In 2005, I found myself in a hospital totally burned out. At the time, I didn’t know it was burnout but after a week of (invasive, ahem) tests, they ruled out any disease. I was overweight, emotionally unstable, and isolated.
Dr. Rainer and I talk about some burnout symptoms and how he almost got to a point of burning out himself.
One of the most important questions I’ve ever been asked: “Does working in this church interfere with your communion with Christ” still influences me today.
Check out today’s interview with Dr. Thom Rainer of LifeWay for Beating Burnout: A 30 Day Guide to Hope and Health (which is on sale at Amazon for just 2.99 through Friday or you can preorder the paperback here!)
