Episode Overstimulated, Touched-Out, and Trying Not to Lose It
Today's Scripture: Mark 6:31-32 **Today's devotional is in response to listener requests.** In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook reflects on Jesus’ tender invitation to come away to a quiet place and rest. She explores overstimulation, constant availability, and why honoring your limits is not a failure of love—it may be what helps you return to love. We explore: *Why overstimulation is often a capacity issue *How noise, touch, screens, interruptions, and emotional demands affect your nervous system *Why Jesus honors human limits instead of shaming them *How to step away from the noise without abandoning the people you love *Why quiet, rest, and spaciousness are so important Go Deeper: Episode 176: Intimacy with God in a Noisy World with Dr. Stephen Macchia Episode 122: Balancing Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health with John Mark Comer
