Episode Summary

Have you ever felt like your relationship with God started to feel more exhausting than life-giving?

In this episode of Life Reclaimed, Kim, Brenda, and Cindy talk honestly about the tension between spiritual discipline and spiritual burnout. Together, they explore what it means to pursue spiritual health without falling into pressure, perfectionism, performance, or shame.

From Sabbath rest and hearing God in the middle of a noisy world to navigating difficult seasons where spiritual habits feel hard, this conversation is a reminder that closeness with God was never meant to feel like earning His love.
