EP 35 | What does Discipline Look Like When You’re Exhausted?
What does faithfulness look like when your energy is gone and your motivation has dried up?
In this reflective episode, Jonathan Kindler explores the tension between discipline and exhaustion, confronting the quiet myth that diligence means perfection and that tiredness equals failure. Blending Scripture, counseling insight, personal storytelling, and cultural observation, this episode reframes endurance as dependence, presence, and faithful direction rather than endless output.
Through biblical anchors like 2 Timothy 2, Galatians 6, Psalm 37, and Isaiah 29, Jonathan exposes how spiritual performance can replace genuine abiding, and how burnout often reveals not a lack of faith, but a misplaced understanding of discipline. With honesty and grace, he invites listeners to move away from pressure-driven follow-through and toward a faithfulness rooted in relationship with God.
Whether you’re worn down by responsibility, struggling under false guilt, or quietly wondering if you’re falling behind spiritually, this episode offers clarity, relief, and a more human vision of discipline—one upheld by grace, not driven by fear.
