The Withdrawal Pattern | Why Jesus Quit at His Peak (And You Should Too)


Listen Later

Luke 5:15-16 reveals something counterintuitive: At the height of His ministry momentum, Jesus withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

He didn't wait for burnout. He didn't push through. He left while the opportunity was still there.

This episode introduces the Sabbath Protocol—a framework built on the Lean principle of Preventative Maintenance. Because any system that runs continuously will eventually break. The only question is whether you choose the time and terms, or whether breakdown chooses you.

Key Scriptures: Luke 5:15-16, Mark 1:35-38, Psalm 46:10

Key Framework: Preventative Maintenance applied to soul capacity.
