Episode 31: Every Burden Isn’t Yours: Putting Down What God Didn’t Give You
🎙️ Episode 31: Every Burden Isn’t Yours: Putting Down What God Didn’t Give You
Have you ever reached a point where you’re doing everything for everyone and still feeling like you’re failing anyway?
Sometimes faithfulness isn’t saying yes to more, it’s finally putting something down.
In this solo episode, Kristy opens up about a season where life was packed too tight—work, school, moving, parenting transitions, emotional pressure, and silent expectations that felt holy but were quietly crushing her. She walks through the difference between what God gives us to carry and what we pick up out of guilt, obligation, or fear of letting people down.
Through Scripture, raw honesty, and a backpack metaphor you won’t forget, she gently leads us into the kind of surrender that feels more like freedom than failure. If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, or guilty for needing rest, this conversation is an invitation to breathe again—to stop carrying loads God never asked of you, and trust Him to hold what is too heavy.
🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- The moment when carrying too much stopped feeling holy and started feeling harmful
- How emotional false ownership exhausts the soul
- Why saying “no” can be sacred
- A backpack story that reveals what happens when we carry more than we’re built for
- A prayerful path to laying burdens down with God instead of pushing through alone
