Questions that listeners asked include:

* Q1: “I’m burned out and exhausted; is it time to call it quits?”

* Q2: “Help: my congregation is tired and lacking energy, what can we do to fix it?”

* Q3: “If I'm not preaching and teaching and doing everything, then who am I as a pastor? If I’m not at the center of things I don’t feel like I’m doing my job.”

*Q4: “What do I do when people in my congregation are at odds with one another, and with me? This is an election year when American society seems more divided than ever. How do I lead in this environment?”
