    29. SPECIAL UPDATE | Baby Time! (Season of Rest, Psalm 23 & Trusting the Good Shepherd)

    Special Update | Entering a Season of RestAs our family prepares to welcome baby number two, Emily shares a personal update on why the Scroll + Press Podcast will be taking a short pause this summer. More than a simple announcement, this episode becomes an invitation to embrace God's definition of rest. Emily opens up about her own struggle with productivity, the temptation to tie worth to accomplishment, and how the Lord has been gently leading her through Psalm 23, John 15, and Hebrews 4. She reflects on the difference between the world's version of rest and the deep, abiding rest that Jesus offers—a rest rooted not in comfort or inactivity, but in trusting the Good Shepherd and believing His promises. If you're entering a season that feels slower than expected, whether through parenting, illness, transition, burnout, or simply God's invitation to be still, this conversation is a reminder that your identity is never found in what you produce, but in abiding with Christ.
