Ever find yourself overwhelmed, checked out, and emotionally eating pretzels at 10pm while binge-watching videos you don’t even like? Same.

In this episode, I walk you through my personal 6-step spiral—from “just tired” to spiritually numb—and explore how this quiet cycle of disengagement, shame, and isolation plays out more often than we care to admit.

We’ll talk about:

• How the spiral starts (usually with your calendar)
• Why shame sounds so convincing
• What triggers your slide into numbness
• And how to actually break the cycle—without pretending you’ve got it all together

It’s real, it’s redemptive, and yeah… it’s kind of funny in a “laugh so you don’t cry” sort of way.

You’re not stuck. You’re not alone. And the Father is still running toward you.

You want to love people well. You want to show up, be present, offer mercy. But what happens when helping starts to hurt—and you’re the one burning out?

In this episode, we’re diving into the raw and often-overlooked tension between compassion and compromise. Drawing from the short but weighty book of Jude, we’ll explore how to walk with those who are struggling, doubting, or even rebelling—without losing yourself in the process.

Whether you're the exhausted encourager, the recovering fixer, or the Christian who wonders if boundaries are unloving, this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about what it means to show mercy with fear, to rescue without becoming the kindling, and to trust that God—not you—is the Savior.

Have you ever offered solid advice—only to watch it get ignored? In this episode of Sunday Ripple, we explore the tension of being the expert in the room without having the authority to make the final decision. Whether it’s in ministry, the workplace, or family life, knowing what’s best but not being able to act on it can be frustrating and discouraging.

Through personal stories, biblical insight, and a few laughs, we’ll talk about how to navigate that space with humility, grace, and patience. We’ll look at the life of David, the leadership of Jesus, and what it means to serve faithfully behind the scenes—even when your ideas don’t get used.

If you’re struggling to stay engaged when your wisdom goes unnoticed, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up, trust God’s timing, and remember that influence doesn’t require a title.
