    Ep 143: Intentional Rest for Burned Out Christian Women - Pause on Purpose with Author, Candice Rockel

    High-achieving Christian women are experiencing burnout trying to do it all — but Candice Rockel reveals the simple, powerful shift that can change everything: Intentional rest. Imagine resting in God's presence as naturally as breathing — even in the middle of chaos. Candice shares her personal story of hitting the breaking point during a busy season, then discovering that true rest isn’t just a luxury — it’s a commandment. Her debut solo book, Pause on Purpose: Intentional Rest for Women, is a game-changer for women tired of striving but craving a deeper, more peaceful connection with God. In this episode, Candice and Jenny break down the biblical foundation for Sabbath, revealing how “pressing pause” can feel uncomfortable before it becomes a holy habit. Discover her practical tips for recognizing when life’s busyness is a sign you’re outside God's rhythm — and how to intentionally step into rest, even when it feels foreign. You'll also learn tools to help you serve out of abundance instead of exhaustion. You’ll hear candid insights on how women baptize their burnout, the difference between busyness for Jesus versus intimacy with Jesus, and why worth isn’t linked to productivity. Candice emphasizes that God created us for joy, rest, and relationship — not just work, stress, and overwhelm.  This conversation is a must-listen for women who want to pursue their God-given calling while embracing the peace and purpose He offers. Whether you're navigating a busy season or feeling stuck in chronic overdrive, Candice’s story and wisdom will inspire you to press pause on purpose and step into a life of divine rest. Perfect for anyone craving alignment between faith and everyday life, this episode will leave you encouraged to put aside the “shoulds,” follow God's rhythm, and delight in Him. Candice Rockel is the CEO and co-founder of Aurora Network, a four-time bestselling author, and a passionate speaker dedicated to helping women find rest in God's promises.  Press pause with purpose — and watch your soul thrive.

    Ep: 138: Holding on to Our Faith in the Midst of the Chaos

    How did the heroes of the faith maintain that faith when everything around them was going crazy? How do we?? How do we have faith over fear? Let me ask you this. Have you reasoned that He is able? Do you, like Paul, know Whom you have believed? Not do you know about Him, but do you actually know Him? I believe therein lies the secret to Rock-solid faith! To a faith that can withstand the chaos of our present moment and fight the pull of worldwide unrest which threatens to invade our homes and our sanity. This episode is jam-packed with Scripture to helpyou set your mind and keep it set on the things above. It’s time to stand on what we know regardless of how we feel!   Get all the Scripture references mentioned in this episode: https://jennyzentz.com/podcast138 Resources mentioned in this episode: My blog post: Run Like David: Finding the Strength to Face Your GiantsGet the FREE Printable PDF: Positive Confessions From His WordFollow on FB and IG @JennyZentz And please don’t forget to subscribe and share.
