When was the last time you felt exhausted from a day’s work only to have a friend or family member say, “Hey would you mind helping me with …?”

If anyone understands that feeling, it would be Jesus, after 24 hours of meeting the needs of his followers. 

Today I’m talking to Rachel Lovingood, a friend from my new hometown.

Rachel and I take walks together. During one of our walks, we shared all that we had going on in our lives. When I told her that the needs of others kept being added to my list, interrupting what I needed to do and how tired I was, she shared some insight into a day in the life of Jesus that changed my perspective.

I invited Rachel over to sit down and join me on the podcast so that it could bless you as well.

Jesus shows us by example, in Mark 6, that we need to find our strength and renewal from God and look differently at interruptions.

TELL ME:

How often are you interrupted by the needs of others?  Cell reply and share how you respond to their need.

A 5-Day Reflection on Walking With Grief

Join me on this 5-Day journey. Grief can feel so isolating, and my prayer is that what you find here reminds you that you are not alone. When you sign up, for the next 5 days, you’ll receive Comfort in the Silence — short reflections with Scripture, encouragement, and simple prompts to help you pause, remember, and rest. Take them at your own pace. Some days you may linger, and that’s perfectly okay. You'll also be subscribed to my email newsletter where I share encouragement and stories from this side of grief.
