This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with national speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host Rebekah Lyons to explore why rest is not optional—it’s sacred.

Rebekah opens up about her journey through panic disorder, motherhood, adoption, and faith, sharing how God used rest to teach her that our worth isn’t found in productivity. Together they unpack the biblical roots of Sabbath, the connection between rest and resilience, and how dependence on God—not control—leads to lasting peace.

She also breaks down her life-changing framework from Rhythms of Renewal, built on four pillars: Rest, Restore, Connect, and Create—offering a practical roadmap for trading stress and anxiety for a life of peace and purpose.

You’ll learn how to slow down without losing momentum, how to discern between control and surrender, and why obedience—not hustle—always precedes blessing.
