The Pursuit of Holy Leisure: A Conversation with Cara Ray

Have you ever felt like your time with God has become just another box to check?

I know I have.

In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with my Cara Ray to talk about something that truly ministered to my own heart—the pursuit of holy leisure.

Cara shares her journey from a performance-driven faith—where quiet time felt like a duty—to discovering a peaceful, joyful presence with the Lord. And I’ll be honest, so much of her story felt like my own.

If you’ve ever felt like:

• Your spiritual life feels rushed or routine
• You’re striving to “get it right” instead of simply being with God
• You’re longing to actually enjoy your relationship with Him again

…this conversation is for you.

Together, we talk about what it means to shift from discipline to delight, and how enjoying God isn’t something we earn—it’s something we receive. We also explore how this can look in real, everyday life… in your home, your work, your relationships, and even in the smallest moments you might otherwise miss.

We don’t have to wait for perfect conditions to experience God’s presence. He is available to us right here—in the middle of our ordinary, beautiful, imperfect lives.

Friend, what if today you slowed down just enough to notice Him?

I’m praying this conversation helps you release the pressure to perform and gently invites you back into the joy of simply being with Him.

With love,
Rachael
