Trading Stress & Anxiety for God's Peace: Kerstin Lindquist & Kara Stout | Jesus Calling Podcast

We're talking about finding true rest when life feels like a storm in this week's episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by stress, grief, or the pressure to keep going, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Our first guest, author and health coach Kerstin Lindquist, pulls back the curtain on her private journey through infertility, caregiving, and loss. She shares how these trials led her to understand the deep connection between stress and our physical health, revealing how embracing God’s call to rest, instead of society's push to hustle, can truly change everything.

The theme of finding peace continues with writer and mother Kara Stout, who shares her own powerful story of grieving her parents while walking through a difficult season of infertility before adopting her daughter. Kara offers a beautiful perspective on seeing anxiety as a "check engine" light from God, a signal to slow down and seek his presence through simplicity and stillness.
Whether you're feeling burned out, walking through a season of waiting, or simply need to be reminded of God’s nearness, this episode will gently guide you towards his peace.
