What If Burnout Isn't the End of Your Story?
What if the thing that burned you out isn't the end of your story — but the beginning of a better one?
That's not a platitude. It's what actually happened.
In this final episode of the week, I share what came after the breaking point — the season of waiting, seeking, and slowly beginning to hear God again. I share how my wife Wendy and I began praying differently, not asking God to bless our plans but asking Him to define them entirely. And I share two things that happened during that season that I couldn't have seen coming — one heartbreaking, one that felt like an unmistakable answer to prayer.
We also spend time with Joseph — a man whose story is essentially one long string of setbacks that God was quietly weaving into something none of Joseph's circumstances suggested was possible. Genesis 50:20 is one of the great verses in all of Scripture, and I think it lands differently when you've lived through something that looked like loss and turned out to be something else entirely.
If you've been in a hard season and you're trying to figure out what God is doing — or whether He's doing anything at all — this episode is for you.
What we cover:
- What it looks like to seek God intentionally after burnout strips everything away
- How praying for a life instead of just a job changed everything
- What a season of caregiving taught me about what actually matters
- How Joseph's story reframes what looks like loss in our own lives
- What it means to let God redirect rather than rushing back to what's familiar
