The Truth About Your Hustle, When God Offers Rest {Lindsay Schott}

Are you a perfectionist? Do you run yourself ragged with your work, or your ministry? And have you asked yourself why? 

Now, I've often asked, "Why am I so tired?" But I think a better question is: "Why am I driving myself to exhaustion?" 

I have to admit, this was the episode in this series I was secretly least excited about. Not because of my guest; Lindsay Schott is one that I was most excited to have return. But this idea of rest, and giving up a day of work? That doesn't really light my fire.

But after having the conversation, I realized it was the one I most needed. I think you're going to find answers that you didn't even realize you were looking for—partly because you don't even realize how much the world is demanding hustle. It's everywhere! This idea that you have to max out your potential and use your opportunities. You have to push yourself and work. Yet what is God saying about our hustle?
