In this episode, we walk through what it looks like to do a
“drain audit.” What drains us emotionally? Physically?
Spiritually? Relationally? We talk honestly about how tragedy,
busyness, sickness, loud rooms, traffic, and even good ministry
can leave us thin.
We also talk about rhythms—daily, weekly, and seasonal—that
help us build a replenishment cycle. Not as indulgence. Not as an
escape. But as obedience. Because running empty isn’t holy. And
exhaustion isn’t a mystery—it’s a pattern.
If you’ve been chasing rest but still feel weary, we hope
this conversation encourages you & helps you build your
own rhythms of replenishment.
