Preface
A Journey from Burnout to Breakthrough
I never thought I’d say this—but after a lifetime of being a Christian, I found myself completely burdened, broken, and burned out. On the outside, I looked like I had it together—smile in place, faith intact. But inside? I was running on empty. My soul was weary, my spirit restless, and the life I was living didn’t feel anything like the abundant life I kept hearing about.
And that’s when the weight of truth hit me: I was born into religion. Raised in it. Shaped by it. And, if I’m honest, caged by it. My upbringing in rituals and a religious system that posed as faith—though rooted in good intention —had crippled my spiritual sight and blinded me to the whisper of my own soul.
You see, I had mastered the art of playing church. I bowed when expected, sang when prompted, nodded even when I didn’t believe. I fitted the mold perfectly. But somewhere in the routine, something went missing. Immersed in Christian culture, I still felt a gnawing emptiness I couldn’t explain. Looking back, that performance was my greatest handicap. There was no honesty in it—only obedience to lines I rehearsed, not truths I lived.
Maybe you know what that feels like—going through the motions, checking the boxes, saying the right words, while inside your soul feels empty.
As a Pastor’s Kid, church was my second home. Sunday school, midweek services, worship rehearsals—I was always there, front row, hands raised, voice loud. I loved God… or at least I thought I did. But what I called faith was often just performance. Ritual. Routine. Religion.
Christianity had become a checklist, not a calling. Week after week the message was the same:
“Be good. Don’t sin. Don’t miss church. Repent. Avoid hell.”
But here’s the thing—hell never scared me as much as this did: living a powerless, purposeless life.
I was told God was all-powerful—and we, His children, shared in that power. But what I saw was the opposite. Believers barely holding it together. Tired. Afraid. Crushed. The people I saw were burdened, broken and powerless. We said we were “the head and not the tail,” but most of us lived like servants in a world we were meant to lead.
Joy, peace, power and victory sounded beautiful in sermons but mythical in real life.
Why? It bothered me deeply.
Society mocked Christianity as a crutch for the poor, the broken, the weak and the hopeless. Something people turned to when they had nothing left. And honestly, the church often proved them right. We preached authority but walked in defeat. We sang about peace and joy, but drowned in fear and sadness.
And I started asking the questions I was too afraid to say out loud:
Is this the abundant life Jesus promised?
Is this what it means to follow Him?
Is this really it? Or have we missed something crucial—something the early church knew, something that made their faith alive, powerful and unstoppable?
After nearly thirty years of being a Christian—faithfully attending church, serving, studying, and “doing all the right things”—I was found myself burdened, broken, and burned out.
I loved God. I truly did. But I didn’t love my life.
On paper, I had it all—a loving husband, a good job, a child on the way—yet I still felt hollow. Not because I lacked blessing, but because I lacked purpose. I asked myself: What am I truly here for? What legacy will I leave my child? That ache—that holy dissatisfaction—was a setup. I just didn’t know it yet. I didn’t need more success. I didn’t need more religion. I needed a shift.
When I looked around at fellow believers, they didn’t look like overcomers. They looked like the overcome. Not thriving — just surviving. Exhausted, joyless, just trying to hold it all together. And if I was honest, I looked the same.
Where was the encounter?
The kind that rewrote Abraham’s story, ignited Esther’s courage, sharpened Daniel’s vision, stirred David’s joy, and transformed Paul on the road to Damascus?
Why did my life feel so painfully ordinary—so far from the fire that burned in them?
It was the ache no one talks about.
Doubts crept in—dark, unrelenting questions I could no longer silence:
Was any of this truly worth it?
Was I put on this earth to follow rules, keep up appearances, and please other Christians—only to live an unfulfilled, powerless life disguised as “faithfulness”?
I started to wonder if maybe the problem was me. Maybe I wasn’t spiritual enough. Maybe I wasn’t praying hard enough. But the more I wrestled, the emptier I became.
