Ep 257: What to do When You Feel Restless (with Luke LeFevre)
In this episode, you will learn: Making a significant change can catalyze personal transformation, altering both physiology and mental outlook. Luke dives into his belief that feeling restless can be interpreted as a nudge from the Holy Spirit, urging individuals to wake up and make necessary changes in their lives. Just as physical exercise is crucial for bodily health, slowing down and focusing the mind through activities like journaling is essential for mental well-being. There’s no conflict between physical and spiritual health; both are vital for holistic well-being. God may use restlessness to prompt individuals toward positive change. Restlessness can be a wilderness experience, a time of formation and growth. It’s essential to discern whether to stay and learn or move toward a new direction, avoiding running away from challenges prematurely.
