You may have noticed that I took a little time off from posting in the last couple of weeks. The truth is that I have been feeling overwhelmed and burned out. If times weren’t so turbulent, perhaps I wouldn’t have felt the need for a break; but in case you hadn’t noticed, my country has been a bit of raging dumpster fire for the last year. Witnessing the United States descend into an authoritarian regime has taken its toll on my mental health; and that’s on top of the normal stressors of my life, like looking for a new job and a rather packed calendar of church meetings and events. I discovered that I was running on fumes and that it’s just not sustainable. My brain has felt rotted and numb.

Thanks for reading Incarnate with The Jacked Priest! This post is public so feel free to share it.
