In this episode of Prescription for Purpose, we expose how burnout, spiritual disconnection, and emotional exhaustion are often the result of spiritual misalignment, not lack of effort. God isn't punishing you—He’s pruning you to protect your stamina, preserve your fruit, and realign your pace with the Spirit.

We unpack:

Why “leaves without fruit” (Mark 11) might be draining your calling
How pacing is a spiritual discipline rooted in Galatians 5:25
The danger of confusing busyness with fruitfulness
What grapevines, pruning shears, and Jesus’ own timeline teach us about sustainable growth
Why permissible ≠ profitable (1 Corinthians 10:23)

If you’ve been feeling stuck, burnt out, or overwhelmed—even while serving, building, or “doing the most”—this episode will help you discern what needs to be cut, redirected, or reconstructed.
