Have you ever felt burdened, broken, or burned out? If so, you’re not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I had the joy of sitting down with bestselling author Asheritah Ciuciu to discuss her new book, Delighting in Jesus: Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned Out.

In our conversation, Asheritah shares how life’s challenges—family dynamics, overcommitment, and external pressures—can rob us of the joy God desires for us. But the good news is that joy is not only possible but restorable.

Here are some of the takeaways from our time together:

• Joy is cultivated by spending time with Jesus, who is the ultimate source of delight.

• Burnout often stems from overcommitment and misplaced priorities, but God offers rhythms of restoration.

• Neuroplasticity shows us that we can retrain our minds to seek and experience joy through intentional spiritual habits.

• Asheritah outlines five powerful rhythms for joy: worship, word, whisper, wonder, and walking.

This conversation was a gentle reminder that we don’t have to navigate burnout and exhaustion alone. By turning to Jesus and adopting these life-giving rhythms, we can rediscover joy, even in the most difficult seasons.

I pray Asheritah’s insights inspire you as much as they did me. Let’s commit to finding joy in Jesus together and allowing His presence to transform our daily lives.

With love and gratitude,
Rachael
