When was the last time you truly listened to your body? In this episode of the Broken & Beautiful Podcast, we explore how caring for your physical health is more than self-care—it’s a sacred act of worship. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, which reminds us that “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit,” this conversation challenges the lie that rest must be earned.

Stephanie Feger and Shannon Carroll of the Broken & Beautiful Podcast dig into the real connection between physical rest and spiritual well-being—from the need for sleep and slowing down to recognizing the warning signs of physical exhaustion before burnout sets in. This episode is an invitation to stop pushing past your limits and start seeing rest as stewardship—a way of honoring the body God has entrusted to you.
