Episode Notes:

Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed?

Not just physically tired—but emotionally, spiritually, and mentally drained? Like everything in your life is being shaken at once?

In this episode of Morning Light, Mike Franklin addresses what psychologists call chronic inner fatigue—that deep exhaustion that builds over months of pressure, overcommitment, grief, and relentless responsibility.

Drawing from Mark 6, when John the Baptist was beheaded and the disciples were worn down from ministry, Jesus gave a simple but powerful instruction:

"Come aside by yourselves… and rest a while."

When life feels like a salt shaker turned upside down, when you can't relax, can't sleep, can't stop checking messages, and feel like you must keep up at all costs—Jesus offers another way.

This episode explores:

• The difference between physical tired and soul fatigue

• The warning signs of burnout

• How overactivity can poison your spirit

• Why rest is not weakness—but obedience

• The healing power of stepping away with God

If you're in danger of burning out… if you're endangering your health, your family, or your relationship with God because you "can't slow down"… this message is for you.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is come aside—and rest.
