In this episode of the CityRev Life Podcast, host Angelica Barros welcomes Rebekah Barnes to continue the At Rest series with a conversation about creating healthy, God-honoring boundaries. Together, they explore why God established Sabbath, the modern-day “taskmasters” that keep us constantly striving, and how intentional boundaries help us protect what matters most.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to always be productive, this episode will encourage you to slow down, embrace God’s design for rest, and discover the freedom that comes from living with intentional rhythms. Whether you’re leading at work, serving in ministry, or caring for your family, you’ll be reminded that true rest isn’t found in doing less—it’s found in abiding more deeply with Jesus.

How do you lead with excellence without letting your work define you? In Episode 5 of the At Rest podcast, host Angelica Barros sits down with Michelle Shirley, CEO and Chief Heart Officer of Be Strong International, to explore what it means to experience true rest in the marketplace. As a leader overseeing a thriving nonprofit, Michelle shares the challenges of carrying significant responsibility while remaining anchored in her identity in Christ. Together, they discuss why rest is more than taking a vacation, how to keep God at the center in seasons of constant demands, and the importance of leading from a place of peace rather than pressure. Through practical wisdom and honest stories from the front lines of leadership, this conversation will encourage anyone navigating work, business, ministry, or leadership to find lasting rest that isn’t dependent on their performance. Whether you’re leading a team, building a career, or simply trying to balance the demands of everyday life, this episode will remind you that your identity is found in Christ—not in your title, your accomplishments, or your productivity.

Money is one of the biggest sources of stress in our lives—but what if financial peace isn’t determined by the size of your bank account?

In this episode of At Rest, Pastor Robey Barnes sits down with financial advisor, author, and podcast host Elizabeth Brickman to explore the deeper roots of financial anxiety and the surprising truth that financial unrest affects people at every income level. Drawing from decades of experience helping individuals and families navigate their finances, Elizabeth shares how fear, scarcity, comparison, and “what if” thinking can quietly shape our relationship with money—and how Scripture offers a better way.

Together, they discuss four biblical foundations for financial peace, practical steps to break free from financial fear, and how true financial rest begins not with more money, but with greater trust in God. Whether you’re facing financial challenges or experiencing financial success, this conversation will encourage you to move from anxiety and striving toward contentment, generosity, and lasting peace.
