Many women know God loves them.
They believe the Scriptures.
They have real faith.

And yet, they are still tired.

In this episode of The Wholehearted Woman Podcast, we explore the tension so many believers live with—the gap between what we know to be true and what we are actually experiencing in our daily lives.

Why does striving persist even when faith is strong?
Why does rest feel elusive when we trust God?
Why can we understand our pain and still feel unable to break free from it?

Together, we talk about how the heart forms beliefs through pain and survival, how those beliefs can remain active even after our minds are renewed, and why healing requires more than insight—it requires presence.

Through personal reflection, pastoral insight, and Scripture, this episode gently invites you to slow down and consider what your heart may still be carrying—and how Jesus meets us not with pressure, but with rest.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” spiritually, yet still feel weighed down, this episode is an invitation to let God come near to the places that are tired.
