Even in ministry, zeal without rest can lead to burnout. Pastor Philip De Courcy points to Elijah’s struggle under the juniper tree to remind us that physical exhaustion often fuels spiritual discouragement. God’s care for Elijah—through rest, food, and renewal—teaches us the importance of stewarding our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.
In this episode of So True, you’ll be encouraged to balance service with self-care, to honor God not only with your spirit but also with your body. Don’t neglect sleep, nutrition, or laughter—because if you “kill the horse,” you won’t be able to deliver the message.
