Episode 452 - Christian Weariness and Resilience with Tish Harrison Warren
How do we keep going when we find ourselves exhausted, spiritually weary, or in a season that feels like a desert? And what can the wisdom of ancient Christian traditions teach us about developing resilience in the midst of modern life?
Tish Harrison Warren is an Anglican priest and author who writes about the ordinary practices that shape our life with God. In her book, "What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience", she explores the ancient wisdom of the desert fathers and the spiritual practices that can sustain us when we feel burned out, disconnected, or weary. Rather than offering a quick escape from difficult seasons, Tish invites us to discover how stability, prayer, and community can help us remain rooted in God when life feels dry.
In this episode, Davey and Tish talk about what Christian resilience looks like in seasons of weariness and exhaustion, how ancient Christian practices can speak into modern burnout and disconnection, and why choosing to remain present and rooted in community can shape us spiritually through difficult seasons.
If you’ve ever felt spiritually exhausted, struggled to keep going through a desert season, or wondered how to stay connected to God when you’re weary, this episode is for you.
"How do we hold stability in a way that also holds hope and isn't just kind of like this stoic or despairing kind of resignation? And how do we hold joy and rest in the middle of that?"
