Are You Empty Enough? - Bishop T.D. Jakes
Summary
This sermon addresses the modern epidemic of emptiness, distinguishing it from mere tiredness. It explores how overwhelming exposure to news, personal struggles, and the constant demands from others can lead to a state of "compassion fatigue." The practical takeaway is to recognize this feeling of depletion, understand its roots in vicarious trauma and overextension, and realize that self-care, like sleep, is insufficient to refill this profound void.
