Synopsis "Pastor Burnout: You can Overcome"
Pastors and other ministry leaders are often under so much stress that they may find themselves just hanging on by a thread, about to burnout from exhaustion or blow out morally. Pastor stress today is enormous. The expectations that people put on their pastors - and that pastors put on themselves! - can be debilitating. Everywhere pastors go they are expected to be "on" - ready to give stellar leadership, unending compassion, an inspiring message, anointed prayer, and words of encouragement. As we minister to others we may become over stressed, depressed, or caught in compulsive and sinful behavior. Or we may find themselves feeling spiritually dry, tired of ministry, angry at God, stuck in our spiritual life, or burned out. My hope is that through this book you will be able to determine what are some of the causes of burn out, am i burning out, and if you are burning out what are some things you can do to get back on track and finish the race well. God bless you dear friend as you serve His Kingdom well. 2nd Timothy 4:7-8I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
