Ep 14 - When You've Lost Your Joy

Get this week's free download: Joy Guide  

In this episode, I’m talking about something burnout quietly steals from many Christian women: joy. Not the surface-level “smile and keep it moving” kind of joy, but the deep inner joy that gives you strength, hope, and the desire to keep dreaming.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, uninspired, emotionally flat, or like you’re just going through the motions, I want you to know you’re not alone. Burnout doesn’t just wear out your body. It can numb your spirit and make life feel gray.

I’ll also share why joy matters spiritually, how the enemy targets it, and how God restores it. I’ll explore the difference between purpose, calling, and assignment, and how losing passion doesn’t always mean you’re in the wrong place. It may mean God is inviting you into realignment, renewal, and a new season.

If you’ve been tired for a long time, this episode will help you begin taking small steps toward joy again, without guilt, pressure, or overwhelm.

Key Points

You’ll discover how to:

• Recognize joy as spiritual strength and understand why burnout attacks it.
• Identify the signs that joy has gone quiet, even if you’re still functioning.
• Understand the difference between purpose, calling, and assignment (and why this matters).
• Recognize when you may be clinging to an old assignment that God is ready to shift.
• Reignite joy through small, intentional steps that restore your spirit.
• Trust God as a Restorer who can revive what burnout has buried.
