In this episode of Faith Fueled Living, Kristin Fitch challenges the cultural and even church driven idea that busyness equals faithfulness. You will learn why Sabbath was never meant to be a reward for productivity but a starting point for a healthy, grounded life with God.

This conversation reframes rest as a gift from God, not a luxury or a weakness. Kristin walks through what Scripture actually teaches about Sabbath, why hustle culture quietly pulls us away from peace, and how choosing rest changes your spiritual life, emotional health, and daily joy.

If you are tired of running on empty and wondering what slowing down could actually give you, this episode will help you see rest in a completely new way.
