Episode 118: Jesse Urban from Be Still Retreats

Burnout is real—and it's affecting far more people than we realize. In this episode of Wild Faith, we sit down with Jesse Urban, co-founder of Be Still Retreats, to talk about his faith journey, the calling behind Be Still, and the growing crisis of burnout among pastors, ministry leaders, and everyday men. We dive into the importance of rest, why so many people struggle to slow down, and how God often meets us in the stillness. Jesse shares the story behind Be Still Retreats, the mission of helping those who spend their lives serving others, and the upcoming Rest in the Riser event in partnership with HHA USA aimed at addressing clergy burnout through faith, fellowship, and the outdoors. Whether you're a pastor, a husband, a father, or simply someone carrying more weight than you should, this conversation is a reminder that rest isn't weakness—it's part of God's design.   Jesse's Links: Be Still Retreats: https://bestillretreats.org/ Rest In The Riser (Registration): https://www.strideevents.com/events/rest-in-the-riser-3d-archery-shoot/2026/register Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestillinc/ HHA USA: https://www.hhausa.org/events/   Wild Faith Podcast Links: Store: https://www.wildfaithpodcast.com/category/all-products Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildfaith/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wildfaithpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WildFaithPodcast
