2026 Weekly Series -The Gift Of Sacred Rest: Seasons

The Gift of Sacred Rest – Seasons is my 2026 year-long, 90-second series created to help women realign with God’s rhythm of rest, one gentle pause at a time. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by the sacred flow of each season, every weekly reflection offers a moment of stillness, renewal, and spiritual grounding.

In just 90 seconds each week, I'll weave together biblical wisdom, Christian contemplative practices, and simple invitations to rest, reminding you that even a brief pause can restore clarity, calm, and connection with God. Through teachings on biblical meditation, sacred rhythms, and faithful presence, I'll invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and receive rest not as a reward for exhaustion, but as a sacred gift available in every season of life.

Happy New Year,

Insight Timer family!

It's Tonya Murphy and I'm so grateful to be here with you.

I want to invite you into something really special,

A year-long journey I've created called The Gift of Sacred Rest Seasons.

It's a gentle 90-second weekly offering designed to help you realign with God's rhythm of rest,

One sacred pause at a time.

Each week,

In just a minute and a half,

We'll slow down together.

You'll hear scripture,

Simple contemplative practices,

And quiet invitations to rest that follow the natural flow of the seasons.

Winter stillness,

Spring's awakening,

Summer's connection,

And autumn's harvest.

These moments are meant to ground you,

Restore your breath,

And remind you that rest isn't something you earn when you're exhausted.

It's a gift God makes available to us in every season of life.

My hope is that this series becomes a gentle rhythm that you return to each week,

A place to pause,

Breathe deeply,

And remember that even the smallest moments of rest can reconnect you to God's presence.

I'd love for you to join me as we walk through the seasons of sacred rest together.
