Escaping Spiritual Exhaustion - Michael John Cusick - 145 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry

If we're feeling spiritually exhausted, as if there's a disconnect between what we preach and teach about the abundant life in Christ and what we are currently experiencing, where do we turn? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Michael John Cusick. Michael is the CEO and Founder of Restoring The Soul, an intensive counseling ministry. He's a licensed professional counselor and a spiritual director who served in vocational ministry for many years. Together, Michael and Jason explore the gap that ministry leaders often experience between what they believe about the divine love of God and what they experience in their own lives. Michael then provides a beautiful insight into the difference between being bad and being broken and how this understanding can impact your life, your relationship with Christ, your relationship with others, and your ministry.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:

Michael John Cusick on the inner struggles and the challenge to overcome the barriers we place against receiving and giving love freely: "We have a proclivity to not trust love."

Michael John Cusick on the importance of embracing vulnerability, trusting God, and allowing Him to use every part of our story for His glory and our good: "Our brokenness doesn't need to be a barrier… our brokenness can be a bridge to the abundant life."

Michael John Cusick on the significance of acknowledging our need for God’s grace, rather than relying on our own strength or resources, to experience the abundance and blessings He offers: "The only way that you can buy in the economy of God is to acknowledge that you're impoverished."
