God Did Not Hire You: Breaking the Cycle of Spiritual Burnout.
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."

There is a difference between working for God and working with God.
Speaker A:One produces strain and the other produces steadiness.
Speaker A:So let's unpack that and how it impacts us here on the unshakable life.
Speaker B:This is the unshakable life.
Speaker B:Mindset, resilience, action.
Speaker B:No stride.
Speaker B:Break free from the burnout.
Speaker B:Find your true north with your guy, Jim Burgoon stepping forward.
Speaker A:Have you ever realized you are exhausted in the name of God, in the name of serving God?
Speaker A:And yet you feel so far from his heart.
Speaker A:You feel so far from the connection you're desiring and the connection you're trying to gain through serving Him.
Speaker A:I mean, think about it.
Speaker A:You pray and you serve.
Speaker A:You show up for everyone.
Speaker A:But inside it feels like you are slowly burning out in the name of faith.
Speaker A:And today I want to talk about something I think that many Christians never slow down enough to realize or to question.
Speaker A:They just accept it for what it is.
Speaker A:And the questions are, are you working for God?
Speaker A:Are you working with God?
Speaker A:It sounds like semantics, right?
Speaker A:But here's the thing.
Speaker A:Those two little words have major impact.
Speaker A:One will absolutely shape energy, your mental health, your relationships and your view on God himself.
Speaker A:And the other will drain it, maybe cause some bitterness, cause you to question your faith.
Speaker A:And ultimately you'll end up bartering with God because you'll be in your prayer life saying, God, have I not done so?
Speaker A:And so why haven't you shown up?
Speaker A:Because in the whole scheme of all of this, working for God will drain you.
Speaker A:Working with God will steady you.
Speaker A:And if you're a high achiever, a leader, a creator, a servant hearted believer, then this episode is really going to be you.
Speaker A:And I want you to tap in.
Speaker A:I want you to lean in and grab a pen and paper, take some notes, do your journal, do a little prayer and say, God, show me what needs to happen in my life so that I can partner with you and not just work with you.
Speaker A:Because here's the honest truth.
Speaker A:God didn't hire you as an employee.
Speaker A:He invited you in as a son or a daughter.
Speaker A:But yet we work and live as employees, hoping that we get the crumbs from God and that we can connect with him through our service.
Speaker A:But that is a little, that's really far from the truth.
Speaker A:Because let's talk about the working for God thing.
Speaker A:And most of us are doing that and ministry.
Speaker A:And when we start out, because we're never told the difference or we're never told anything because like on the surface it sounds like you're noble, it sounds like you have a servant's heart.
Speaker A:It sounds like everything is going good.
Speaker A:Churches celebrated, Ministries are built on it.
Speaker A:Matter of fact, ministries are built on people burning themselves out all the time.
Speaker A:But that's another story.
Speaker A:Even in entrepreneurship, when.
Speaker A:When a lot of us get our identity through what we produce, we're constantly working and striving and pushing forward.
Speaker A:But there's a problem when you work for God.
Speaker A:The dynamic is the employer, employee.
Speaker A:Actually, I think it gets a little bit worse than that because it feels almost like the master and slave.
Speaker A:It feels like a giant taskmaster, and I'm here to do whatever the taskmaster says.
Speaker A:And that's not what the word shows us.
Speaker A:Because there's a lot of us that feel the weight of the world on our shoulders, right?
Speaker A:Because everything that's going on, the craziness, all the negativity, there's a weight on us.
Speaker A:And then you think, and this is what culture tells us, if I don't make it happen, it won't happen.
Speaker A:If I stop spinning the plates, they'll all crash.
Speaker A:And there is not only just a trauma connection to this, but there's an egocentric connection to this.
Speaker A:So first is the.
Speaker A:Like, the trauma.
Speaker A:And a lot of people are not serving from love.
Speaker A:They're serving from fear, from shame, from guilt, from old wounds that never got named, that never got healed.
