When the Strong One Break Down: Finding Strength in Surrender

Have you ever felt like the one who has to hold it all together?

You’re the one people go to for help, advice, support, prayer… but when was the last time you felt held? In this deeply honest episode of Marriage, Ministry, and Me, we’re diving into the reality so many women face but rarely say out loud: even the strong ones break down.

Rooted in the powerful promise of Isaiah 40:31, we explore what it truly means to wait on the Lord when your strength is gone, your peace is scattered, and your soul is weary.

“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength... they shall mount up with wings as eagles.”

Whether you’re a wife trying to keep your marriage grounded, a mom pouring from an empty cup, or a ministry leader stretched too thin, you are not alone. This episode speaks directly to the woman experiencing spiritual burnout, carrying the pressure to “be strong,” and silently struggling with emotional exhaustion.

We’ll unpack:

• The hidden signs of ministry burnout and how it shows up in everyday life

• Why constantly trying to fix everything is not faith, it’s fear in disguise

• How to let go and let God lead without guilt or shame

• Practical ways to find rest in God even when life won’t slow down

• What waiting on God really looks like in a fast-paced, do-it-all world

Too many women are taught that their strength is what makes them valuable, but Scripture reminds us that our strength is renewed in surrender, not self-reliance. If you’ve been running on empty, crying behind closed doors, or wondering if God sees your weariness… this episode is for you.

Sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is admit you’re tired and let God carry what’s been crushing you.

We don’t just talk about the breakdown—we talk about the breakthrough. You’ll walk away with biblical encouragement, relatable stories, and the reminder that your identity is not in what you do, but in who God is for you when you have nothing left.

This isn’t just a podcast episode. It’s a lifeline for every woman who feels like she’s falling apart while trying to keep everything else together.

🖤 Listen now and be reminded: Even strong ones need saving. And God is near, ready to renew your strength one surrendered breath at a time. Podcast "When The Strong Ones Break Down"
