Leading When You Have Nothing Left

As the end of the school year approaches, it’s not uncommon to feel worn out, stretched thin, and wondering how to keep going. In this honest and hope-filled episode, Josh Baldwin and Kaitlyn Caffrey talk about what it looks like to keep leading well even when you feel like there’s nothing left in the tank.

 

Together, they unpack the life-giving invitation Jesus offers in Matthew 11:28-30 and reflect on the difference between physical and spiritual rest, what it means to “come to Jesus,” and how to partner with Him in both work and rest. If you’re tired, this one is for you.

 

💬 Kaitlyn also shares a set of powerful reflection questions based on Matthew 11 to help you reset and realign your heart:

Reflection Questions from Matthew 11:28–30:

1. “Come to Me…”

   How am I doing at coming to Jesus right now? (Rate 1–10)

2. ”…all who are weary and burdened…”

   What is the biggest burden I’m carrying right now?

3. ”…and I will give you rest.”

   What might rest from Jesus look like in this specific situation?

4. “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me…”

   What might Jesus be trying to teach me right now?

5. ”…for I am gentle and humble in heart…”

   How is that different from what my behavior says I believe about Jesus’ heart?

6. ”…and you will find rest for your souls.”

   Would I be able to say with integrity that I’m living in a season of freedom and lightness? Why or why not?
