When Following Christ Feels Dutiful

Soul Talks With Bill & Kristi Gaultiere

All of us have experienced times when serving Jesus feels like a burdensome duty instead of a joyful delight. This realization feels confusing and concerning—often leading us to rely more heavily on our own abilities and become irritable or exhausted. But Jesus uses the "walls" we hit to invite us to pause, slow down, and surrender to the deep and beautiful he is doing inside our soul!

Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi explain what's happening when spiritual disciplines and serving others become obligations you should do instead of practices you want to do. You can be renewed by engaging in an inner journey of deeper honesty and life-giving intimacy with Jesus.
