Why Your Faith Feels So Heavy Right Now (You’re Not Alone)

If your faith feels heavier than it used to, you’re not alone.

You still believe.
You still love God.
But it feels harder to focus… harder to pray… harder to stay present.

Many Christians today feel spiritually tired, mentally overwhelmed, and quietly discouraged—and they don’t know why. This video isn’t about guilt or trying harder. It’s about understanding what’s shaping our minds, why discouragement feels so common right now, and how Scripture calls us to respond with clarity, rest, and hope.

In this episode of Behind the Mike Podcast, we talk about:
• Why spiritual exhaustion doesn’t mean weak faith
• How distraction and discouragement subtly reshape our thinking
• The difference between conviction and condemnation
• What the Bible says about guarding and renewing the mind
• How to fight back without burning out or drowning in shame

This is a pastoral, honest conversation for anyone who feels worn down but still wants to follow Jesus faithfully.

👉 You’re not broken. You’re not failing. And you’re not losing your faith.
