Ministry has become an increasingly challenging vocation because of the unique leadership dynamics in the local church setting. Studies show that between 50% - 85% of Pastors leave ministry within the first 5 years out of seminary. Key factors include that Pastors were not well connected, did not see matters of soul care and self-discipline as important, and were not able to effectively manage or resolve conflict. We become emotionally unhealthy thus affecting relationships; we do ministry in our own strength leading to burnout. Churches are only as healthy as their leadership. Burnout is our emotion’s way of putting on the brakes and bringing high-achieving, goal-oriented persons to a stop before they self-destruct physically and emotionally. We will discuss how to recognize and confront burnout and then focus on a strategy to avoid burnout, enabling you to lead from a position of health and stability.
