Burnout doesn’t happen because your pastor failed, your church is unhealthy, or no one stepped up to help. It happens when we believe we have no choice and keep serving under pressure instead of agency.

In this episode, we talk honestly about why burnout isn’t someone else’s fault, why that truth can feel uncomfortable at first, and why it’s also the doorway to real change.

You’ll hear:

1. The stories that keep us stuck in burnout without realizing it
2. Why waiting for leadership or circumstances to change rarely brings relief
3. How agency creates options (even when nothing else changes)
4. What it looks like to serve faithfully without burning yourself out
