How to Maintain Pastoral Zeal while Avoiding Pastoral Burnout

Selected Scriptures  (ID: gs1121)

How can burnout be a problem in ministry when Christ Himself encouraged His followers to give up everything for the sake of the Gospel? Christopher Ash explains that there is a vital difference between living sacrificially for Jesus and pursuing our calling in a way that leads to mental and physical exhaustion. When Christian leaders bear in mind that we are created by God from dust and that all of our endeavors are dependent on Him for success, we are reminded that Gospel ministry is a humbling privilege and are enabled to rejoice that we are recipients of God’s grace in Christ Jesus.
