Summary

This week, I’m talking about something we don’t often say out loud—what happens when burnout starts to look spiritual? You know that moment where you’re still called, still committed, but your capacity feels like it got hit by a truck? Yep, we’re going there. I open up about my own experiences with soul fatigue, what Scripture really says about growing weary in well-doing, and how to recognize the signs before you hit that breaking point. I also share three questions that have helped me check in with myself: Am I running from something or running toward something? What’s fueling me—obligation or overflow? Am I resting to recover or scrolling to escape? Let’s be honest, let’s be kind to ourselves, and let’s talk about how we keep showing up when quitting sounds like relief.Author School Guidebooks: havilahsauthorschool.com/guidebooks

0:00.0	So what do you do when your calling feels like it's still going strong,
0:05.0	but your capacity feels like it was hit by a truck?
0:08.0	We're going to talk about how to keep showing up when you feel burned out.
0:12.0	And gosh, I could write a book on this topic.
0:15.0	I am definitely somebody who understands this, and I hope you do too.
0:19.0	There's just this reality of like no one really talks
0:21.3	about after the yes. Like nobody really acknowledges what it looks like after the breakthrough
0:27.0	happens or the big moment happens or the miracle happens or the prayer gets answered. Like,
0:31.9	how do we actually live through that? Like, you know, I've talked about this in the episodes
0:35.2	past. And again, if you're just jumping in, we're talking about faith ain't fragile.
0:39.3	That's the series.
0:40.2	I'm Havela Cunnington, and I'm so glad you're here.
0:42.7	But you're kind of being dropped right in the middle of this series about how our faith isn't fragile, but it also requires some real strategy.
0:51.2	And for me specifically, I talked a lot about waiting and waiting for God.
0:55.7	And, you know, I went from not being married, living at my parents home, uh, never having bought a
1:00.8	house, never having done a lot of things to in like five years being married, having four kids,
1:06.9	buying a house. Like, I mean, literally like my whole life went from this to this. And then it's kind of like,
1:13.7	well, you got your dream. You got your miracle. You should be good. But no one really talks about
1:17.8	what happens when all that happens. And when all the doors get opened in your life, what real life
1:24.3	feels like behind the scenes when you have dishes and deadlines and your soul is
1:29.0	running on spiritual fumes. So today I want to tackle that a little in the in the series.
