Burdens We Carry: How to Live Freely and Lightly in a Weary and Burdened World

What are we getting so wrong? If Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light," why are we stressed out to the point of collapse? My only conclusion: my expectations are different to Jesus' expectations. What I am carrying is not the yoke of discipleship Jesus designed for me.

Life doesn't have to feel this heavy.

Many Christian women today are exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly asking, "If Jesus promised rest, why am I still so burdened?"

In The Burdens We Carry, Christine Wood invites you on a soul-deep journey to uncover the expectations and pressures you were never meant to carry. With honesty, gentle wisdom, and spiritual depth, Christine helps you:

• Recognise the cultural, church, and self-imposed burdens weighing you down
• Lay down guilt, comparison, busyness, and perfectionism
• Embrace biblical truths that lead to peace, simplicity, and freedom

Through personal story, Scripture, and reflection, you'll discover that living freely and lightly isn't just possible - it's exactly what Jesus invites you into.

This book is a lifeline for every weary Christian woman who longs to exhale, rest, and finally live unburdened.

If you are feeling the weight of a life that's become too heavy, too busy, too stressful, or simply too much, get ready to lay your burdens down. Together we'll look one by one at the expectations that weigh on us-from the world, the church, and even those we put on ourselves. We will explore the truth of what Scripture teaches us about each of these burdens, and look at simple, practical strategies to live the free and unburdened life that Jesus calls us to.

"This is a book every weary heart needs. The Burdens We Carry is an honest, tender guide for anyone longing to lay down the weight they were never meant to bear. With wisdom and warmth, Christine points us back to the gentle heart of Jesus and the real rest our souls crave. This book isn't just good - it's healing."
