He sees you, He’s with you, and He will carry you through.</p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://vehementawakening.captivate.fm/episode/when-youre-ready-to-give-up-hes-not-letting-you-go]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">de42789e-97aa-49ea-b155-a79fa510e9be</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/b0e5b4ce-1ec7-411a-89a3-f1c0a3a4edcb/FKUXyqWZz0ZchYeIFeL2DJvZ.jpg"/><pubDate>Fri, 08 Aug 2025 06:30:00 -0500</pubDate><enclosure url="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/de42789e-97aa-49ea-b155-a79fa510e9be.mp3" length="11409452" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>07:55</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:episode>8</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>8</podcast:episode></item><item><title>Joy in the Middle of the Mess</title><itunes:title>Joy in the Middle of the Mess</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>When life feels anything but joyful, James 1:2 reminds us to <em>consider it joy</em> in the trials—not because the pain is easy, but because God is at work through it.

But God’s Word says otherwise. In this episode, we explore the tender invitation Jesus gives us in Matthew 11:28—to come to Him and receive deep, soul-level rest. This is for every weary heart that needs permission to breathe, to slow down, and to be renewed by the One who carries it all. Are you running on empty? Let's talk about the soul-deep weariness that doesn’t go away with a full night’s sleep. If you’re tired—mentally, physically, spiritually—this one’s for you. Let Jesus meet you right where you are and offer the kind of rest that revives everything life has drained.</p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you’re drained and worn out from life’s constant demands, it can feel like admitting you need rest is a sign of weakness.
