In our fast-paced culture, there’s a false belief that if we add more and more to our schedules, there will be no consequences. But that mentality often just leads to burnout. In this podcast episode, pastors Aaron Brockett and Ryan Bramlett have an honest conversation about the factors that lead to burnout, the ramifications of it, and the steps we can take to keep it from taking over. This episode has advice and encouragement for leaders, people in ministry, and anyone who’s running at a pace that’s not sustainable. God has built-in, natural rhythms of rest for us if we’ll accept them.&nbsp;Resources Mentioned:&nbsp;<ul><li>Barna poll: <a href="http://www.barna.com/research/pastors-quitting-ministry" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.barna.com/research/pastors-quitting-ministry</a>&nbsp;</li><li>At Your Best by Carey Nieuwhof&nbsp;</li><li>Burnout quiz: <a href="https://careynieuwhof.com/at-your-best-burnout-quiz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">careynieuwhof.com/at-your-best-burnout-quiz</a>&nbsp;</li><li>When by Daniel H.

How can you gravitate toward people who need the hope and help that only Jesus brings and make a life-changing difference?
