The Hidden Weight of Expectations: How Jesus Offers Rest for Weary Christian Women
EPISODE 79
Many women feel exhausted because they are carrying more than they were ever meant to hold. In this episode, we explore how expectations quietly shape our decisions, fuel striving, and pull us away from trust, often without us realizing it. Through Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11, we learn how surrendering expectations is not about escaping responsibility, but about exchanging heavy burdens for a way of obedience that leads to life and rest for the soul.