Speaker A:Matter of fact, you know, in scripture, it says, therefore, there is no longer any condemnation through all those who are in Christ Jesus.
Speaker A:Romans 8:1.
Speaker A:But yet we get in here and we condemn ourselves, we abandon ourselves, we feel guilty, we feel shame, and we do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Speaker A:And then we burn out.
Speaker A:And the fact that we're burning out is indicators that we're not partnering with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:We're partnering with.
Speaker A:With an idealism or an idea that if I keep working hard enough, maybe God will love me more, maybe God will notice me, and I'll get everything I'm praying for.
Speaker A:And this is a bad way to think about it.
Speaker A:And this is a trauma response.
Speaker A:And then there's the egocentric response that if I don't do it, nobody will do it.
Speaker A:And what you're saying yourselves is, I don't trust enough to let others help me do it.
Speaker A:And then I don't trust myself enough to stop doing it, because everything in my world will fall apart, and if I don't keep the thing spinning.
Speaker A:But when your worth is welded to your work, you will never feel like you're doing enough for God.
Speaker A:You're never going to Feel like you are enough, you're always going to think, is there a little bit more?
Speaker A:Will God notice me?
Speaker A:Because working for God often looks like you feel that you feel guilty when you rest.
Speaker A:When resting, you say yes before you ask God, what do you think?
Speaker A:Like, this is the people pleasing factor, where it's like all you have is, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker A:Instead of saying no to the things God doesn't want you to say no to.
Speaker A:But you don't know what he's saying no to because we didn't ask, what are you saying no to?
Speaker A:And so our schedule is full of what appears to be spiritual activity, but our souls are completely empty because what we are really doing is on the hamster reel of busyness and not actually what's spiritual.
Speaker A:So we gotta stop confusing the busyness with faithfulness.
Speaker A:Part of faithfulness in our calling is saying, God, what would you have me do?
Speaker A:And just as important is God, what would you have me not do?
Speaker A:And if you've ever thought if I slow down, God might be disappointed in me, that is a working for God mentality.
Speaker A:God is not disappointed in you if you slow down.
Speaker A:Matter of fact, the Bible talks a lot about us being in step, not striving, being, taking rest breaks, you know, having Sabbaths.
Speaker A:All of these things are in the Word because.
Speaker A:But you know what's really understanding is it goes back to the trauma.
Speaker A:Because that's the glue, that's the line underneath all of this.
Speaker A:Because I don't know about you, but maybe you're like me.
Speaker A:Maybe you grew up in a home where love had to be earned, where respect had to be constantly shaped because you were.
Speaker A:Nobody gave it to you.
Speaker A:So you thought if I did more, if I was perfect, I get the respect and the love that I need it.
Speaker A:But maybe the only time you ever felt seen was when you were performing.
Speaker A:And somewhere along the lines you took, you started performing in your grades, you started keeping score, you started cleaning the house, you started building a business, all because you were not following the purpose and gut plans that God had for you.
Speaker A:But what you were doing was, oh, this performance got me what I wanted, which was love, respect, honor.
Speaker A:So I'm going to constantly do this to make sure that I feel loved.
Speaker A:And here's the key, here's the kicker is that transitions when you finally meet God, you're going, oh, well, if I had to do this with my family to earn love, then I must have to do this with God to earn love.
Speaker A:And we get into this vicious, vicious cycle of Having to work to earn the love of God.
Speaker A:And I'm going to tell you, there's nothing you're going to do that's going to earn your his love anymore.
Speaker A:And there's nothing you're going to do that's going to cause him to lose it.
Speaker A:But we come into this kingdom of God where our nervous system is shot, it's fried, and it quietly believes that God is the most powerful version of our parents.
Speaker A:When God isn't our parents, God isn't even close to our parents.
Speaker A:And thank God for that.
Speaker A:But you know, we think he is a leader who won't see us unless we're producing for Him.
Speaker A:And this is so far from the truth, my friends, because working for God is what happens when we try to pay back the debt that Christ already canceled.
