đ Episode 2 Summary: The Weariness of a Long Season
In this second episode of the Seasons of the Soul series, Danny talks about how exciting new seasons can quickly lose their shine. Using the story of his wife Elizabethâs joy in decorating at the start of each seasonâand her weariness by the endâhe draws a parallel to our own spiritual and life journeys.
We often begin jobs, relationships, or even ministries with energy and hope, only to grow tired as the days and challenges drag on. But weariness doesnât mean failure. Scripture reminds us in Galatians 6:9 not to give up, because at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we keep going.
Danny offers practical ways to endure long seasons: being honest with God, setting smaller goals, leaning on community, practicing rest, and keeping our eyes on the promised harvest. He reminds us that God gives strength to the weary, and even when we feel drained, His promises remain unshakable.
âš A message of endurance and encouragement for anyone tired of the season theyâre in.
