Episode Summary:We often feel exhausted in the name of serving God, yet strangely far from His heart. We pray, we serve, and we show up for everyone, but inside, we are slowly burning out. We assume this exhaustion is just the cost of faithfulness, but what if it’s actually a sign of a deeper disconnection?In this episode, Jim Burgoon unpacks the critical difference between Working FOR God and Working WITH God. While one preposition leads to strain and bitterness, the other leads to steadiness and increase. Jim dives deep into the "Employee Mindset" that keeps us acting like spiritual orphans trying to earn our keep , and how past trauma often rewires us to perform for love.If you are a high achiever or a servant-hearted leader feeling the weight of the world, this episode is your invitation to stop trying to pay back a debt Christ already canceled. You’ll learn how to shift from striving to sonship, the one question to ask every morning to reset your rhythm, and how to build a life of partnership rather than pressure.Key Takeaways:For vs. With: "Working for God" is an employer/employee dynamic that leads to burnout. "Working with God" is a Father/child dynamic that leads to steadiness .The Debt Myth: Many of us are working ourselves into the ground trying to pay back a debt that Jesus already canceled. You cannot earn what you have already been freely given.Trauma & Performance: We often project our earthly trauma onto God, believing we must "produce" to be loved. We chase the "well done" from God that we never received from earthly figures .Redefining Success: Success is not about volume; it is about alignment. A day of small obedience is more successful in the Kingdom than a day of impressive, unasked-for busyness .The Morning Shift: Stop asking, "What do I have to do for God today?" and start asking, "Lord, what are we doing together today?" .Favorite Quotes:"Working for God will drain you. Working with God will steady you." "God did not hire you. He adopted you... You are not a spiritual employee trying to keep your position." "Working for God is what happens when we try to pay back the debt that Christ already canceled." "God is more interested in who you are becoming with him than he has ever been interested in what you are producing for him." "Rest is not what you do after you finish God's work. Rest is part of how you do God's work."
