What happens when âserving Godâ quietly turns into obligation, guilt, and burnout? In this episode, we expose how Pentecostal churches often trap people through involvement - where volunteering becomes identity, identity becomes leverage, and leaving feels impossible. We examine how hustle-based Christianity replaces trust in Christ with performance, and it ties faithfulness to exhaustion and blessings. Then we interrupt that narrative with Scripture, showing that God doesnât call believers to depletion. Tune in if your church involvement feels like nonstop work instead of service to God. We want to share the message of Jesus with you:Â
You can rest, you can have peace, and you can be free!
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. - Matthew 11:28 ESV
