WYAH 2: The Lies We Tell Ourselves

Many of us were taught that faithful ministry means giving until there's nothing left. John gently challenges that assumption. Drawing on scripture, neuroscience, and his own experience, this episode explores the difference between empathy and compassion, why those two words matter more than we might think, and how some of the stories we've inherited about ministry can quietly pull us toward exhaustion. Rather than asking us to care less, John invites us to care differently. It's a conversation about boundaries, rest, and rediscovering a way of serving that reflects the life of Jesus instead of simply rewarding endless sacrifice.
