About Burnout

About Burnout

"As I slowly recovered from the burnout incident here's what the Lord taught me:

 * Focus on the Lord's definition of success.  Ministry isn't about numbers.  It's about faithfully preaching, teaching, and loving the people.

* Seek help from a mature Christian friend or Christian counselor when appropriate.

 * Share the load ~ with staff, elders, deacons, and trusted friends and members.

* Don't neglect your spiritual, physical and mental health."

 

[Christopher Ash, "ZEAL without BURNOUT"]
