COMMENT “LISTEN” and we’ll send you the full episode.
In Episode 3 of Soul Care Conversations, Lacey Mason dives into some of what we learned from our qualitative research with missionaries and leaders in the Global South.
One of the most heartbreaking themes?
No one told them they would need to care for their own souls.
Instead, many absorbed messages like:
If you’re tired, it’s not enough.
If you’re called, you’re unstoppable.
If you’re struggling, maybe you weren’t anointed after all.
When exhaustion becomes spiritualized, weakness feels like failure. And when striving replaces abiding, burnout isn’t far behind.
This is an honest conversation about twisted theology, unrealistic expectations, and what it actually looks like to follow Jesus as a human being.