Speaker A:And I think that needs to sit with you for a minute.
Speaker A:And maybe you just pray about that.
Speaker A:But if God canceled the debt, why are we working to repay it?
Speaker A:The fruit of this is predictable burnout, resentment, anger, rage, disconnection, and a quiet like blaming of God that you feel too ashamed to admit it.
Speaker A:And you, you might just still be doing good things.
Speaker A:Like, it doesn't mean your busyness is bad, what we consider good or bad.
Speaker A:It doesn't consider bad things on the outside.
Speaker A:But if it's causing you to run on fumes, if it's causing you to lose who you are, if it's causing you to lose your way, then guess what, it's not a good thing.
Speaker A:It may be good on the outside, but it's not good for you.
Speaker A:And that is where the shaky life comes in.
Speaker A:That is you and I paying for the space on Earth while we labor for God.
Speaker A:And that's not what we're here to do.
Speaker A:And this is where we come into the place where we start to need to shift into partnering with God, partnering with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:Because this is where all life should be.
Speaker A:Whether you're in ministry, whether you're in entrepreneurship, whether you're an author, whether you're a creator, it doesn't matter.
Speaker A:You could be a parent, mom, a dad, whatever.
Speaker A:If we partner with God, we are not working as an employment from employment.
Speaker A:We're not.
Speaker A:He's not our employment agency.
Speaker A:We're working from sonship, we're working from partnership.
Speaker A:I mean, think about this.
Speaker A:Matthew 11 says, Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Speaker A:This is a promise.
Speaker A:Because he's not inviting us to go on vacation.
Speaker A:We don't get, we don't get kingdom sponsored vacations.
Speaker A:You don't get.
Speaker A:You don't work 17 years to get three weeks off.
Speaker A:That's not how the kingdom of God works.
Speaker A:But the difference is, is he's asking you to.
Speaker A:He's inviting us to create a life of rest, to create a life of margin, so that when he takes up, you know, when we take up the yoke of God and we're in these places of rest and margin, we're partnering with the spirit of God so that you and I can walk in greater, not only just authority, but in greater, you know, senses of fulfillment and greater impact.
Speaker A:And even at a space where we're truly trying to be okay with ourselves.
Speaker A:And we won't reach this place of self fulfillment or being okay with ourselves unless we're partnering with God.
Speaker A:Because working for God or actually working with God means you're not pulling this all alone.
Speaker A:And I said this on a previous episode and I'll link it in the comments, but it's the difference between the owner mentality and the stewardship mentality.
Speaker A:The owner mentality is I'm all the things, I do all the things.
Speaker A:The stewardship is God is all the things, and I'm just working with them.
Speaker A:So part of why we work for God is because we think we're the owners.
Speaker A:Now, your voice may say, I'm not an owner, but, but quite frankly, if your actions speak louder than words, then your words become meaningless when your action says you believe you're an owner.
Speaker A:And the key is to switch to a stewardship mindset where he is the owner, I am the steward.
Speaker A:I am here to take care of God's things.
Speaker A:So he gets to tell me what I do, what I don't do, what I need to avoid, and what I need to go after.
Speaker A:Because working with God.
Speaker A:Here's the thing, now get this.
Speaker A:Working with God means you move at the speed of his voice, not the speed of your anxiety.
Speaker A:That's a whole other episode, right, where we're doing so much out of the anxiety that we miss God in the midst of all of it.
Speaker A:Because the fruit of this, because we all talk about fruit and the fruits of the spirit, you know, loving kindness, patience, steadfastness and all these things.
Speaker A:When you work with God, you start to develop these fruits that are in Galatians, the steadfast loving kindness.
Speaker A:And it increases in a major way and it creates a difference in who you are, in your character, because you're going to show up differently in the world because you are actually Creating fruit.
Speaker A:Because when you work for God, you can only build what your two hands can carry.
Speaker A:When you work with God, you tap into his rich riches and resources, and you tap into the fruit of the spirit.