I prayed. I fasted. I wept. I devoured Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. I studied the writings of spiritual giants. Still—nothing. No burning bush experience. No divine encounter. No voice from heaven. Just silence.
It felt like I was chasing a God who was too far, too silent, too hidden. And in the silence, depression whispered: “Maybe you’re the problem. Maybe you’ll never measure up.” This ache—this holy dissatisfaction—was a setup…
And one morning—everything shifted.
I stumbled on a verse I had read countless times before, but this time it struck me like lightning:
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3:2)
This time it wasn’t just black ink on white paper. Suddenly, the words came alive and arrested me. They leapt off the page and slammed into my spirit like thunder. My heart pounded. My knees went weak.
I had heard this verse before. I had memorized it. Quoted it. Heard it preached. But never—never—had it hit me like this.
This was no longer information or repetition. It was revelation. It was as if God Himself leaned into my brokenness and His voice echoed across eternity into my weary soul saying:
“The Kingdom is here. Now.”
Suddenly, everything I thought I knew about church, faith, and Christianity shattered.
I stumbled under the weight of this truth.
“What Kingdom?” What had I been missing all these years?
Scripture began to unfold like secrets in plain sight, drawing me to the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6: ‘Our Beloved Father… may the glory of Your name be the center of our lives; manifest Your Kingdom…’ (TPT)
And then the line that arrested me: ‘Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.’ —Matthew 6:10.”
Wait… “On earth”? Not later. Not someday. Here. Now.
Could it be that Jesus was teaching us to pray for heaven to invade earth—for the King’s realm to manifest here and now—through us? And if God is the King of a Kingdom… what did that make me?
Genesis 1:27 thundered back: “God created man in His own image…”
Could it be that I wasn’t made just to worship in the Kingdom, but to rule in it? To bear His image, reflect His nature, carry His authority? This revelation hit me like a tidal wave. I couldn’t breathe. My spirit leapt awake. And for the first time in my life, I realized: I hadn’t been chasing a distant God. I had been blind to a present Kingdom. All those years in church—all those sermons and Bible studies—yet no one had ever told me this. The Kingdom had been hidden in plain sight. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I wept. I trembled. I rejoiced.
That realization became the crack in my shell of religion—and once it broke, nothing could keep me inside it.
I became consumed. Night after night, I devoured every mention of the Kingdom. I traced the word “Kingdom” through every Gospel, ever parable, every prayer. And the more I studied, the heavier church felt: salvation reduced to ceremony, spirituality distilled into religion. There were more burdens than blessings, more ritual than relationship. I was burned out—hollowed out by legalism masquerading as faith.
So I stepped away from church for a season—not out of rebellion, but out of desperation. I needed to break the shell of religion and truly encounter God. I stepped into a wilderness of my own, like John the Baptist—a season to grow strong in spirit, to drink the milk of foundational truth and chew the meat of deeper revelation. I wanted to know the King of Glory, to live by every word that proceeds from His mouth, to see Kingdom power take root, peace take shape, and my purpose realign with His.
Three years passed before I realized it—as if I’d been dreaming. Truth became my oxygen—more life-giving than any accolade, more grounding than achievement. I wasn’t chasing rules anymore—I was hungry for revelation.
And what I discovered there turned my entire world upside down.
Jesus didn’t come to start another religion.
He didn’t come to give us rituals and rules.
He came to reintroduce a Kingdom.
His death and resurrection weren’t the message nor were they the end of the story—they were the doorway into it. He came to restore what Adam lost: A Kingdom, not a religion. A real Kingdom. Here. Now. Within reach.
A government. A realm of life. A system of peace, power, purpose, and prosperity.
And we? We were never meant to be passive churchgoers or spectators. We were created to be sons and daughters of the King—citizens of His Kingdom, carrying His authority to reign, create, and transform.
This wasn’t salvation just for the afterlife. It was dominion for this life.
When Jesus ascended, He didn’t leave us...
