Doing More for God Is Not Always Doing Your Best for God, Ft. Drew Worsham | The Good Fight
from The Pioneer Assembly · host Bethany Barr Phillips
You can be doing a lot for God… and still be running yourself into the ground. We’re continuing our Good Fight series on Pioneer Assembly—a place together for those called to go—and this conversation is one many people don’t realize they’re already in the middle of. In this episode, we sit down with Drew Worsham to talk about healthy rhythms, burnout, and how easy it is to become spiritually and emotionally unhealthy without even realizing it. We explore the subtle ways hustle can disguise itself as faithfulness—and why exhaustion is not a badge of honor in the Kingdom. You don’t have to be in vocational ministry to have questions like: Have I confused being busy for God with being faithful to God? How do I know when obedience turns into overextension? Why is it so hard for me to rest without guilt? We also look at 1 Kings 19, where Elijah—after a powerful spiritual victory—crashes emotionally and physically. And instead of pushing him forward, God meets him with rest, provision, and presence. This episode is for anyone who feels: tired but still pushing called but overwhelmed faithful on the outside… but empty on the inside If that’s you, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, realign, and rediscover a pace with God that is actually sustainable. The goal isn’t just to start strong. It’s to finish well. Follow on Instagram or Youtube Follow Bethany Book Bethany
