✨The 7 Faces of Exhaustion™ Summer Series✨ (Part 5 of 8)
I didn’t stop believing, but my faith just went quiet. Like a fire nobody put out, but nobody fed either. One day I looked up and the flame was barely flickering.
I still went to church and when someone would ask how I was doing, I still said “God is good.” But inside, I felt like I was standing in a room where God used to speak, and now that room was empty.
In this episode, I’m sharing the season when I loved God and couldn’t hear Him anymore, why Spiritual Exhaustion isn’t backsliding, and five steps back to breathing again.
Featuring insights from A.W. Tozer, St. John of the Cross, Henri Nouwen, and Dr. Ruth Haley Barton, anchored in David’s cry in Psalm 22 and God’s invitation in Malachi 3:7.
Spiritual Exhaution is part 5 of The 7 Faces of Exhaustion™ Summer Series. If your Bible feels flat, your prayers feel empty, and worship songs don’t move you like they used to, this one is for you.💛

Joyfully yours,
A Gentle Note: I’m not a physician, therapist, or licensed counselor. I’m a woman of faith who’s walked through exhaustion and found her way back to joy. What I share here comes from my own journey and the wisdom of Scripture, not medical advice. If you’re experiencing ongoing fatigue or mental health struggles, please reach out to a trusted healthcare provider or emergency agency. What I offer is encouragement from one who’s been there, and a reminder that you’re not alone.💛
