Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Check out our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video in what we call Project23. Our text today is Judges 8:4-9. And Gideon came to the Jordan and crossed over, he and the 300 men who were with him, exhausted yet pursuing. So he said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.” And the officials of Succoth said, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?” So Gideon said, “Well then, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will flail your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.” And from there he went up to Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way, and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered. And he said to the men of Penuel, “When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower." — Judges 8:4-9 Gideon and his 300 men are worn down. They've already fought a miraculous battle against Midian, but the fight isn't over. They're chasing the kings who escaped, and Scripture paints the raw picture: “exhausted yet pursuing.” Instead of finding support from fellow Israelites, they get rejection. The men of Succoth and Penuel refuse to help, essentially saying: “Prove you've won first.” Imagine the sting—hungry, weary, and now doubted by your own people. Yesterday, Gideon had to handle criticism with humility. Today, he must handle weariness with perseverance. Both require a leader's heart anchored in God. Life rarely slows down when you're beaten up and beaten down. The bills still come. The kids still need you. The conflict at work doesn't wait until you're rested. And sometimes, just when you need encouragement most, people let you down instead. That's where this story hits home hardest. Exhausted yet pursuing sometimes describes the believer's life. Following Jesus will sometimes push you beyond your limits, and you'll face opposition, even from those you thought would help. Perseverance isn't about never getting tired—it's about trusting God enough to keep moving when you are. Gideon kept pressing forward because his confidence wasn't in his strength or people's support—it was in God's promise. If you're worn out and tempted to quit, remember: your exhaustion doesn't mean you're defeated. It might mean you're right on the edge of God's breakthrough. ASK THIS: Where do I feel “exhausted yet pursuing” in my life right now? Do I let people's criticism or lack of support slow me down? How does trusting God help me press on when I feel empty? What might it look like for me to take one more step of faith today, even tired? DO THIS: Identify one place you feel worn out right now. Instead of quitting, take one small act of obedience today—trusting God for the strength to carry you further than you think you can go. PRAY THIS: Lord, I'm exhausted. But I don't want to quit. Strengthen me to keep pursuing Your call, even when I feel weak, even when others let me down. Help me trust You for every step. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Give Me Faith."

Ever feel exhausted right after a major breakthrough? Elijah called down fire from heaven, then immediately wanted to give up. Sometimes our greatest victories leave us most vulnerable to weariness. The key isn't avoiding rest, but it's learning to abide in Christ while we recover. Are you seeking God's hands or His face?

Psalm 61

Podcast Title: Faith When You're Tired: Finding Rest and Renewal in a Weary WorldHosts: Greg Richter and Laura J. AxelrodOpeningBrief welcome and introduction of topic: “We're talking today about what to do when you feel just plain tired — not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally tired from everything happening in the world.”Acknowledge the collective fatigue many believers feel.Segment 1: Naming the WearinessShare a personal story or recent moment when you both felt overwhelmed by the news or world events. Middle East/perpetual issue, Russia/Ukraine, other hotspots, US political climate, divisive Talk about how even faithful Christians can grow discouraged.Scripture connection: 1 Kings 19:4–8 — Elijah's exhaustion and God's gentle response.Key idea: God meets us in our weariness, not after we've “pulled it together.”4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough. Now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.”5 He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”6 He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again. 7 Yahweh's angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”8 He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God's Mountain.Segment 2: Rest as a Command, Not a LuxuryExplore Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28–30 — “Come to me, all who are weary…”Discuss the biblical concept of Sabbath — trust, not laziness.Share how you each find spiritual rest: prayer walks, unplugging, worship music, journaling, etc.28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”Segment 3: Faithfulness Over Fixing the WorldDiscuss how easy it is to feel guilty for not “doing enough.”Recenter around Micah 6:8 — act justly, love mercy, walk humbly.Encourage focusing on small, faithful actions: caring for neighbors, showing kindness online, mentoring others.Reflection question: “What's one area where we can serve with peace instead of panic?”He has shown you, O man, what is good.    What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly,    to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?Segment 4: Hope in a Tired WorldScripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 — “Though outwardly we are wasting away…”Discuss hope as an anchor, not an escape — believing that God is still writing history.Share personal ways you renew hope: worship, fellowship, gratitude lists, remembering answered prayers.16 Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory, 18 while we don't look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.  ClosingSummarize main takeaways:Weariness is part of being human.Rest is a spiritual practice.God calls us to faithfulness, not omnipotence.Hope is alive because Christ is.Scriptures are quoted from the World English Bible.This guy gets it: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1370076668014225Greg Richter is an award-winning journalist and unapologetic theological gadfly, exploring where faith, culture, and curiosity collide.

