Approaching Burnout

High sustained stress

Complexity and rapid switching of roles

Dr. Richard Deschon one of the leading experts on job analysis concluded that 64 personal competencies are required to perform all the required tasks of a local church pastor. He concluded that “it is almost inconceivable to imagine that a single person could be uniformly high on the sixty-four distinct knowledge, skills, abilities, and personal characteristics.”

  • Few deep friends
  • Theological — Christian Work Ethic — a distorted view of Kenosis
  • The cultural definition of success — money & people vs completion of an assignment

Blindness

Limited transparency: Acts 4:31 boldness = parresia – The person who speaks with parresia will say everything that is on his mind with no restraint, flowing out of his heart with confidence. It involves being frank and honest, hiding nothing and speaking directly to the heart.

Signs of burnout: holidays not being able to rest, insomnia, withdrawn from critical conversations, nothing in the tank, wobbly fences, blood test, realisation I must be sick?

3 Components of burnout — see my article

  • High Depletion
  • High Detachment
  • Low work satisfaction

Beyond burnout

Recognition and Rest

A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.

Recovery and Restoration

Ps 23:3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,[a] I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.

– the role of my mentor – guide, protect, comfort

questions – building self-reflection, gaining self-awareness, outcome strengthening resilience

Repurposed and Replenished

Ps 23:5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.

Two Key Preventions

Dr Chris Adams – APU
A. A mentor who knows the signs and can say I see them.
B. Building emotional intelligence, becoming self-aware.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1605098341292{padding-top: 3rem !important;padding-bottom: 3rem !important;background-color: rgba(78,196,164,0.08) !important;*background-color: rgb(78,196,164) !important;}” el_id=”profile”][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1605097360144{padding-top: 2rem !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6″][norebro_heading module_type_layout=”on_left” subtitle_type_layout=”bottom_subtitle” subtitle_offset=”10px” heading_type=”h2″ title=”SGVhbHRoJTIwb2YlMjBhJTIwQ2hyaXN0aWFuJTIwTGVhZGVyJTIwUHJvZmlsZSUyMDMuMA==” subtitle=”SG9saXN0aWMlMjBhbmFseXNpcyUyMG9mJTIwbGVhZGVyJTIwaGVhbHRo” subtitle_typo=”font_size~18px||letter_spacing~2||weight~700||uppercase~1″ mobile_title_typo=”font_size~40||line_height~40||weight~inherit” title_typo=”font_size~60||line_height~60||weight~inherit” title_color=”#60c4bc”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” gap=”20″ content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1605150147469{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}” el_id=”profile”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1621420135087{margin-top: 2rem !important;margin-bottom: 1rem !important;}”]

Monitor well-being and establish a path to greater health.

The Profile of a Healthy Christian Leader helps leaders by taking a holistic health snapshot. It gives you feedback about who you really are and points out what you might overlook or misunderstand about yourself.

You’ll identify both your personal strengths and areas for personal growth and development.

Upon completion of this assessment, you should have a more accurate and realistic picture of yourself. This picture can help you become healthier and navigate your leadership responsibilities.
