Stoop Theology S1 Episode 11: Not Everything Is Yours to Fix
What if your exhaustion isn’t a sign of weakness, but rather that you were never meant to carry the weight of everything? In this episode of Stoop Theology, we explore the theology of limits and what that means for how you show up for good without burning out.
Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.
