In this episode of #Hale4Health: The Health Evangelist, we step into the sacred exchange that happens when we give God not just the polished parts of our lives but the ashes. Burnout. Breakdown. Brokenness. What if the very fire that almost consumed you is the same fire God wants to use to fuel your calling?

Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, we uncover:

✨ What a burnt offering really means in today’s walk with God

✨ How fire can refine instead of destroy

✨ Why your unedited story carries healing for others

✨ How to surrender burnout as worship and testimony

This week’s episode is an invitation to stop hiding the burn marks and lay it all on the altar. God does not waste wounds and He does not need a perfect offering. He asks for a willing one.

Core Scriptures

📖 Psalm 51:17 — A broken and contrite heart God will not despise

📖 Romans 12:1 — Offer your body as a living sacrifice

📖 Isaiah 61:3 — Beauty for ashes, joy for mourning
