77% of people in ministry say they have experienced burnout. Here are a few things that might keep you out of that statistic and wondering what that burning smell is.
-
Don’t take yourself too seriously
-
Don’t do anything for someone that they can do for themselves
-
Take time off
-
Develop a hobby
-
Exercise
-
You can’t do God’s part, You can’t do someone else’s part, You can only do your part
-
Don’t be a lone ranger, build a team
-
Find a way to get enough sleep
-
God 1st, Family 2nd, Ministry 3rd
-
Spend time with God, have an active devotional life
-
Join a small group (but don’t lead one)
-
Be a Mentor, have a mentor
-
Laugh
These are not in order of importance. You have to do that.
