The Unwanted Awards, Part 1: I Never Asked For Help Award // Forrest Jenan

You’ve been holding it together for everyone—at work, at home, in your relationships. You smile. You show up. You push through. But beneath the surface, you're tired. The kind of tired that comes from pretending you're fine when you're not, and carrying burdens you were never meant to carry alone. We’re starting our series The Unwanted Awards with a trophy too many of us have earned: The “I Never Asked for Help” Award. If you’re exhausted from pretending you’re okay, Forrest Jenan talks about how Jesus meets us—not at the end of our performance, but at the start of our honesty. The real strength you’re looking for doesn’t come from pushing through—it comes from finally letting go.
