Why You're Feeling Spiritually Exhausted (And What To Do) with Levi and Jennie Lusko
Stay True with Madison Prewett TrouttShow Notes
This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with authors, pastors, speakers, and friends Jennie and Levi Lusko for a conversation about something so many of us are craving but struggle to find: true rest. In a world that constantly tells us to do more, hustle harder, and keep pushing, it's no wonder so many of us feel spiritually exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed. Together, they talk about what to do when your mind won't stop spiraling, how to trust God when it feels like He's silent, and why following Jesus doesn't mean life will always be easy. Jennie and Levi also share practical wisdom on fighting entitlement and discovering the kind of soul-deep rest that only God can provide. If you've been feeling worn out, discouraged, or simply running on empty, this conversation will remind you where real peace is found.
As always... be sure to stay you and stay true!
Topics we dive into: -Why do we feel so spiritually exhausted? -What do you do when your mind won't stop spiraling? -How do you trust God when He doesn't seem to answer your prayers? -How do you fight entitlement and cultivate gratitude? -What does true rest for your soul actually look like? -Why is God more concerned with who you're becoming than what you're doing?
