Episode Synopsis

Main Scripture: Matthew 11:28"Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."In this episode of Rise Up Tonight, we confront the reality that many leaders and believers are running on empty—physically active but spiritually drained. We explore how soul exhaustion can quietly creep in and the signs that your spiritual tank is dangerously low, such as irritability, numbness, or loss of joy in prayer and worship.Jesus Himself modeled the importance of withdrawing to rest and pray, reminding us that rest is not weakness—it’s obedience. We debunk the myth that busyness equals fruitfulness and emphasize that true impact flows from abiding in God, not from constant striving.You’ll discover simple, practical habits to restore your soul: starting your day with God, journaling emotional check-ins, protecting a Sabbath rhythm, and prioritizing silence before screens. The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer of realignment—an invitation to return to your first love and lead from a place of spiritual overflow, not depletion.Key Takeaway:Your soul matters. You can’t pour out if you never pour in. Jesus is still inviting the weary to come, rest, and be restored. Don’t ignore the signs—tend to your soul.Ask ChatGPT
