In this raw and heartfelt episode, Paula and Melinda open up about the painful reality of nursing burnout—what it feels like, what causes it, and how faith can make all the difference when exhaustion sets in

With honesty and compassion, the hosts discuss the emotional and spiritual toll that constant caregiving can take—especially when working short-staffed, witnessing suffering, or pouring from an empty cup. They explore the biblical story of Job, a man who faced unimaginable loss and suffering yet remained anchored in God’s presence. His journey becomes a mirror for nurses navigating burnout and spiritual fatigue.

Together, Paula and Melinda unpack encouraging Scriptures that speak to perseverance, renewal, and the promise that God is near even when we feel empty. They also reflect on a timely article from the Journal of Christian Nursing that offers practical and spiritual insight for weary caregivers.

With personal stories, biblical wisdom, and prayerful encouragement, this episode offers hope and help to nurses who are fighting to keep going.
