What if the starting point of God’s story in your life isn’t striving—but rest?In this powerful episode of First Love, Dr. Robyn and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue the journey of reclaiming God’s story by revealing a truth that confronts our performance-driven faith: God always creates from rest, not exhaustion. Building on last week’s conversation about moving from living for purpose to living from purpose, this episode uncovers how rest establishes trust, restores intimacy, and realigns us with God’s goodness.You’ll discover why rest is not inactivity but a posture of faith, why dominion flows from stillness, and how Sabbath thinking anchors our identity in God’s finished work—not our effort. From the Garden to neuroscience to Scripture, this teaching invites you out of self-driven labor and back into God’s divine rhythm.This is a call to stop trying to finish yourself—and to return to your first love, not as spiritual infants, but as sons and daughters growing into mature love, rooted in trust, communion, and rest in Him.
