Jesus, I’m Still Pouring… But I’m Dry

Jesus, I’m Still Pouring… But I’m Dry

You’re still showing up.
Still serving.
Still pouring into others…

But inside? You’re dry.
Not just tired—empty.
And wondering, "Jesus… how much longer can I do this?"

In this honest conversation with my pastor, we’re talking about what most people in ministry feel—but few are allowed to say out loud.
This isn’t a polished highlight reel.
It’s raw.
It’s real.
It’s for the ones who feel like they’re running on fumes.

We talk about:

  • Leading through spiritual numbness

  • Mental health and ministry—what pastors aren’t saying

  • The lie that leaders can’t fall apart

  • What it means to obey when you feel nothing

  • And how grace doesn’t shame you—it meets you in the dry places

Dry doesn’t mean done.
Silence doesn’t mean God is absent.
Jesus never pulls away—it’s us who drift. But He’s still right there, unshaken and unmoved.

🎧 Listen now—because even when you’re empty, Jesus will never be.
Run to the Living Water.
He’s not afraid of your burnout—He’s the One who restores it.
He’s near to the weary, ready to refresh your soul.
You don’t need to be strong—you just need to be honest.
