#120 | You’re Not Exhausted—You’re Under-Nourished

Episode Summary

Sometimes what feels like burnout isn’t exhaustion—it’s a lack of spiritual nourishment. In this episode, Mikel shows leaders how to refill their souls before they run dry.

Episode Notes

After experiencing a day of low energy, Mikel realized his issue wasn’t fatigue—it was lack of nourishment. In this Daily Fox Fuel, he parallels this physical moment with spiritual truth: leaders often pour out endlessly without refilling intentionally. Drawing from Psalm 23:3, he reminds listeners that God restores our souls through scripture, prayer, worship, rest, and silence. Even Jesus withdrew regularly—not because He was weak, but because He was wise. This episode calls leaders to pause, refill, and reconnect with the presence of God before pushing ahead.

Episode Transcription

Mikel shares how a day of low physical energy revealed a deeper spiritual reality: he wasn’t exhausted—he was under-nourished. Leaders often pour out constantly without refilling through scripture, prayer, worship, rest, and silence. Psalm 23:3 says, “He restores my soul.” Even Jesus regularly withdrew to pray because He understood the importance of staying filled. Before you grind harder today, pause and let God replenish what’s been depleted.
