Pastor Doctor: Understanding Burnout

Burnout is a real and somewhat common issue that pastors and ministry leaders are vulnerable to experiencing over time. Here's a quick list of the three common factors associated with clinical burnout...

Are you feeling:

1. Emotionally Exhausted, constantly fatigued or short-tempered, or emotionally numb or distant?
2. Depersonalization and isolation - are you viewing your workload with people as appointments to get through or avoid rather than personal connections? Are you preferring to isolate yourself from people?
3. Feeling like a failure or a reduced sense of accomplishment - like your efforts and work is not meaningful or effective.
