This conversation is an invitation to move beyond intellectual understanding and into a deeper, more authentic relationship with God.About Tyler |Tyler Staton is the Lead Pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, and the National Director of 24-7 Prayer USA.

In today's episode, author, Courtney Carver and I dive into a question that feels more urgent than ever: When was the last time you gave yourself permission to pause, rest, and truly reset? In a world that tells us happiness and success come from doing more and pushing harder, many of us are left feeling like we’re never enough. But what if there’s another way? Today, we’ll explore the transformative wisdom of Courtney's new book, Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want. Courtney’s message is simple yet profound: by embracing rest, releasing what weighs us down, and redefining success, we can step into the life we truly desire—with less overwhelm and more ease.Links Discussed in This Episode |Diane's Resource: Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than PeersConnect with Courtney:InstagramBook: Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less and Live the Life You Actually WantWebsiteAbout Courtney |Courtney Carver is the founder and creator of bemorewithless.com and The Simplicity Space, a membership community supporting and celebrating people as they simplify their lives.
