When You're Running on Empty (And Don't Even Realize It)

You've been busy. You've been getting things done. But somewhere along the way, you may have disappeared from your own life — and not even noticed.

That's not just tiredness. That might be burnout.

In this episode, I share a season from my own life — stepping into a new leadership role and walking straight into a crisis that left me working 16-hour days for six months straight. I thought I was doing what needed to be done. What I didn't realize was how empty I was becoming in the process.

We also spend time in one of the most honest moments in all of Scripture — 1 Kings 19, where Elijah, fresh off one of the greatest victories of his life, collapses under a tree and tells God he's had enough. Same man. Same calling. Completely different condition.

If something in you is tired right now — even if you can't quite explain why — this episode is for you.

What we cover:

• Why burnout often feels like responsibility, not failure
• How exhaustion affects you physically, mentally, and spiritually
• What God's response to Elijah teaches us about His response to us
