#41 | You’re Not Tired—You’re Under-Challenged

Episode Summary

Fatigue isn’t always physical—it’s often a lack of mission. In this episode, Mikel challenges you to find clarity, carry weight, and anchor yourself in God-given vision.

Episode Notes

Not all exhaustion comes from overwork—sometimes it’s the drag of being under-challenged. In this episode, Mikel draws from Proverbs 29:18 and Patrick Lencioni’s wisdom to reveal why people crave responsibility more than just a job. He unpacks the importance of having a clear mission, seasons of push and pull, and asking God for a fresh burden rather than just relief. Whether you feel stuck in monotony or running on empty, this is your call to clarify your “why” and step back into the challenge you were wired to carry.

Episode Transcription

You might not be tired—you might just be under-challenged. In this episode, Mikel reminds us that not all fatigue is physical; sometimes it’s the weariness of lacking mission. Drawing from Proverbs 29:18 and Patrick Lencioni’s insight that “people crave responsibility,” he explains how clarity of vision fuels perseverance. Seasons of push and pull are normal, but living in constant push mode isn’t sustainable. If your days feel dull or your mission feels flat, ask God for a fresh burden—not just relief—and step into the challenge you were wired to carry.
