool environment. Men's Challenge: Pay close attention to your wife's day without jumping in to solve problems. Observe her routines, listen to her tone of voice, and notice the moments she seems weary or overwhelmed. Based on your observations, choose one tangible, non-academic task to take off her plate for the entire week. This could be anything from handling all the evening clean-up to packing co-op lunches or managing the kids' bedtime routine. Make it your responsibility, and do it with a cheerful attitude. Key Takeaways: Own the Responsibility, Not Just the Workload: The wife carries the bulk of the day-to-day workload, but the husband must carry 100% of the responsibility for the family's mission and direction to prevent burnout. Create a Family Mission Statement: Dads should sit down with their wives and proactively develop a clear mission statement or "Elevator Speech" for why they homeschool. This acts as a compass when the school year gets difficult. The Three R's of Homeschooling: Prioritize Relationships (God, spouse, siblings), Reasoning (critical thinking), and Resolve (discovering God's calling) over mere academics. Be the Defender and File Keeper: The husband should be the one to defend the homeschooling decision to critics (friends, family, in-laws) and handle the administrative duties (knowing state laws, keeping records, standardized testing sign-ups). Provide a Weekly Planning Retreat: A practical way to support Mom is to take the kids for a consistent 2-4 hour block (like a Sunday evening) so she can leave the house, decompress, and plan the week. This boosts her confidence significantly. Never Ask "What Did You Do All Day?": When re-engaging with the family after work, do not question her productivity. Instead, immediately engage by asking the kids what they learned and taking the leadership role (the "captain is home"). Lead Family Worship/Discipleship: Use the dinner table or bedtime as a "Deuteronomy 6 moment" for asking spiritual questions, having conversations, and leading family worship.

You've finally landed after a long flight — exhausted, running on little sleep, and feeling the weight of jet lag. And yet, there's that familiar pressure to power through and make the most of your first day. I've certainly been known to “power through” the exhaustion on a trip, and I've even been known to tell my clients to do just that. But in this episode, I'm sharing a different perspective — one that gives you permission to honor your exhaustion, pay attention to your energy, and approach your trip in a way that actually makes the rest of it more enjoyable.

Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28. Our world is wired for stress, for activity, not for being sedentary.  When we live in a chronic state of stress, we feel exhausted and stuck.  What does it mean to simply rest and be beloved by God and know how to rest in Christ!? Jenny's guest shares how stress affects us and offers practical ways to decompress and focus on our inner self.  Anna Christine (A.C.) Seiple,  is a Licensed Counselor and Author of The Sacred Art of Slowing Down;  Find Relief from Rushed Living, Soothe Your Soul, and Restore Wholeness Within. She reminds us we are human beings, not “doing beings!” With all going on in our lives and the world, is it any wonder we are stressed?! Seiple encourages us to make deliberate decisions to tune in to what's happening in our bodies because this also impacts our spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing. We constantly move through a mixture of emotions in life—everything from fear, joy, pain, surprise, grief, rest, and panic” says Seiple. “These can overwhelm us. Freeze us. We can't stop the complexities of life from being messy.” But, we can make some changes! You can get connected with Anna at her website acseiple.com  and you can find more about her book. Her book is available at bookstores, Target and online.

We have such an inadequate understanding of our sin and a far worse understanding of God'sholiness.  It feels like God's judgment on humanity and the creation was severe, but that's because we are too focused on an enlarged view of ourselves. Indeed, death will come to all despite our toil and anguish in a weary, windy world that continues ever onward. Listen to Pastor Brett's sermon on Ecclesiastes 1:3-18 for more.

