Left unaddressed, burnout can slowly take our joy and disconnect us from the very calling that once set our hearts on fire. But Scripture offers us a picture of what faithful presence looks like in the face of deep weariness.
As we prepare to celebrate our Savior’s birth, it’s our joy to share a spoken word poem from Rooted’s Director of Ministry Development, Isaiah Marshall.
God leads many of us to trails off the beaten path – cancer, mental illness, autism, a rebellious teen, a child with medical challenges. What then should we do?
Even when your son feels stuck, God isn’t. He’s still moving, still shaping, still pursuing, and he loves your child even more than you do.
In God’s goodness and kindness, he provides us with a community of believers to help bear the load. Even better, he gives us himself, the only one who is strong enough to carry our burdens for us.
Parent, God delights in your small offerings, even when they’re interrupted by children’s voices calling out for another need.
Our students matter—not because of their personality, popularity, or performance, but because the King of the stars loved them enough to die for them.
When we see how our heavenly Father treats his people, we find a clear picture that can help us balance grace and discipline.
As we encounter students who need our loving correction, we must remember that Jesus died to save sinners, including our teenagers.
