Summary

What if the stress, anxiety, and burnout we feel aren’t signs that we’re doing too much, but signs that we’re plugged into the wrong source? It’s time for us to unplug so we can actually recharge. In this episode, Christine Caine invites us to follow the example of Jesus, who regularly withdrew from the crowds to pray, reminding us that peace, clarity, and strength are found not in constant connection, but in God’s presence. As our devices demand more of us than ever, this message calls us to unplug from the virtual world and intentionally plug into the One who renews our souls and restores our joy. ✨ Be equipped and empowered to discover: ● Why Jesus intentionally withdrew from people to be with the Father. ● How constant digital connection is fueling anxiety, burnout, and distraction. ● What it practically looks like to unplug from technology and plug into God. 💛 Get your FREE Episode Reflection Guide: 👉 http://bit.ly/4gx1ZYk 📌 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement today. + + + + 🖥️ SUBSCRIBE: https://bit.ly/ChristineCaineSubscribe PRE-ORDER Christine’s NEW book, The Faith to Flourish → https://linktr.ee/christinecaine ORDER Christine's new devotional, "You're Not Finished Yet" → https://linktr.ee/christinecaine 💛 For more great stuff, check out: LISTEN to Christine Caine’s Life and Leadership Podcast→ https://linktr.ee/christinecaine DONATE to Equip & Empower Ministries: https://linktr.ee/christinecaine 📲 Follow Christine on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChristineCaine/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theChristineCaine/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChristineCaine Christine Caine is a speaker, activist, and bestselling author who awakens people everywhere to discover their God-given purpose and live transformed lives for Jesus.
