Many missionaries live in a cycle of spiritual striving and internal disintegration—even while faithfully serving. The result? Burnout, weariness, and a haunting sense that something is off, even if they can’t name it.This conversation gently opens the door to a new way of living. Our guest is Cheryl Scanlan—Master Certified Coach, director of Promised Land Living, and author of The Way of Rest. Together, we unpack the deep internal exhaustion that so many missionaries experience, and the quiet fragmentation that can happen when identity gets wrapped in ministry activity. Cheryl walks us through her seven-step process to move out of striving and into wholeness, rest, and delight in Christ.If you’re longing for more than just surviving, this episode offers powerful insight and practical steps toward soul-deep restoration.
