Excerpt from Chapter 1: Defining Faith Fatigue
Fatigue wears many masks. It shows up in the form of exhaustion after a long day, the burnout that comes from endless caregiving, or the mental fog of a world that moves too fast. But there’s another kind of fatigue—quieter, more subtle, and often more dangerous. It’s the kind of fatigue that creeps into your spirit and settles there like fog. It’s called faith fatigue.
Faith fatigue is more than being tired of church or feeling disconnected during prayer—it’s a spiritual weariness that makes you wonder if God still hears you or if you still have the strength to keep believing. It’s when worship feels like work, when the promises of God seem delayed, and when even opening your Bible feels like lifting a heavy weight.
I’ve been there.
There was a season in my life when I nearly threw in the towel—not just on ministry, but on God altogether. I didn’t lose belief; I lost connection. But it was in that wilderness, while studying Genesis 35, that something inside me was reignited. Jacob’s journey from Shechem to Bethel wasn’t just a relocation—it was a revival. His story became my roadmap.
God called Jacob out of compromise and back into His presence. He instructed him to remove the idols, purify his household, and build an altar—a return not just to Bethel, but to worship, to purpose, and to identity. That same call is going out to every weary soul today.
This book is not written from the mountaintop, but from the valley. It’s a conversation with the tired, the disappointed, the spiritually dry. And it’s a call—a call to rise, to return, and to rebuild.
Faith fatigue is real. But so is the God who restores.
“Then God said to Jacob, ‘Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.’”\n—Genesis 35:1 (NIV)
If you’re ready to leave Shechem behind and step into a renewed walk with God, this journey is for you. Let’s rebuild together—one altar, one act of obedience, one step of faith at a time.
