How to avoid Burnout in Ministry

Our friends at Field Partner International have invited their long-standing friend Tony Horsfall to share his experiences and from the Bible on how to look after yourself if you are busy in ministry. Drawing on Biblical sources including the Sabbath and Jesus' own example of life and ministry, he also shares some of his experiences in this encouraging and practical video.

Tony shares tell-tale signs of approaching burnout, including (a) broken sleep, (b) a procession of minor illnesses and (c) becoming resentful of others, and calls for Christians to listen to these warning signs to practice the art of stopping to remember:

(i) Remember who we are - children of God, not earning HIs approval through ministry success 

(ii) Remember why we are here

(iii) Receive strength from God for the next phase
