In this powerful conversation, Christine sits down with Dallas

Marley—entrepreneur turned missionary—who sold his 7-figure food truck

empire to serve human trafficking victims in Ecuador. Dallas reveals the

hidden trap that keeps high performers spiritually restless despite

massive success: confusing activity with true rest.

Speaking from his journey of building multiple businesses while

internally burning out, Dallas exposes why even "successful" Christians

struggle with an unshakeable sense of "not enough." He shares how God's

invitation to "rest" during COVID wasn't about doing less—it was about

operating from a completely different identity foundation.

From Nashville boardrooms to Ecuador's streets, this conversation will

challenge everything you think you know about rest, performance, and

what it truly means to live from grace instead of grinding for approval.

This Episode Is for You If:

You've achieved success but still feel spiritually restless inside

You can't slow down without feeling guilty or anxious

You're driven by performance but exhausted by the constant pressure

You know God loves you but don't feel it at a heart level

You're curious about what true rest looks like for high achievers

You want to understand the difference between human striving and divine grace

You're ready to operate from identity instead of achievement

You sense God calling you to something deeper than just "doing more"

Key Takeaways:

🛑 Inactivity Reveals Rest - Being still exposes whether you truly rest or just escape

⚡ Grace = Supernatural Power - God's unmerited favor enables what human effort cannot

🆔 Identity Determines Everything - Speak to who people really are, not their mistakes

🏃‍♂️ Restlessness vs Rest - True rest is ceasing from works of striving, not physical activity

💝 Righteousness is a Gift - Stop trying to earn what's already freely given

🔄 Transformation Happens Inside-Out - Change your core beliefs, and behavior follows

⚖️ Acceptance ≠ Agreement - You can love people without endorsing their choices

🧠 Renew Your Mind - Spiritual warfare is about aligning thoughts with truth

Notable Quotes: "Inactivity isn't rest, but inactivity will reveal to

you whether or not you are in rest."

"Restlessness is that voice of guilt when things get still that says,

'Are you sure you're doing enough?'"

"Maybe what's driving us isn't the voice of God, but it's the voice of

guilt that says if you don't do good enough, the world's not going to

accept you."

"It's not our job to change people. It's our job to love them. God

changes them."

"We start telling people who they are and they start acting like it."

"When we're doing what God wants us to do from a healthy place, there's

grace."
