Many believers are deeply committed to faithfulness. They show up, endure hardship, and continue to serve—even when the inner cost quietly accumulates. Over time, strength that once sustained us can begin to feel heavy, not because we are weak, but because we have been carrying more than we were meant to carry alone.
In this pastoral and reflective episode of Rise with Brian Turner, Brian invites listeners to consider how strength, when disconnected from gentleness, can slowly become burdensome. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Spirit-filled pastoral wisdom, this episode explores the difference between faithful endurance and silent self-abandonment, helping listeners name fatigue without shame or self-judgment.
Rather than offering quick fixes or calling listeners to try harder, this conversation creates space to notice where strength may have turned into striving, and where responsibility may have replaced attentiveness to the Holy Spirit. Brian reflects on how Scripture consistently reveals a God who does not glorify exhaustion but invites His people into rest, renewal, and shared dependence.
If you are in a season when staying strong feels costly, when weariness has gone unnamed, or when faithfulness has begun to feel heavy rather than life-giving, this episode offers reassurance that acknowledging fatigue is not failure. It may be the first step toward receiving God’s sustaining grace more deeply.
Press play, slow your pace, and discover how God meets His people not only in endurance, but in the gentleness that restores strength without demanding more than we can bear.
