What does perseverance actually look like when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or honestly just ready to quit?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend, Kaitlin Chappell Rogers, author of She Just Won’t Quit: Embracing the Practice of Everyday Perseverance, for an incredibly honest conversation about faith, freedom, mental health, burnout, motherhood, calling, and what it really means to keep going.

Kaitlin shares her journey from trying to be “good enough” for God to understanding that Jesus is our righteousness and freedom isn’t something we earn.

We also talk very openly about her battles with depression and anxiety, therapy, medication, asking for help, and why perseverance does not mean pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and handling everything alone.

Sometimes perseverance looks much smaller.

Getting out of bed.

Calling someone you trust.

Opening your Bible for five minutes.

Taking the next right step.

Kaitlin also reminds us that nobody is actually doing it all, no matter what social media makes it look like. God created us with limitations so we would depend on Him—and He gives us what we need for today.

You do not have to have a big, loud life to make an impact.

Stay where God has called you. Take the next step. And don’t quit.
