Preventing Burnout as Church Planters

Burnout is on the increase in vocational ministry. How do we begin to think about burnout in the life of the church planter when everything depends on one person to grow the church and help it to thrive? Is some kind of burnout not inevitable? But of course it doesn’t depend on one person. It is completely dependent on the Lord. In this seminar we will dip our toes in the water as we think about what burnout means for us personally. Where do we place our trust and how do we use our time? What is our responsibility and what is not? Have we cultivated a theology of rest that impacts the day to day choices we make? These are some of the questions we will be discussing in groups. There will also be time for some personal reflection.
