Episode Details

Does exhaustion ever feel like a betrayal? You’re serving, you’re showing up, and you’re giving everything - yet you’re still running on empty.

In today’s devotional, we explore why weariness is honest, not a failure. Using the story of the prophet Elijah and the promise of Isaiah 40:31, we look at how God renews us in layers rather than leaps. If you feel like you have nothing left to give, this is for you.
