Why You're Really Tired of Church (It's Not What You Think)
If you're tired of church, exhausted by church life, or feeling spiritually burnt out, this daily Bible devotional reveals the surprising reason why - and how to reignite your passion for Jesus. It's not what you think.
Most Christians assume exhaustion means they're doing too much. But 2 Corinthians 9:2-3 and Revelation 3:15-16 reveal a different truth: sometimes we're tired because we're giving reluctantly instead of joyfully. When following Jesus costs you nothing, it means nothing - and eventually it bores you.
In this 5-minute Christian devotional, you'll discover:
✓ Why lukewarm faith drains your joy (and what Jesus really thinks about it)
✓ How to tell if you're burnt out - or just not burning
✓ 2 practical steps to get the fire back in your faith
✓ Why comfortable Christianity kills enthusiasm at work, home, church, and in your community
This isn't about doing more. It's about getting honest and choosing one costly thing that reignites the flame.