Speaker A:You.
Speaker A:You get to be able to work in a place of strategic partnership.
Speaker A:Now, what does that mean?
Speaker A:It means not only are you going to constantly bear fruit because the owner bears fruit.
Speaker A:So by nature, those attached to the owner also bear fruit.
Speaker A:But you also get things like strategy downloads that you didn't need to study for.
Speaker A:Who has a hallelujah for that?
Speaker A:Right, because you didn't study for it.
Speaker A:But you get the strategic downloads because we understand that, that in John it talks about the Holy Spirit teaches us all things.
Speaker A:That just doesn't mean teach us some things.
Speaker A:It teaches us all things, things we don't know, things that he wants us to know, just all things.
Speaker A:We get favor in rooms we didn't knock on.
Speaker A:You get results that you mathematically don't know how you got.
Speaker A:Because all things are possible with God.
Speaker A:Not when you are grinding, hustling, like culture says, but when you're flowing and walking in the capacity of love, in the capacity of character and the capacity of the fruits of the spirit.
Speaker A:Love, joy, patience, long suffering.
Speaker A:Because you notice the difference.
Speaker A:Because the output is going to be health.
Speaker A:Because healthy fruits grow and they reproduce other healthy fruits.
Speaker A:When you work for God, you don't have any fruit really.
Speaker A:And all the fruit that may come from you is bad fruit and that grows and reproduces.
Speaker A:And then the answer comes really down to just one thing.
Speaker A:You know, do you want bad fruit or good fruit?
Speaker A:Do you want to be burnt out?
Speaker A:Or do you want to operate in the flow of God?
Speaker A:Because here, here's the, here's the idea, here's the thing.
Speaker A:God is more interested in who you are becoming with him than he has ever been interested in who you.
Speaker A:What you're producing for Him.
Speaker A:Let me say that one more time.
Speaker A:God is more interested in who you are becoming with him, more than he has ever been interested in what you are producing for Him.
Speaker A:Because when we work with God, we are rooted in identity.
Speaker A:And when you are already loved, you work from a place of love, you work from a place of, I'm already chosen, I'm already adopted.
Speaker A:You just show up completely different.
Speaker A:But that.
Speaker A:This begs the question, like, why do we backslide?
Speaker A:Why do we not get a hold of this?
Speaker A:Why do we have so many problems?
Speaker A:And, you know, but let's be honest about it, number one, if it's the high Achiever trap.
Speaker A:Because many of us are high achievers.
Speaker A:We have brains that keep going and we want to keep up with it.
Speaker A:But here's the thing, like we know how to organize, we know how to lead, we know how to build, we know how to make money.
Speaker A:All these things, that's a gift.
Speaker A:Don't just don't ever, you know, play, downplay the gift.
Speaker A:But the enemy loves to twist this into overworking, into an addiction, to work, into, into.
Speaker A:You're addicted to the dopamine the work gives you.
Speaker A:So you do everything to do to work and you neglect the other, other things God's calling to like your family or like your, your miniature, whatever that looks like for you.
Speaker A:The other thing is the trauma rewiring.
Speaker A:And this is if, if we were praised for performance as a child, we, we talked about this earlier in the episode.
Speaker A:We just learned that striving and achieving is what gets us love.
Speaker A:And if we ignore this, it creates this deep, deep seated insecurity and this trauma response that we have to keep creating or we feel like we won't be loved.
Speaker A:And we learned that being needed, being loved is strictly, strictly connected to what we do and what we produce.
Speaker A:Now if whatever you're leading the matter, whatever you're leading on the outside, it may look holy, but on the inside it's absolutely got shredded nervous system.
Speaker A:It's emptiness, it's bitterness.
Speaker A:Because the only thing we're looking for when we're, when we're trauma responding is we're looking for somebody to tell us we're proud of, they're proud of us.
Speaker A:And that's what we're looking for.
Speaker A:When the reality is God is already in our corner, we don't need anybody else to say that they're proud of us.
