When the Strong Get Tired Too: Finding Rest in God’s Strength

In this heartfelt episode of Purpose of Heart: The Podcast, host Priscilla Allman speaks directly to the encouragers — the caretakers, prayer warriors, and steadfast souls who are always holding everyone else together. What happens when you, the strong one, grow weary?

Drawing from Galatians 6:9, Psalm 73:26, and Isaiah 40:29–31, Priscilla reminds listeners that even the strongest hearts need rest — and that God, not our willpower, is our true source of renewal. Through Scripture, gentle reflection, and practical steps, she invites us to pause, breathe, and receive the divine rest that Jesus offers in Matthew 11:28: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
