About this episode
This past week, I almost walked straight into a burnout.
I had convinced myself that every hour had to be productive. That every moment of rest needed to be “useful.” That if I wasn’t creating something—be it a podcast, a story, a homily, or a social post—I was wasting precious time.
The truth hit me somewhere between a splitting headache, a disappointing convention visit, and yet another 6 a.m. wake-up after too little sleep.
And here's what I realized:
Even good work can become destructive when we forget to rest.
In this episode of The Walk, I reflect on:
-
Why I struggle to allow myself downtime—even when I know I need it
-
The subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of burnout
-
How ADHD fuels hyperfocus and perfectionism
-
The spiritual trap of thinking our worth depends on output
-
What it means to trust Jesus enough to stop working
If you’ve ever found yourself running on empty, pushing through exhaustion, or feeling guilty for resting, this episode is for you. Let’s learn together to trade hustle for healing.
Because faith is not about proving our love for God through effort.
It’s about making space to receive His love in stillness.
