Burnout feels like waiting for the next blow.I remember sobbing to a friend after three months, where it felt like everything I valued was stripped away. Later, another friend echoed the same words: “I’m just scared of what will happen next.”Burnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s the crushing weight of repeated losses. The first time someone explained burnout recovery to me, I nearly cried with relief. What I was experiencing was normal. But recovery wasn’t instant. Healing burnout takes time, grace, and patience.Today I’m talking with Vaneetha, who has walked through divorce, infertility, post-polio syndrome, and even the loss of a child. In the middle of suffering, she has clung to faith and discovered the hope God offers in burnout, grief, and lament.We’ll explore:-What burnout really looks like-How to recover from burnout with faith-What lament is and how to practice it-How to hold on to hope when life feels impossibleLet’s talk:What led to burnout for you?What does burnout look like in your faith journey?How have you learned to lament and hold hope in hard times?Pain isn’t a competition. Sharing our stories of burnout, faith, and lament helps others heal—and helps us heal too.⁠More info about Around the Ancient World HERE!!⁠You can find Vaneetha Risner and her book "Watching for the Morning."You can find Elizabeth writing helpful hints ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helping you love Jesus and disciple your kids ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or get access to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Additional study resources here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Original Music written and recorded by Jonathan Camenisch *affiliate links are used when appropriate.
