Are you running on empty or just barely getting by? In this message from our Renew: Building Relationships God’s Way series, Pastor Jay Austin walks through Exodus 18 to show how God never intended us to live isolated, overwhelmed, or spiritually drained. Using the story of Moses and the wise counsel of his father-in-law Jethro, we see God’s design for moving from an empty cup to an overflowing life through healthy relationships and shared responsibility.

This sermon explores how God fills us through worship, His Word, and intentional community so that what He pours into us can spill out onto others. You’ll hear a powerful reminder that even strong leaders can be “isolated in plain sight,” and that God’s solution is not more effort, but deeper connection. From the discipleship pathway to life-giving groups, this message invites us to stop doing life alone and start living from overflow.

Whether you feel empty, half-full, or hopeful, this message will encourage you to embrace God’s blueprint for renewal, community, and lasting impact.
