Burnout

Youth Ministry is challenging and as a youth leader, you may be burnt out and struggling. This open letter from Cassie Shermbeck is written for your encouragement.

As youth leaders, it is essential to develop and maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life and doing so allows us to better serve God and bless others in all areas. This article helps highlight ways that we can better balance how we serve and how we rest, especially for those who are professional church workers.

Burnout happens everywhere, in every job. It’s not just us in the church who need to be aware of burnout.

This article is for you, that person struggling right now and feeling alone. The person afraid to be vulnerable and admit what you’re really feeling.

Why are you in ministry?

I want to discipline myself, pace myself and take care of myself so that I can continue to serve God and His church far into the future.