Speaker A:Because the truth comes back to many of us are not serving God.
Speaker A:We're chasing the well done, we're chasing the proud of you.
Speaker A:We're chasing the accolades, we're chasing the affirmation because we never got it from the earthly fathers that we had.
Speaker A:The third thing comes into spiritual culture now.
Speaker A:This is, this is a, this is a soapbox I will happily get on and die for.
Speaker A:Because, you know, we always hear the harvest is plentiful, the workers are few.
Speaker A:You know, we hear this a lot.
Speaker A:And although that's true because it is in the word, it is absolutely true.
Speaker A:What happens is there's a twisting to it and we start believing that it is sinful to ever stop harvesting.
Speaker A:But the truth of the matter is, is that God is not Impressed with spiritual exhaustion.
Speaker A:He's not impressed with burnout.
Speaker A:He is not checking scorecards in heaven.
Speaker A:He's looking for trust, obedience, and love.
Speaker A:And here's the kicker.
Speaker A:Sometimes trust is like, I'm going to rest because I trust you to take care of the things and that you said you were going to take care of.
Speaker A:Let that sit in your nervous system for a little bit.
Speaker A:We got to retrain our nervous system to believe that if God is who he says he is, and I believe he is, then we've got to trust that he will do what he says he's going to do.
Speaker A:And I believe he will.
Speaker A:So therefore, we got to retrain our nervous systems to say, you know what?
Speaker A:If I rest, it will be okay because God said it will be fine.
Speaker A:So here's the kicker.
Speaker A:How do we move from working for God to working with God in a real Monday morning kind of way?
Speaker A:Let me give you a couple quick steps.
Speaker A:If you know, if you've been taking notes, get here in the Holy Spirit journaling.
Speaker A:This is something you really want to go ahead and take notes on.
Speaker A:Or you can check some of the show notes.
Speaker A:Number one, we need to ask better questions.
Speaker A:One of the things we often ask ourselves is God, what would you have of me today?
Speaker A:What would you have me do?
Speaker A:That's working for God, but working with God may ask, Lord, what are we doing together?
Speaker A:How are we partnering?
Speaker A:How are you partnering with me today to do your will?
Speaker A:Now try this when you wake up first thing in the morning, because it frames your day.
Speaker A:Jesus, I am here.
Speaker A:I am yours.
Speaker A:What is on your heart for me to carry today?
Speaker A:And what is not mine to care?
Speaker A:Because the fastest way to step out of striving is to ask God, what is not my job for today?
Speaker A:Because it just as much as is important to know what you're here to do, it's always important.
Speaker A:And it's just as important to know what you're here not to do.
Speaker A:Both create boundaries and parameters to keep you steady and in and in sync with God.
Speaker A:So the second thing is redefine what success looks like.
Speaker A:Because success, sure enough, is not volume.
Speaker A:Success is being in alignment with the Word, being in alignment with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:And a day where you obeyed a small assignment is more successful in the kingdom of God than a day when you did 100 impressive things that nobody asked you to do.
Speaker A:Because, well, maybe, maybe you borrow this definition.
Speaker A:Success today is simple.
Speaker A:Hear God, trust God, obey God, rest in God, period.
Speaker A:And that's maybe your.
Speaker A:Your success.
Speaker A:But we have to redefine success and make it not about volume, but make it about following the will of God.
Speaker A:God, what would you have me do in my business?
Speaker A:What, what, what, what does success look like, Lord, maybe you asked that too.
Speaker A:And then we're also going to embrace the.
Speaker A:The pause, the rest.
Speaker A:If you have ever had a history of burnout, if you're close to burnout, your body will naturally drift towards rest.
Speaker A:If you fight that and you burn out, you will never recover the way you think you were recovering.
Speaker A:And you will be in this constant cycle of burning out quicker.
Speaker A:But here's the deal.
Speaker A:Rest is an act of spiritual warfare.
Speaker A:So if you want to war in the spirit, learn to rest.
