Whether you’re a minister or not, you probably spend countless hours caring others, and even more time identifying ways to care for others. Throw a crisis in the mix and compassionate hearts begin racing while servant’s hands tirelessly move from need to need.
Be careful. Burnout is a real thing.
It may feel as though you are simply tired, but there is more happening than you realize.

I hope you will spend 25 minutes as he identifies and discusses four things essential to surviving ministry during this crisis.
- Extraordinary prayer
- Resilience without stoicism
- Radical refocusing
- Gospel resolve
