The Well-Rested Leader: The Journey from Selfish Ambition to Faith, Fulfillment and Freedom

Are you worn out from striving, chasing success, or hiding behind the mask of achievement?

The Well-Rested Leader is a 31-day spiritual and physical fitness devotional designed to help you trade burnout for peace, facades for authenticity, and self-directed ambition for God's purpose. Through Scripture, reflective questions, wellness tips, and nourishing recipes, Sherry Crystal White invites you to step into a lifestyle of surrender and transformation.

Sharing her own story of overcoming brokenness, abuse, and burnout, Sherry offers a transparent look at how God rescued her from toxic cycles of idolatry, escapism, and exhaustion. As a young professional, she once sought identity in career accomplishments, relationships, and comfort, only to discover that these pursuits left her feeling empty. After years of striving, displaced anger, and chronic stress, which led to a health issue, she accepted God's divine invitation to rebuild life His way.

This devotional is both a testimony and a tool. Each day will guide you to slow down, rest, and seek God's wisdom for your path. As you commit to the quiet work of Biblical meditation, praise, worship, prayer, fasting and creating more space, you'll discover how to live and lead with faith, courage, and lasting joy.
