You’re doing what you’re “supposed” to do—praying, showing up, serving, working hard—but the results still don’t match the effort. The exhaustion is growing, the resentment is creeping in, and deep down, you’re starting to wonder: Did I miss God?
In this episode, Dr. Sharla breaks down how survival mode and functional disobedience disguise themselves as faithfulness—and why God uses fruitlessness as a form of mercy, not punishment.
You’ll learn:
- Why your lack of fruit might be a divine signal, not failure
- How to spot when you're building what you can manage vs. what God assigned
- What Scripture teaches about sustainability, obedience, and divine delay
- Four pillars of sustainable living that realign your peace, pace, and priorities
- Why spiritual burnout is often a misalignment issue, not a motivation one
If you’re tired of wondering why obedience still feels overwhelming, this is your confirmation: God is inviting you to recalibrate, not perform.
