Are You at Capacity?

Let’s talk about why so many of us struggle to truly rest. In this episode, Vanessa Hartsell opens up about taking a five-week sabbatical during a season of burnout, ministry pressure, family challenges, and deep discouragement. Vanessa shares how God used intentional Sabbath rhythms, biblical truth, and even unexpected passages about chaos and God’s sovereignty to reshape her understanding of rest. This conversation explores why rest is not laziness but an act of trust and worship, and how creating intentional rhythms can help sustain your soul in the middle of a demanding life.
