In this episode of Unwrapping Rest, we reflect on the biblical meaning of Ebenezer from 1 Samuel 7—a stone of remembrance that testified, “Till now, the Lord has helped us.” Before moving forward, Scripture invites us to pause, look back, and remember God’s faithfulness.

If you’re feeling weary or reflective, this quiet episode offers space to give thanks and renew your trust in the God who has carried you this far.

13. When Waiting on God Is Really Fear | Peace Won’t Always Come Before the Step

Tired of trying so hard to be okay?
You're not alone.
Unwrapping Rest is for the Christian woman who loves Jesus but feels weary from perfectionism, overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list, and ready to trade striving for the lasting rest only Christ can give.
Each week, author and podcaster Dawn Tolbert shares honest stories, biblical encouragement, and practical ways to help you step off the treadmill of performance and into a deeper relationship with Jesus. Together, we'll explore what it means to trust God in hard seasons, surrender the pressure to have it all together, find hope that doesn't depend on circumstances, and discover the peace that comes from resting—not striving.
If you're faithful... and tired... this podcast is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember that you don't have to earn God's love. You are invited to receive it.
Hosted by Dawn Tolbert, author of I'd Rather Die Than Obey: Trusting God Even When It Hurts, Unwrapping Rest offers Scripture-centered encouragement for women who long to exchange burnout for biblical hope, peace, and rest.
