This is Equip and Empower, the Christine Cain podcast, for everyone who desires to bring

hope, create change, and live out their God-given destiny with passion and joy.

Here's your host, Christine Cain.

I'm so glad that you tuned in. I believe that God's got a word for you today.

You know, we're in the middle of a series where we're talking about the fountain of eternal youth.

I mean, who does not want to stay young forever? And in this series, we're discovering that the

secret to staying forever young has actually got nothing to do with the wrinkles on our skin,

but it's got everything to do with the condition of our heart.

And we've seen from the book of John that Jesus said that, you know what, if we drink of him,

that out of us will flow rivers of living water that we will never run dry.

And I am on a quest at the moment of keeping us forever young because everywhere I go, all over the earth,

people are so weary. It's almost like a badge of honor. Oh, man, I'm tired.

I'm just so tired. I'm just so exhausted. Everyone is exhausted. Nobody's got any time.

Everyone is just burned to out. Everyone is just weary. And it's almost like we wear it like a badge.

And I'm like, hang on a minute. As Christians, are we really meant to burn out?

If we've got the eternal spirit of God living on the inside of us,

if you and I are going to live forever, then surely we don't have to burn out.

And in fact, Galatians chapter 6 verse 9 says, do not grow weary in doing good.

For in due season, you will reap if you faint night. So why would Galatians tell us?

Why would the Apostle Paul write and say, do not grow weary if you couldn't not grow weary?

I've been thinking about that for a long time. I'm thinking, why would God say, don't grow weary when it was impossible?

Well, surely it's not impossible. Surely it is possible to not grow weary.
