We live in a world that idolizes hustle. But what if rest was actually the secret weapon?

Todd Vinson with Overlander Consulting, is back talking about rest. Not just taking a nap or getting into some good sleep habits. The kind of rest he talks about with Chris is much more.

Physical Rest restores the body. When we sleep, we heal. Muscles rebuild. Hormones balance. Clarity returns.

Emotional Rest allows us to breathe. It gives space to name what we’re feeling instead of stuffing it down or numbing it out.

Mental Rest silences the noise. It's the margin we create when we step away from screens, plans, and the need to solve every problem.

Have you ever sat across from a mentee who’s carrying the weight of worry—and you wish you had the right words or tools to help them find peace?

That’s what today’s episode is all about. At Fahrenheit: Real Life Mentoring, we love sharing practical tools that help bring real transformation. You’ve probably heard us talk about The Six Areas or My Life/My Story—and today, we’re adding another favorite to that list.

Chris and Christina are diving into A Tool for Peace, inspired by Philippians 4:6–7. It’s a simple but powerful way to help mentees recognize what’s causing anxiety in their lives—and then learn how to replace that worry with specific, peace-bringing prayer.

And if you’d like to follow along with the worksheet Christina mentions, she’d love to send you a copy! Just reach out to christina@fahrenheitmentoring.org

Jonathan Williams, founder of Be Transformed Fitness, joins Chris and Christina today as they dive into the topic of physical health.

Since Chris and Christina take a holistic approach to mentoring, Jonathan's holistic approach to physical health is a great fit and topic for discussion.

Jonathan has a vision for those he works with to feel comfortable with exercise by educating them and providing them with tools that will allow them to make exercise an active part of their lifestyle. He wants people to know that sustainable transformation takes place when the formation of your mind, body and soul is intertwined.

Be Transformed Fitness has a goal to help people walk through simple ways of exercising and learning how their body can move and in return they feel and look good and even get stronger moving towards living a healthier and better quality of life.

To find our more about how you can partner with Jonathan to help meet your physical health goals:

I met Hans Georg over 19 years ago. He was an international exchange student from Austria, and our family had the privilege of hosting him while he attended university for a semester. What started as a simple hosting relationship grew into something far deeper—a bond so strong that I came to call him my son. This is the power of mentoring.

In this episode, Chris and Christina share personal stories—and the stories of others—that will inspire, encourage, and hopefully spark your imagination. What would it look like for you to intentionally invest in a mentee’s life?

Listen as Chris and Christina unfold these powerful experiences. And if you’re curious about how you can be trained to mentor and make a lasting impact, visit fahrenheitmentoring.org.

Rob Schrader joins Chris and Christina talking about the Kingdom of God. Sound like loads of fun? It is!

Rob describes from a theological stand point what the Kingdom of God is and how it fits into mentoring. Rob takes what can be a difficult and lofty topic and presents it in simple and practical ways.

Knowing the Kingdom of God

• helps you see the bigger picture for mentoring.
• help you see your role in a better way as a mentor.
