“The illusion of leadership is to think we can be led out of the desert by someone who’s never been there.” - Henri Nouwen

Have you ever given everything you had—emotionally, spiritually, physically—only to find yourself dry, disconnected, and asking if you belong anymore? You’re not alone.

In this deeply honest and uplifting episode, Catholic speaker and evangelist Greg Wasinski opens his heart about the very real struggles of spiritual fatigue. Whether you're a ministry leader, a church volunteer, or someone quietly sitting in the pews wondering if you’re the only one feeling numb—this is the conversation you need.

🔹 Greg explores the powerful difference between being burnt out, worn out, or churched out, and what each one truly means.

🔹 He shares biblical wisdom, including the story of Elijah, and personal revelations from his 16-year ministry journey.

🔹 Discover practical steps to renew your soul, reconnect with your purpose, and let God nurse you back to spiritual health.

🔥 If you’re tired of feeling exhausted by the very thing that once gave you life, this episode is your reminder: You’re not alone. You’re not broken. And God still has more for you.

There comes a time in life, regardless of certain situations, that our hearts and minds lose their shine because of humanness. Possibly it's our fault for taking on too much. Maybe, life has just put circumstances before us that wear us down. Even in the church, it can stop being worship and turn into mere attendance, or worse, a burden.

Greg Wasinski helps us identify these stages of struggle and then gives us practical tips to overcome them. Greg's own story of experiencing these very things while in ministry shows us that we are not alone, and we are not broken when they happen to us.

There is beauty in community and an opportunity for our lives to be changed when we are are physically celebrating with others. Greg Wasinski asks an important question about why so many go to Easter Mass—"So, now what?" In this episode, Greg not only identifies why people might attend church only once or twice a year but also proposes why, if you fall into that category, you should think about attending worship regularly with a faith community. This isn't just some sort of religious obligation, this is your life, and possibly the future changer for those you love.