Our text is Exodus 9:1: Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, so that they may worship me.” In 1901, Dr. Girdner coined the term “Newyorkitis” to describe an illness whose symptoms included edginess, quick movements, and impulsiveness. It was a condition of the mind, body, and soul affecting many New Yorkers. That was a world without the internet, high-speed cars, or computers. Our world has only sped up. I wonder what he would say about us. Speed has become a god. Our culture generates in us an endless pursuit of greater security and greater happiness; a pursuit always unsatisfied because we have never gotten or done enough. This god is accompanied by the god of the market that summons us to endless desires and needs that are never met but always require more effort. The advertising god in service to the market god always offers one more product for purchase, one more car, one more deodorant, one more prescription drug, one more cell phone, one more beer. We are harassed by many Pharaohs who kept reminding us of the inadequacy of our lives. Constantly, we see signs that we do not measure up yet, haven't quite arrived, haven't yet reached our potential, haven't been recognized by quite the right people. Weariness, being heavy-laden, carrying an ill-fitting weighty yoke are all ways of speaking of those serving these gods of endless productivity. We have become worshippers of a system of gods that leaves us permanently restless. Into that system God says, “Let my people go, so that they may worship me.” The God of the Bible is a Sabbath-keeping God, ensuring that restfulness and not restlessness is at the center of life. Sabbath becomes a decisive, concrete, visible way of opting for and aligning with the God of rest. We must choose the gods of restlessness or the God of restfulness. Jesus declares to his disciples, “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” (Matthew 6:24). The way of money is the way of endless desire, endless productivity, and endless restlessness without any Sabbath. Jesus taught his disciples that they could not have it both ways. God called Israel to depart from the Egyptian system to dance and sing in freedom (cf. Exodus 15). He calls us to do the same. Sabbath is not an idea but a practical art. We are conditioned to run at brick-making speed. God offers freedom. To cease, even for a time, the anxious striving for more bricks is to find ourselves with a “light burden” and an “easy yoke.” It is now, as then, enough to permit dancing and singing into an alternative life. Which will we choose? As you journey on, go with this blessing: Go to Jesus and he will give you rest and an easy yoke (Matthew 11:30). May the presence of God go with you and give you rest (Exodus 33:14).

Pastor Michael Field October 5, 2025 Psalm 119:25-40

Friends, I'm so excited to welcome back a repeat guest to the podcast—Scarlet Hiltibidal! Scarlet first joined me back in 2022 (Episode 43), and today she's here again to talk about her brand-new book releasing this week: Hopeful-ish: Sadness, Weariness, Donkey Attacks, More Sadness, and Other Stuff You Need the Gospel For.So much has happened in Scarlet's life since the last time we talked—moves, family changes, heartbreaking loss, and even unexpected joy. In this conversation, Scarlet shares honestly about walking through tragedy, wrestling with hopelessness, and clinging to the promises of God when life feels heavy. She talks about what it means to be “pressed but not crushed” (2 Corinthians 4:8–9), why Romans 15:13 has anchored her heart, and how the Lord shows up even when we feel distracted or weak.We even dive into the story behind the donkey attack (yes, really!) and how something so wild points us back to the truth that staying close to Jesus is the only way to experience peace and joy in this world.If you've been feeling weary, sad, or just weighed down by the last few years—you're not alone. Scarlet's story will remind you that God is faithful, His presence is real, and hope is a gift that comes from Him.

In this message, Minda teaches about how Esau was willing to forsake his birthright and inheritance for a meal to satisfy his natural need of hunger in his weariness. We can be the same way by giving up on our birthright in Jesus' Kingdom, and the inheritance and purpose He has for us because we get tired and weary. We are called to get the rest we need and value our spiritual needs above our natural needs, continuing to press into Jesus in the face of weariness so that we do not lose our spiritual inheritance or fall out of the raise altogether.

Galatians 6:7-9

This message is about leaning on the Lord's strength when you are weary.

Subject: Sunday AM Speaker or Performer: Pastor Sheerin Scripture Passage(s): Galatians 6:9 Date of Delivery: August 10, 2025

"In this sermon on Ecclesiastes 1:12–18, we explore the sobering conclusion of Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived: even the pursuit of wisdom, apart from God, is vanity. Though many today still believe that knowledge, reason, or philosophy can solve the world's deepest problems, Solomon exposes this as a “grasping for the wind.”

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron explore the growing weariness many Christians feel toward today's nonstop news cycle—from the emptiness of sensational headlines to the deeper cultural and spiritual implications of media overload. They reflect on why stories that once captivated now seem meaningless, and why skepticism toward both the news and its messengers is rising. The conversation then turns to the sobering allegations surrounding Michael Tate, former member of DC Talk and the Newsboys, prompting a hard but necessary theological reflection on celebrity culture within the Church, moral integrity, and the long-term impact of scandal on Christian witness. With thoughtful nuance, Nathan and Cameron bring a gospel-centered perspective to difficult questions about fame, faith, and how Christians should engage a broken culture without losing hope.

