One thing we see people who have professional ministry coaches do, is have firm boundaries about their schedule and time.

The rest of us look like this.

When in burnout, you rarely know you're burnt out. I certainly didn't. I thought I hid my "issues" too (now I know they were symptoms).

Here's one Christian pastor who figured it out early and did something about it.

A 🧵

Our ED recently posted this thread on her personal socials. We couldn't agree more w/ her vision.

"A friend once said (in reference to COVID) that we, the Church, are in the middle of a resurrection.
I belive that to be true. But I find his vision to be so much bigger than what he envisioned.

Seminary also doesn't prepare you for the time the kitchen moves against you while the house manager keeps bringing you guest complaints that the dish they ordered isn't salmon when they ordered the NY strip.
It's no wonder 43% of clergy wanted to quit in 2023.

The Parsonage Project recognizes the challenges and burdens of those who experience #racism and #bigotry. We aren't happy with just "urging" action. We, along with our allies, demand it.

Our prayers are with Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel of the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, Australia, community members, & 1st responders as they recover from the recent stabbing.
Hate fueld violence is never the answer, regardless of perceived wrongs. There is always a better way.
April 15, 2024 at 3:49 PM
As we enter this quiet Sunday, please keep in prayer all Houses of Worship, especially those in the NY-NJ-PA-CT-DE region who are now at an even higher risk for targeted and hate fueld violence. May their clergy reach out to one another in solidarity and hope. #TVTP #HFV #ClergyStresd
