Episode 23 – Recognizing and Avoiding Burnout as a Leader (Part 2)

Hosts: Jay and Matt

Discipleship Leaders Podcast – Fellowship Bible Church

In Part 2 of this important conversation, Jay and Matt pick up where they left off in Episode 22—moving from recognizing burnout to recovering from it and building healthy rhythms for long-term leadership.

If burnout is the warning light on the dashboard, this episode is all about what to do next. Jay and Matt offer practical wisdom and ministry-tested tools for creating a leadership “system” that actually sustains you rather than drains you.

They discuss:

What it means to fill yourself up more than you pour out

The importance of knowing your limits and prioritizing commitments

Why “team ministry” helps lighten the load

Managing energy instead of just managing time

Learning and practicing real spiritual, emotional, and physical rest

Embracing seasons of rest rather than quitting altogether

Their encouragement: don’t just take a break—rebuild the system that leads to health, longevity, and joy in leadership.

If you’re feeling the weight of leadership or wondering how to keep going, this episode is for you.
