Becky, host of the Rise Up Restored podcast, begins the new year discussing the importance of rest in the middle of everything going on in life.
She reminds listeners to REST through: Release, Empty, Surrender, and Trust.
Becky then shares the “R.E.S.T Meditation” with listeners.
Becky’s Song: “Rest” by TobyMac, Terrian, Gabe Real
“Rest, take a breath. Push aside the noise and feel the air inside your chest.”
In our second special Listener Music episode, listeners' songs focus on God’s Love and awareness for each of us, self-forgiveness, strength in survival, and more!!! Listeners share how these songs have helped them in their healing journeys.
We hope you enjoy the music and gain strength from others' experiences!

Just like each one of us is different, there is no one-size-fits-all resource on your healing journey. Below are some resources that have helped us. And please check out our podcasts and posts for additional resources shared by our guests.
“Your Sexually Addicted Spouse: How Partners Can Cope and Heal” by Barbara Steffens- The best book I have found to explain what happens to your heart, mind, and body when there is betrayal trauma in a relationship. It also includes what you can do about it! Such a hopeful and powerful read!
“Boundaries” by Cloud & Townsend- I recommend this book to everyone. Boundaries are the key to healthy relationships. Marriages, parenting, friendship, work, and more. Boundaries are especially important when there is betrayal in your relationships. This book can help you learn to keep yourself safe and find more peace, no matter what the people around you choose.
“What Can I Do About Me” by Rhyll Croshaw- A great book about the journey to find healing through the trauma. Important points include: Recognizing that there is no way but through. Setting boundaries is the most loving thing I can do. Forgiveness is not the same as trust. I can’t, but He (God) can, and I will let Him. Having gratitude in the present moment. Self-care is His care. And more!
“The Heart of a Woman” retreat- Heart of a Woman retreat takes place spring and fall each year. This is a powerful retreat that helps you reconnect with God, be reminded of who you truly are, and take some time away too recharge. https://theheartofawoman.net/
