In our last episode, we talked about how Christianity can slowly turn into a label instead of a relationship—and today, we’re continuing that conversation. In this episode of Prodigal Daughter: Light in the Shadows, we’re unpacking the difference between abiding in Christ and performing for God, and why so many believers feel exhausted, guilty, or spiritually worn out.
In this episode of Prodigal Daughter: Light in the Shadows, we’re talking about the powerful difference between abiding in Christ and performing for God—and why so many believers, especially women, are quietly burning out, stepping away from church, or questioning their faith altogether.
Using John 15, Matthew 11, and real-life stories, we explore how performance-based Christianity sneaks in through church culture, social media, and unrealistic spiritual expectations. We also talk honestly about spiritual burnout, deconstruction, chronic illness, and the pressure to “look healed” or spiritually put-together.
This episode is for the woman who isn’t walking away from God—but is weary of striving, pretending, and measuring her faith by productivity instead of relationship.
You’ll discover:
What it truly means to abide in Christ (and what it doesn’t)
How performance-driven faith leads to burnout and shame
Why questioning church culture doesn’t mean you’re losing your faith
How Jesus invites the weary, the sick, and the worn-down into rest—not more effort
Practical ways to shift from striving to remaining connected to the Vine
If your faith feels heavy, this conversation will remind you that Christianity was never meant to be exhausting—it was meant to be transformative.
You are not behind.
You are not failing.
And you don’t have to earn God’s presence.
🎧 Press play and come back to the simple, life-giving invitation of abiding with Jesus.
