This week, Jennie Allen sits down with her friend and leadership expert Carey Nieuwhof to talk about burnout, rest, and sustainable rhythms. Carey shares his powerful story of hitting a wall after years of striving and high performance, and how he learned that time off won’t fix a life that’s running on empty. They discuss how to create sustainable habits, protect your energy, and live intentionally—even when life feels chaotic.

Whether you're a working professional, a ministry leader, or a stay-at-home parent juggling everything, this episode will give you practical wisdom and encouragement to reset your pace and protect your heart.

Something is happening across the world. Revival is breaking outl, God is moving, and we have a choice: lean in or miss it. In this episode, we are sharing Jennie's message from Gather. As she reflects on her own experiences witnessing the glory of God, she issues a challenge to all of us:

This episode is raw, unfiltered, and urgent. Jennie shares her vivid dream that started Gather 25 and why she believes the church must wake up. The storm of revival is coming—will you be part of it, or will it pass you by? Or will we be so distracted by our comforts, our cynicism, and our self-made plans that we miss it?

This is a call to action. Confess, repent, and let God move in your life. Revival isn’t coming—it’s already here. Will you be part of it? Press play, lean in, and let’s go.
