When You’re Tired of Being Strong…Do This | Kaitlin Chappell Rogers

What does it actually look like to keep going when you’re tired enough to quit? In this episode of the Still Coloring Podcast, Toni sits down with author and friend Kaitlin Chappell Rogers for a vulnerable, practical conversation about perseverance, failure, burnout, motherhood, rejection, obedience, spiritual warfare, and learning how to take life one next step at a time. Kaitlin shares the winding journey from broadcast journalism to writing, the dreams God asked her to surrender, and how some of the fruit she prayed for took nearly a decade to see. She also opens up about one of the darkest seasons of her life and the reality that perseverance does not always look strong or impressive. Sometimes it looks like finding one reason to stay for one more day. Toni gets vulnerable about her own fear of failure and how that fear can sometimes keep us from even starting the things God has called us to do. Together, they unpack the idea of everyday perseverance: You do not have to solve your whole life today. You do not have to carry tomorrow today. You do not have to eat the whole elephant. Sometimes you just need to ask: “God, what is the next right thing?” And then ask Him for the grace to do that. One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation is simple: Crawling still counts. If you are exhausted, burned out, scared to fail, grieving, overwhelmed, or wondering if you have enough left to keep going, this episode is for you.
