Do you constantly feel exhausted, as if the world rests entirely on your shoulders? Society teaches us that we are completely responsible for defining and sustaining our own success. However, this endless pressure to achieve eventually leads to crushing burnout. In this message from Zechariah 4, guest pastor Ben Rush invites you to finally lay down your burdens: God’s grace, not your own might or power, is the only thing you need to thrive today.