How to be a Good Dog Learning to Sit, Stay, and Heal By Phyllis Coletta Howtobeagooddog.com https://store.bookbaby.com/book/how-to-be-a-good-dog Overview "How to Be a Good Dog: Learning to Sit, Stay, and Heal" is a field manual for people who want to stop the madness in their minds. Learning to meditate is like taking a wild puppy — you know, the one eating socks and ripping up the couch in your brain—and transforming it into a faithful, reliable companion. Written for anyone tired of their mental chaos, (like a 40-year-old mom with kids), this is a meditation guide that uses the "F" word with impunity and does not sanction mysterious mantras, mudras, or hemp clothing. The book is for anyone worn down by the endlessly judgmental, negative commentator residing between their ears. Weary of the inner noise? Readers are guaranteed to laugh, relax, and learn how to find their mental alpha dog and train that unruly pup to sit, stay, and heal. Description "How to Be a Good Dog: Learning to Sit, Stay, and Heal" is a field manual for people who want to stop the madness in their minds. Learning to meditate is about taking that wild puppy in your mind— you know, the one eating socks and ripping up the couch—and transforming it into a reliable companion. While meditation may seem simple, it is no easy feat. Training your puppy mind requires discipline, courage, and the willingness to be quiet. No phones, kids, co-workers, or partners—meditation is the bravest solo trek you'll ever take. When you train your mind to sit, stay, and heal, you open your mind to a powerful force you never knew you had. Your mind will respond to every blow, joy, and sorrow with willingness, humor, and peace. Once your mind is a good dog, there is no going back to the chaos of puppyhood. If you want to heal the world, you must begin with yourself. Your healing will radiate out to your family, loved ones, and communities. Train your mind through meditation, and life will become a walk in the park. About The Author Phyllis Coletta is the fourth of six children in a loud, loving Italian family from Philadelphia. A single mom of three boys, Phyllis was a litigation attorney, so her soul withered for over a decade. Three days after her youngest son graduated high school, she quit her job, sold her house, and gave away most of her stuff. At 48, with everything she needed in her Honda CRV, Phyllis headed to Colorado to be a cowgirl. She has also been a high school teacher, EMT, ski bum, and writer. As an ordained Zen Buddhist chaplain, Phyllis worked as a hospital/hospice chaplain. After her adventures in Colorado, Phyllis lives mostly barefoot at the Jersey shore where she raised her boys.

We often admire strength and resilience in others while doubting we have it ourselves. But here's the truth: strength doesn't always look bold and unshakable, and resilience doesn't always feel like bouncing back quickly. Most of the time, this actually looks a lot more like exhaustion, baby steps forward, and continuing to show up.In this episode, we'll rethink what it really means to be a woman of strength and resilience. From identifying with (or bawling through) Luisa's “Surface Pressure” song in Encanto to the practice of keeping a simple “ta-da list,” you'll discover that you're already stronger than you think. And when your own capacity feels like it's run out, God's Word reminds us that His strength shows up in our weakness.Episode HighlightsHow we view strength and resilience in others vs what it actually looks likePractical ways to identify and validate your own strength and resilience in daily lifeThe value of showing up rather than looking tough2 Corinthians 12:9 - “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Resources MentionedGive Yourself Credit - You Do a Lot! - “Ta-Da” List Journal Shop all Merciful Mornings journalsListen to “Surface Pressure” from EncantoRelated Episodes You Might Also LikeEP 3 - Encouragement for the Woman Who is Drowning in OverwhelmEP 18 - Giving Yourself Grace Through Seasons of LifeEP 21 - 5 Tips to Keep Going and Never Give UpEP 39 - The Source of Empowerment with Becky BeresfordEP 59 - Rethinking the Proverbs 31 Woman: Inspiration, Not ExpectationEP 64 - Letting Go Isn't Giving Up: The Faithful Fight Against Anxiety with Nichole SuvarConnect with RachelWebsite: racheldbaker.comInstagram: @rachel.d.baker Email: rachel@racheldbaker.comIt means so much to me that you are part of this community!

Matthew 11:21-30 - True Rest for the Weary | Kingdom Come Bible Study Part 21 by Tim Hatch

“Sheep that from the fold did stray No true shepherd e'er forsaketh; Weary souls that lost their way Christ, the Shepherd, gently taketh In His arms that they may live. Jesus sinners doth receive. “I, a sinner, come to Thee With a penitent confession. Savior, mercy show to me; Grant for all my sins remission. Let these words my soul relieve: Jesus, sinners doth receive.”