This week, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Hannah of First UMC of San Diego wrap up their current digital bible study conversation about the various forms of faith and how they may help us resolve heavy emotions that are running high for so many of us these days. Their focus in this conversation is weariness, as inspired by Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30. Ultimately asking: Have we made being a Christian too hard? The female pastors look closely at what actions truly make us a disciple of Christ, removing the unnecessary elements so you can be a Christian no matter where you’re at in life: love God, love your neighbor, and love yourself. They ask what sharing the yoke with Jesus means and looks like, as well as: How do we find rest without neglecting duties? How does distraction affect our energy? Is it more important to have learned knowledge or intuitive knowledge when it comes to knowing and experiencing God? It’s an interesting conversation that examines a wide range of topics. You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others: What distracts you from faith? Do you think the yoke of Jesus is easy? Why or why not? What would true spiritual rest look like for you? Our Patreon community is open to all – no matter where you align in your spiritual beliefs.

The antidote to weariness is prayer

Waiting on the Lord should be a daily thing

To wait means to look in expectation

Our strength is renewed by waiting upon the Lord

Our God never grows weary or weak #

Prayer

Let us intercede for one another

Locate the river(the Word of God) and sit by it

Intercession can save the life of the weary, who is praying for you?

Be aware that the goal of the enemy is actually to take you out completely

Spiritual weariness doesn't always announce itself with a crash—it often creeps in like a slow leak. You still go through the motions. You still show up. But deep inside, you're drained. You've prayed, fasted, fought, believed… and now you're just tired. And the temptation to let go feels stronger than ever.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 (ESV)God never denied that weariness would come. In fact, Paul's words here acknowledge the very real weight of doing good in a broken world. But the promise is powerful: if you don't give up… you will reap.That's not hype. That's harvest. God sees what you've planted in prayer. He sees what you've carried in silence. He sees every tear, every late-night intercession, every quiet act of obedience. And He's not ignoring it. He's growing something underneath the surface that you can't yet see.But in seasons of exhaustion, you don't need to “do more”—you need to hold tighter. Not to your own strength. Not to your routines. To Him.Sometimes, clinging to God looks like resting in His Word when you can't feel His presence. Sometimes, it looks like crying out instead of shutting down. Sometimes, it looks like letting others carry you for a while.You're not weak for being weary. You're human. And the Father knows your frame. He's not waiting for you to impress Him—He's asking you to lean on Him.So today, take one more step. Not because you feel strong, but because He is. And because in due season… you will reap.Question of the Day:What part of your life feels the heaviest right now—and how can you cling tighter to God instead of letting go?Mini Call to Action:Take five minutes today to speak Galatians 6:9 over your weary heart. Then text or call someone to pray with you. Don't carry it alone.Let's Pray:Lord, I'm tired. But I'm not giving up. Help me to hold on when everything tells me to let go. Breathe new strength into me. Help me trust the harvest that I can't yet see. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Weariness may come—but so will the harvest, if you don't quit.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Sunday, June 8, 2025 – Pastor Ryp Hankins delivers a timely message that is sure to meet you right where you are. It’s titled, “Walking Through Weariness.” Everyone will experience a period or periods of weariness in this life. It’s a guarantee of life, yet God’s promise of His faithfulness is stronger than the weariness that comes our way. The enemy is determined to wear you out, but listen to Pastor Ryp encourage you to place your trust in God and to commit to praying and worshiping your way through the times ahead. God has a plan, and His plan is to build you up and prepare you for the times ahead so that you can walk through them. Did you hear that? Everything in life eventually passes, especially the hard things. God’s plan is to strengthen you to walk through yours so that someday you may be able to help another walk through theirs. Be encouraged today as you worship and study along with us…

DateJune 1, 2025SynopsisThis week, we welcome special guest preacher Mallory Wyckoff, who first leads us in an imaginative exercise with scripture, inviting us to step into the story and feel its weight. We then explore how Jesus meets us in our deepest weariness and transforms the emptiest of places into spaces of abundance. Join us as we discover the power of trust in the deep places of our lives, where Jesus weaves nets of liberation and hope.ReferencesScripture: Luke 5:1-11About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

"Encouragement that Refreshes Weariness" - Sermon by Pastor Paul Frey - 2 Thessalonians 3

   We’ve all had the experience of TIME running much faster than we want it to, and sometimes we actually run OUT of TIME, or find ourselves far behind a time schedule. That is especially true in a rebuilding project, have you experienced that? Join me again please in Jerusalem about 2500 years ago. Everywhere you look at that time, dirt is flying, as the ruins of the demolition of the city of Jerusalem and the great Temple of God are being cleared and restoration begun! Yesterday we looked at Ezra’s description of the rebuilding of the huge Altar for Burnt Offerings on the Temple mount. (Ezra 3:2) In fact that reconstruction happened exactly on the foundation of the original Altar which had first been constructed there almost 500 years before by King Solomon!
