In this episode of The Debrief Podcast, we’re diving into the tension so many believers feel but rarely talk about.

What happens when your pursuit of God starts to feel like pressure instead of peace? When spiritual disciplines turn into performance? When you’re trying to be faithful in your work, but you’re not sure if it’s costing you your soul—or fulfilling your calling?

We talk through what it looks like to move from a works-based mindset into a genuine relationship with God, how to discern whether you’re walking in purpose or drifting into burnout, and why so many people struggle to stay engaged with Scripture—and what to do about it.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed in your faith, stuck in routine, or unsure if you’re actually growing, this conversation is for you.
