EP 010: Reclaiming Rest in Hustle Culture

What if rest isn’t your enemy, but the secret ingredient your creativity and business have been begging for?

In this episode, Amy Howard explores what it truly means to rest—from a biblical perspective—and how that rest reshapes how we live, lead, and create. She wrestles with the tension between hustle and surrender, and invites you into a life built not on striving, but on trust.

You’ll hear:

• Why rest is more than slowing down—it’s spiritual posture

• The difference between a “good idea” and a “God idea” (and why that matters)

• How rest fuels creativity, not drains it

• Practical ways to shift from control to surrender in daily life

• What Hebrews 4 teaches us about entering God’s rest in our work

This episode is for you if:

• You’re an entrepreneur or creative who feels burned out

• You question whether your hustle is misaligned with God

• You want peace in your process, not just results

Takeaway Challenge of the Week: Pause before yes. Ask, “Is this a God idea or just a good idea?” Let rest—not busyness—serve your calling.
