Have you ever felt like you’re just done—like you love Jesus and you love serving, but you’re completely worn out and wondering if you can keep going? If so, you’re not alone. Ministry burnout is real, and it doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human.
In this episode, I want to sit with you in that feeling and remind you that you don’t have to give up on ministry altogether. I’ll walk you through three super practical steps you can take right now to pause, breathe, and reset before burnout takes over. These aren’t fluffy or complicated—just simple, tangible rhythms that will help you step back into ministry with a healthier heart and more energy.
If you’re tired, drained, or on the verge of throwing in the towel, this one’s for you.
