102. Learning to Rest Well

Join the podcast this week as Addison (Addie) Ott reflects on what it means to truly learn how to rest well. Through personal stories, practical rhythms, and conversations around Sabbath, Addie shares how slowing down can help us reconnect with God, pay attention to what matters most, and live with greater intentionality in a fast-paced world. Whether you’re entering a busy season, craving deeper rest, or simply learning how to balance work, faith, and everyday life, this episode offers encouragement to embrace rest as a gift rather than something you have to earn. Addie hopes this conversation reminds you that God can do more with our surrendered rest than we often can through endless striving, and that learning to rest well is part of learning to trust Him more deeply. – Links to the things we talked about today – ⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌿 Join The Gentle Recap email: ⁠⁠⁠gentleandlowly.co/the-gentle-recap⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.gentleandlowly.co/the-gentle-recap] 🤠 Visit Our Website: ⁠⁠⁠gentleandlowly.co/podcast [https://gentleandlowly.co/podcast] ⁠⁠⁠ 🛍️ New Christian T-Shirt Every Week! | ⁠⁠⁠shop.gentleandlowly.co⁠⁠⁠ [https://shop.gentleandlowly.co/] Addie's Music of the Week: Ben Rector & Jon McLaughlin LIVE at the Indianapolis Symphony "Old Friends" by Ben Rector "Extraordinary Magic" by Ben Rector "The Men That Drive Me Places" by Ben Rector "Changing" by Jon McLaughlin "Let the Ground Rest" by Chris Renzema Music of the Week Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/533eRJVljDqFi7QWqDEqoP?si=9ae9e327cddc48d8⁠ [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/533eRJVljDqFi7QWqDEqoP?si=9ae9e327cddc48d8⁠] – Let's be friends! ☻ – Addie's Instagram⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@addie.ott [http://instagram.com/addie.ott] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Addie's Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠@AddisonOtt [https://www.facebook.com/addisonott]⁠⁠⁠ Our Community Instagram: @gentleandlowly.co [https://instagram.com/gentleandlowly.co] Podcast Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@gentleandlowly.co.pod [https://instagram.com/gentleandlowly.co.pod]⁠⁠⁠⁠ For additional resources, visit ⁠⁠⁠gentleandlowly.co ⁠⁠⁠ #gentleandlowlycopodcast #carryingjesuslove Made with Love from Indiana ♥

He is not in such a hurry as we are, and it is not his way to give more light on the future than we need for action in the present, or to guide us more than one step at a time. When in doubt, do nothing, but continue to wait on God. When action is needed, light will come." – J.I.

98. Living a Purposeful Life (with Courtney Jones)

Join the podcast this week as Addison Ott and Courtney Jones reflect on what it truly means to live a purposeful life with Jesus. Courtney and Addie explore how purpose isn’t always about big, visible moments, but often about faithful hearts stewarding the gifts, opportunities, and relationships God has placed right in front of us. Through thoughtful conversation and personal stories, they unpack what it looks like to live intentionally, remain available to God, and find meaning in the everyday rhythms of life.
