In episode 4 of the Preach It Sister podcast, titled "The Invitation to Rest in Christ," Ashley Forsberg guides listeners on a journey to discover the profound difference between ordinary rest and resting in Christ. She begins with a deep breathing exercise, inviting listeners to tune into their body’s need for rest as an analogy for the soul's need for spiritual rest.
Resting in Christ, as Ashley explains, goes beyond the physical act of relaxation—it's about finding peace that surpasses understanding in a busy, anxious world. Through prayer and reflective breathing, Ashley introduces a liturgical practice that may be unfamiliar to some but deeply nourishing for those seeking rest for their weary hearts and minds. She encourages a shift from mere distraction or relaxation to finding solace in God, who offers true, life-giving peace.
Ashley shares personal stories, including her experience of learning to sit in silence with God while studying in Australia and embracing scripture amidst the chaos of motherhood. She reveals that God’s invitations to rest often come in unexpected moments and different forms, whether through silence, prayer, or even art and creativity.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on how they might rest in Christ, asking God to reveal the unique practices that can guard their hearts and minds in the face of life’s stresses. This episode serves as an invitation to enter into the deep, soul-restoring peace that only Christ can provide—an unexplainable peace that carries us through life’s challenges.
