In this episode of the New Churches podcast, host Jeff Medders is joined by Adam Muhtaseb and Daniel Santander to tackle one of the most urgent and personal questions every church planter must face: How do I not burn out? As part of a season focused on the “how” questions of church planting, the conversation addresses the real pressures planters experience from the world, the flesh, and the devil, and why endurance in ministry requires more than passion and hard work. The discussion begins with practical wisdom on structuring a weekly schedule that promotes sustainability, then turns to the challenge of handling criticism with humility and resilience. Most importantly, the episode centers on the necessity of abiding in Christ, offering encouragement and guidance for maintaining a vibrant spiritual life in the midst of the demands of planting. Listeners will walk away with pastoral insight, practical rhythms, and gospel-centered encouragement to help them labor faithfully and last for the long haul.
