Welcome back to the Fourty-Fifth episode of The Narrow Path Podcast! In this episode, Jake and Justin dive into a topic everyone faces at some point: feeling overwhelmed — and why it’s completely normal, especially in busy seasons.

They discuss how overwhelm often signals the need to pause, retreat, and prioritize time with God. Before going out to do things in Jesus’ name, we must first sit at His feet and stay connected to the Vine, because apart from Him, we can do absolutely nothing. Saying no, resting, and finding balance isn’t selfish — it’s essential to avoid burnout and care for others well.

Jake and Justin also explore why true strength isn’t self-reliance, how acknowledging our limits is actually wisdom, and why self-love in the form of rest is selfless. By prioritizing time with Jesus first, listeners can refill their cups, walk in clarity, and serve faithfully without running dry.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or on the verge of burnout, this episode is for you.
