#147 When Serving Starts Costing You Your Peace and Joy With Deacon Kevin Cummings
Description
You’re trying to do the right thing.
You’re showing up for your family, your responsibilities, your faith…
and you keep going—even when you’re tired.
Because that’s what love does, right?
But there’s a point where something shifts.
You hit your limit…
and instead of stopping, you keep going.
And over time, that starts to affect your peace…
and your joy.
In this conversation, I’m joined by Deacon Kevin Cummings, who shares from his work with women through Deacons of Hope—walking closely with those in some of the most vulnerable and difficult situations.
He speaks to something we don’t often name:
That women don’t just give…
we keep going past the point of “enough.”
We talk about why that happens—
and how easy it is to lose sight of where that line even is.
We also talk about:
- Why women often keep going when many men would stop
- How to recognize when you’ve already gone past your limit
- What it actually means to know, love, and serve God in your daily life
- Why prayer matters if you want to stay rooted in what God is asking
- And how peace and joy are connected to living that out—not just doing more
