If you’ve been staying busy, handling what needs to be handled, and still feeling more worn down than you expected, this one is probably going to hit a little closer than you planned.

It’s easy to keep moving, to keep adding one more thing to the list, and to tell yourself you’ll slow down later once everything is done… but later doesn’t really come, and before long you realize you’ve been carrying a whole lot more than you ever meant to.

In this episode, I’m walking through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18 and 19, not just the moment where God showed up in a powerful way, but what happened right after, when everything caught up with him and he found himself exhausted and ready to quit.

And what stands out in that isn’t just where he ended up, it’s how God met him there, not with more to do, not with pressure to keep going, but by taking care of him first and giving him space to rest before anything else.

So if you’ve been pushing through and wondering why you still feel so drained, or why things feel a little harder than they should, I think this is going to speak to you.

Listen in and be encouraged.
