  • What to Do When You Don’t Feel Motivated
    Feb 4 2026

    Have you ever waited to feel motivated before you start something important — and then felt stuck when that motivation never came? Do you find yourself thinking, “I’ll begin when I feel better… when I’ve got more energy… when the timing feels right”? And quietly, the days just keep slipping by?

    In this gentle and encouraging episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson speaks to that very place of weariness many of us know so well.

    This episode is for you if you’re tired, flat, unsure, or struggling to get moving — not because you don’t care, but because you’re waiting to feel ready.

    Ken shares a simple but freeing reminder God taught him this week: we’re not meant to rely on motivation or good feelings before we begin. Instead, God invites us to simply turn up — and trust that He will provide the encouragement and strength as we go.

    In this episode, you’ll be gently guided to:

    • Let go of the pressure to feel motivated before you act
    • Understand why faithfulness matters more than feelings
    • Discover how God often meets us after we take the first step
    • Find reassurance that showing up tired is still showing up in faith
    • Take one small, practical step into the week ahead without overwhelm

    This isn’t a lecture or a pep talk. It’s a calm, pastoral conversation — like a trusted friend sitting with you over a cuppa, reminding you that God is patient, present, and walking beside you.

    If you’re feeling low on energy, uncertain, or quietly discouraged, this episode offers space to breathe, reset, and take the next step — not in your own strength, but in God’s.

    Press play and let this episode gently carry you into the week ahead.

  • How to Find Strength When You’re Feeling Exhausted
    Feb 3 2026

    Have you been waking up already tired, knowing the day hasn’t even started yet?

    Do you ever wonder how long you can keep showing up — for work, for family, for others — when your energy feels low, and your heart feels stretched?

    Maybe you’re doing all the right things on the outside, but inside you feel worn thin.

    In this episode of The Week Ahead, Ken Robinson speaks gently into that very place.

    Finding Strength When You’re Tired but Still Showing Up is a quiet, reassuring conversation for anyone who feels exhausted but can’t simply stop. It’s for the parent, the carer, the worker, the friend — the person who keeps going even when it feels hard.

    Ken discusses the kind of tiredness that sleep doesn’t fix. The tiredness that comes from responsibility, from caring deeply, from staying steady through long seasons. He reminds you that God sees the faithfulness that often goes unnoticed — the small, daily acts of turning up when it would be easier to withdraw.

    This episode doesn’t push you to try harder or dig deeper. Instead, it invites you to slow down, breathe, and find strength that doesn’t depend on your own reserves. Ken reflects on how God meets us right where we are — not with pressure, but with grace that’s enough for today.

    You’ll be encouraged to release the weight of carrying everything at once, to take the next small faithful step, and to trust that God’s strength often shows up as “just enough”.

    If you’re feeling empty, stretched, or quietly weary, this episode offers calm reassurance and practical hope for the days ahead.

    Take a few minutes to listen. Let yourself reflect. And carry something gentle and steady with you into the week ahead.
