Out of Focus

Burnout doesn’t just happen overnight. Whether in ministry, marriage, parenting, or your career, it’s a slow fade—one that can leave you drained, distant, and dangerously close to collapse.

In this special episode of Out of Focus, Shannon sits down with her husband, Mike Lee, to talk about the often-overlooked warning signs of burnout and how to fight back with grace, wisdom, and God’s Word.

Together, they talk about:

• The subtle signs of burnout (and why leaders often miss them)
• What Elijah’s breakdown teaches us about exhaustion and depression
• Why ministry without rest leads to emptiness
• How couples can recognize burnout in each other and respond with grace
• The role of private worship and community in restoring our souls
• Practical ways to refill your tank when life feels overwhelming

If you’ve ever felt tired, spiritually dry, or “out of focus,” this conversation will remind you: you don’t have to keep running on empty. Jesus invites you to the table—even in the middle of the battle.

Affairs don’t happen overnight. They begin with a drift—a slow fade most people never see coming.

In this episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart—former America’s Next Top Model runner-up and Miss Ohio USA—opens up about her own experience with drift, sin, and the redeeming grace of Jesus.

She shares how small cracks in marriage, emotional disconnection, and spiritual dryness opened the door to temptation. This isn’t shared as an excuse, but as a warning. If you recognize signs of drift in your own life, you can take action before it’s too late.

Listeners will hear what Shannon wishes she had done differently, practical ways to guard the heart, and a powerful reminder that no marriage and no soul are ever beyond God’s reach.

I thought I knew God… until one moment changed everything.”

In this moving conversation with my mom, you’ll hear how she went from religion without relationship to a life fully surrendered to Jesus—no turning back.

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode of Out of Focus, I sit down with the woman who has shaped my faith more than anyone else—my mother. From her devout Catholic upbringing to the moment she surrendered her life to Christ, she shares the raw and beautiful journey of finding a real relationship with Him.

We talk about:

Growing up in a religious home but not knowing the Gospel

The unexpected encounter at work that led her to the Bible

The cost of following Jesus when family doesn’t understand

How to keep your heart focused in a world full of distractions

Why prayer has become her lifeline (and how she prays for decades without giving up)

The daily habits that keep her faith strong

Whether you’ve walked with God for years, are just starting to seek Him, or feel “out of focus” in your spiritual life, this conversation will encourage you to press in, pursue truth, and hold on to the One who never lets go.
