Welcome back to another FRIENDSHIP FRIDAY!
This week’s episode is your permission slip to stop.
To pause.
To breathe.
To rest… without guilt.
We explore the sacredness of rest and the power of patience, not just as spiritual concepts but as real-life tools to help you grow, create, and love more intentionally.
🛑 What We’re Talking About This Week:
Why rest is a principle, not a punishment
How hustle culture has warped our self-worth
What it means when God makes you lie down (Psalm 23 style)
How patience connects to maturity, creativity, and healthy friendships
The difference between diligence and burnout
And the simple truth: you don’t have to rush what’s meant
💭 “You can’t hack friendship. You can’t hack your purpose. You have to build both — with rest, patience, and presence.”
🎨 Artist Corner: “Investing in Rest”
This week, Tarrah takes us to church and back with a reflection on what it means to intentionally rest. We unpack how rest is not a reward for performance — it's a requirement for purpose.
Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, student, or soul just trying to survive, this episode will remind you that it’s okay to rest. In fact, it’s necessary.
✍🏽 Study Guide / Homework Assignment:
This week’s challenge is all about reflecting on how you handle time and pressure.
📝 Assignment:
Write down the last thing you executed — a meal, a project, a hobby, or a task.
How long did it take?
Did you feel rushed? Why?
If you had more time or patience, how might the outcome have changed?
Let this be your moment to see where rest could have made room for better.

Thanks for joining us for another #FriendshipFriday.
Take your rest seriously.
Be patient with your process.
And know that if God’s making you lie down…
it’s probably because you really need it.
Peace,
Christan & Tarrah
