Rest Isn’t Optional: Biblical Rhythms for Busy Moms with Eryn Lynum

Rest is not a reward for getting everything done—it's a rhythm God designed us to live by.

In this episode of the Simply Convivial Podcast, I talk with author and naturalist Eryn Lynum, whose new book The Nature of Rest invites us to rethink what real, God-honoring rest looks like. Eryn shares a surprising lesson from hummingbirds—yes, hummingbirds!—and how their built-in rhythms of torpor illustrate God's wisdom for our own lives as busy moms.

We talk about:
💜 How to tell the difference between real rest and idleness
💜 Practical Sabbath rhythms for your week
💜 Simple daily pauses that restore the soul
💜 And why starting from rest (like Adam!) changes everything
