Burnout isn’t always a workload issue—it’s often a perspective issue. In this episode, Mikel shows how gratitude realigns the heart and revives passion.
Burnout doesn’t always come from doing too much—sometimes it comes from forgetting what a privilege it is to do what we do. In this Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel shares vulnerably about how gratitude fuels purpose and protects the heart from exhaustion. When we lose sight of what’s good, even blessings begin to feel like burdens. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:18, he reminds us that gratitude is a command and a recalibration tool for the soul. This episode invites you to shift from pressure to purpose, pause, and thank God for what’s already in your hands.

Mikel opens the episode expressing deep gratitude for listeners and explains that gratitude is the antidote to burnout. Burnout isn’t always about workload—it’s often about losing sight of what’s good. When we stop noticing God’s blessings, even good things begin to feel heavy. Gratitude recalibrates the heart and shifts our mindset from pressure to purpose. Referencing 1 Thessalonians 5:18, he challenges listeners to say three things out loud that they’re grateful for today.
