In this episode I interview Sean Nemecek, author of the just-released book, The Weary Leader’s Guide to Burnout: A Journey from Exhaustion to Wholeness. In this episode we’re talking to pastors who are wondering if they might be dealing with burnout in ministry.
Sean walks us through the following steps:
- What is burnout, and why does it seem to be on the rise, lately?
- How do I know if what I’m struggling with is burnout?
- How do I take steps to recover from burnout?
- How do I protect myself from future burnout?
Sean also works with pastors through Pastor-in-Residence Ministries (PIRministries.org), where his primary focus is on coaching pastors through burnout and recovery.
