Faith encouragement is for the days you feel drained, numb, and like you have nothing left to give. In this episode, Alana shares what it looked like to move from overwhelmed to overflowing in the middle of a divorce, church hurt, and a season where everything felt shattered.
Alana describes it like this: she wasn't just empty, she felt like all her jars and buckets had been smashed. She couldn't even catch the good moments. And then God reframed it as grace. He wasn't punishing her, he was protecting her. Some seasons aren't for collecting. They're for being washed, being held, and letting the mess be until it's time to rebuild.
We talk about:
- Why "doing more" can keep you stuck in overwhelm
- How to recognize a season where it's okay to sit down in the ashes
- The difference between conviction and shame, and why both don't sound the same
- Malachi 3 and what faithfulness can look like when you feel like you have nothing to give
- How worship shifts the atmosphere when reading feels dry and your strength is gone
- Adjusting expectations without lowering standards or tolerating sin
- Practical ways to lighten the load, re-evaluate relationships, and stop carrying what God never asked you to hold
This conversation is honest, hope-filled, and deeply practical. If you're overwhelmed, you're not failing. You may be in a season where God is doing something quieter and kinder than you expected.
And if you're ready for one small step today, start here: submit your plans and expectations to God daily. Take up your cross, follow him one day at a time, and trust that his step-by-step leading will carry you from drained to overflowing.