Speaker A:Learn to fight from a place of rest.
Speaker A:And that will give you the edge you need in order to partner with God and to complete what he is having you do.
Speaker A:But always check with Him.
Speaker A:Like, don't just assume.
Speaker A:Check with him, because he will tell you when the rest.
Speaker A:He will tell you when to move.
Speaker A:Because here's the thing.
Speaker A:Rest is not what you do after you finish God's work.
Speaker A:Rest is part of how you do God's work.
Speaker A:And you've heard me say it.
Speaker A:If you listen to the show for any length of time, we fight from a place of rest, not forward.
Speaker A:Rest is not a reward.
Speaker A:Rest is a right that God has given us a blessing.
Speaker A:And the last one real quick.
Speaker A:Pay attention to internal signals.
Speaker A:You know, those red flags.
Speaker A:We're working with God.
Speaker A:Because when you work for God, it ignores the body.
Speaker A:You push through the dizziness, you push through the knots.
Speaker A:You miss meals, you struggle with anxiety because you're working for God, because you're trying to work up the results.
Speaker A:You're never going to find peace with that.
Speaker A:You're going to find this place of constant anxiety.
Speaker A:Constant trying to solve your anxiety.
Speaker A:But God might be inviting you to slow down.
Speaker A:Maybe you have to grieve some things, not serve harder, serve healthier.
Speaker A:So I want to speak directly to the person listening who is tired of being tired.
Speaker A:Is that you guys?
Speaker A:Are you tired of being tired?
Speaker A:You love God.
Speaker A:That is not the question.
Speaker A:You want to serve faithfully, and you're doing it the best you know how.
Speaker A:You're doing what you've been taught to do, but your body is breaking down and you don't understand why.
Speaker A:I want you to hear this as if God may be saying this to you himself.
Speaker A:God did not hire you.
Speaker A:He adopted you.
Speaker A:That's Romans 8.
Speaker A:God adopted you.
Speaker A:You are his family.
Speaker A:You're not his staff.
Speaker A:You're not a spiritual employee trying to keep your position.
Speaker A:Your son is.
Speaker A:You're a daughter.
Speaker A:And if everything you did for God stopped tomorrow, your identity in Christ would never change.
Speaker A:Not one inch, not one iota, not one centimeter, Nothing.
Speaker A:Because from that place, you are free to work with him, free to dream with him, free to rest with him.
Speaker A:Because that is where steadiness comes from.
Speaker A:That is where peace comes from.
Speaker A:That is where the Unshakable life is built.
Speaker A:And if you're listening to the Unshakable Life podcast, this is the money maker.
Speaker A:It's the steadiness that's built on the rock.
Speaker A:Not in heroic overworking.
Speaker A:You're sacrificing yourself for nothing, but in the quiet, consistent partnership with God, who carries the heavy yoke, who's the owner and just calls you to steward.
Speaker A:Well, but here's, here's where we're going to leave you.
Speaker A:If this episode pokes something a little tender, little, little like, ooh, you know, you felt that thing.
Speaker A:Take one step tomorrow, don't do all of them.
Speaker A:Take one step.
Speaker A:And I would highly encourage you to take the step of Lord, what are we doing to get today together?
Speaker A:That's the step.
Speaker A:And if you know someone who quietly is burning out who you see, oh, he's working for God.
Speaker A:Now be careful not to go and judge because the Bible does say, you know, take care of the plank in your own eye before the speck in theirs.
Speaker A:So be careful.
Speaker A:But if you see somebody who's really struggling, send this episode to them because we're going to do this together.
Speaker A:We're not alone, my friends.
Speaker A:And with all of that being said, thanks for joining me on the Unshakable Life podcast.
Speaker A:Keep walking, keep listening, keep choosing to work and partner with God who already chose you.
Speaker A:Thank you for spending this time with me on the Unshakable Life podcast.
Speaker A:My prayer is that today's conversation helps you to build resilience, reclaim peace, and step with courage into your God given calling.
