Life gets heavy.
And if we’re honest, most of the time we carry far more than God ever asked us to.

In this episode of The Buddy Foy Jr. Show, I wrestle openly with the tension between faith and fatigue — between knowing what scripture says and still trying to handle everything on my own. We unpack powerful passages from Psalms, Matthew, and 1 Kings, including Elijah’s collapse in the wilderness, to explore what it actually looks like to give our burdens to God instead of carrying them alone.

This isn’t a polished theology lesson. It’s a real-time workout in what I call the Jesus Gym — sweat, mistakes, sore muscles, and all. We talk about:

• Why we struggle to give burdens to God
• What Jesus meant when He said His yoke is light
• How God often sends people before He sends answers
• The danger of isolating in the wilderness
• Discernment between godly counsel and worldly noise

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or trying to be strong for everyone else — this episode is for you.

You don’t have to carry it alone.
And you were never meant to.
