We live in a world that praises exhaustion and mistakes burnout for obedience. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned how to stay busy, stay strong, and keep pushing — even when our souls were depleted.

In this episode of ElevateHer Voice with Evangelist Kisha, we pause to ask an honest question: Why are we asking God for more when we haven’t rested from less?

This conversation is not about doing more — it’s about learning how to slow down, realign, and honor the pace God designed for us. Because God is not impressed by how much we carry, and He never asked us to prove our worth through exhaustion. Rest is not laziness. Rest is obedience.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ Why burnout is not a badge of honor
✨ How hustle culture can pull us out of alignment with God
✨ The difference between survival mode and faith-led living
✨ Why God sometimes withholds more as a form of protection
✨ Learning how to release guilt around rest

📖 Scripture Anchors:
Matthew 11:28–30 | Psalm 127:2 | Ecclesiastes 4:6

💬 Key Takeaway:
Before God expands you, He often restores you. Sometimes the breakthrough you’re praying for isn’t found in doing more, it’s found in resting, resetting, and trusting God’s pace.

If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly burned out, this episode is an invitation — not condemnation. An invitation to breathe, to pause, and to trust that rest is holy.
