In this episode of "Rhythms That Restore," Cherisse has a conversation on REST with guest & Best Selling Author Melanie Redd. Melanie shares her wisdom she has learned in her journey and as she wrote "Just Rest: A 90-Day Devotional Journey,". We discuss the vital themes of rest, simplicity, and creating space for God. We explore the challenges we all face in prioritizing rest amidst cultural pressures and the misconception that busyness equates to worthiness. Melanie shares her journey of writing over 9 books to help others grow in their personal walk with the Lord. She emphasizes the importance of mentorship, walking with friends that are ahead of you in life, in the same season and then those who are a season behind you that you can pour into through intentional living. The episode encourages listeners to embrace rest as a sacred practice essential for spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being.
