140: "Me-Time" and the Gospel (Lies Moms Believe Series #5) with Rebekah Hargraves (Solo Episode 19)
On today’s solo podcast episode, I am continuing the podcast series based on my book, Lies Moms Believe (And How the Gospel Refutes Them) with a chat all about the concept of "me-time" from a biblical perspective. What I Chat about in Today’s Episode: ~The next 2 lies covered in my book: 13. I'm Selfish if I have any "me-time". 14. I need a lot of "me-time". ~How Jesus' own example refutes both of these lies ~The reality that Jesus did not meet every need, answer every question, or heal every infirmity; in several instances He sent away the multitudes in order to spend time alone with the Father; the implications of this example for us as busy moms ~Practical ways to make me-time a reality in your life ~The importance of looking to the Lord and the living water He offers for true, lasting refreshment, as opposed to always looking to the non-lasting refreshment other pursuits bring ~Balance in all things; enjoying the good gifts the Father gives (gifts of alone time, good coffee, a favorite show, etc.) while all the while keeping first things first and ultimately finding our strength in and allegiance to Christ ~How God, throughout Scripture, prioritizes and points to the importance of rest ~Reframing our view of our children, God, and our everyday circumstances in order to keep from thinking we need as much "me-time" as we can possibly get ~God's Word specifically, and our relationship with the Lord in general, being what equips us for the long days of mothering ~And more!
