Ep. 40 God Doesn't Need My Burnout: Three Lessons from a Workaholic


Listen Later

Synopsis:

We live in a world that praises exhaustion and calls it faithfulness. I bought into it—until my body, soul, and schedule said no more. In this episode, I talk honestly about rest as an act of trust: trusting that God is enough even when I stop striving, trusting that my limits are not failures but invitations, and trusting that my worth isn’t measured by how much I produce. This conversation is about releasing the pressure to do it all, reprioritizing time around what actually matters, and learning to let God be God while I rest.

In this episode you will hear:

- Busyness is a way to cover my fear and a false way to find my self worth

- Rest forces me to wrestle with my unspoken expectations of God

- I'm learning that my limitations aren't weakness but an invitation to trust God with everything

- I've been challenged to reprioritize my time around who truly matters in my life
