An Exhausted Faith:
What If the Struggle Isn't Spiritual?
An Exhausted Faith is a conversation filled with hope. Exhaustion can arrive at your doorstep for many reasons. Your faith was never meant to be one of those reasons. If you are exhausted from a try-harder faith or simply desire to find a peace that will sustain you even when surrounded by chaos, An Exhausted Faith asks: What if the struggle isn't spiritual? Through storytelling, trauma-informed neuroscience, and compassionate insight, An Exhausted Faith will help you make sense of the struggles that may be making your life far more exhausting than it needs to be.
What Endorsers Say . . .
An Exhausted Faith is the gentle, validating deep breath our weary faith communities have been crying out for. For anyone who has ever felt too weary to pray, too triggered to sit in a pew, or too fragmented to feel loved, this book is an invitation to finally come home to your body and your Creator.

An Exhausted Faith is one of those books I needed in my life during the season I was asking, “Why does this hurt so much?” Now, this well-penned gift can be yours, a cozy reminder that it’s ok to struggle – there’s not something wrong with you, and you can feel whole again.

For those of us raised in fundamentalist Christian households An Exhausted Faith provides a gateway to healing from the religious trauma we may have experienced.

An Exhausted Faith helps us understand that science and spirituality are not at odds, but beautifully interconnected. The invitation is not to try harder, but to experience safety, regulation, and relationship, within ourselves and with God.
