    From Victory to Exhaustion: What Elijah Teaches About Burnout and God’s Voice Ep. 31

    Have you ever walked through a season that should feel like a victory… but instead you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or even discouraged? In this episode of the Faith and Work Podcast, we take a deep dive into the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 16–19, a powerful biblical example of what it looks like to experience both spiritual victory and emotional burnout. Elijah saw God move in miraculous ways calling down fire from heaven, defeating false prophets, and witnessing undeniable power. But just moments later, he ran in fear, felt alone, and even asked God to take his life. If you’ve ever: Felt drained after a big win Questioned your calling Struggled to hear God clearly Wondered why you feel low after success This episode is for you. We’ll walk through the context of Elijah’s story and unpack three powerful truths you can apply to your everyday life and leadership: 🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why burnout often comes after breakthrough How God meets us in both the mountaintop and the valley The importance of community after big moments How to recognize God’s voice not in the noise, but in the still small voice Why you shouldn’t confuse the loudest moment with God’s presence 📖 Key Scripture: 1 Kings 16–19  Focus on Elijah, King Ahab, Jezebel, and Mount Carmel 💬 Key Takeaways: The same God who was with you in the fire will be with you after the fire Isolation after victory is dangerous community matters God doesn’t always speak in big, dramatic ways Sometimes… He speaks in a whisper. If you’re feeling spiritually tired, mentally drained, or unsure of your next step, this episode will encourage you to slow down, listen, and remember you’re not alone.

    Buried, Not Broken with Mia Godfrey Ep. 28

    What does it really mean to start over, in a new country, a new language, and a completely different work culture? In this episode of Faith & Work, I sit down with my dear friend Mia Godfrey, who shares her powerful journey from Romania to America and the quiet strength it took to rebuild her life from the ground up. Mia opens up about growing up in Romania, where community, family, and dignity in work were deeply woven into everyday life and how different that felt when she arrived in the United States. From navigating language barriers to facing cultural misunderstandings that often felt dismissive or disrespectful, Mia shares honestly about the challenges of adapting to American work culture. Throughout it all, faith became her anchor. We talk about how trusting God in unfamiliar spaces gave her the courage to keep showing up, how vulnerability creates real connection, and why welcoming others especially those who feel unseen can change the course of someone’s life. Mia’s story is one of resilience, grace, and hope, beautifully captured in her book Buried Not Broken. This conversation is a reminder that our differences are not weaknesses and that faith, when lived out, can bridge cultures, workplaces, and hearts. ✨ If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, struggled to find your place, or wondered how faith shows up in hard seasons this episode is for you.   Buried Not Broken on Amazon   Buried Not Broken on Audible
