Americans are busy, and people in ministry are often even busier than most. But the unchecked life, even when lived for God, has real consequences. We can’t push the boundaries of our physical limits forever without feeling the effects.
Today’s podcast is one pastor’s story of how service to God—and the resulting burnout—nearly ruined his life. It is an episode of the second season of the Love Thy Neighborhood podcast. Check out Love Thy Neighborhood wherever you listen to podcasts to hear more stories about the intersection of social action and Christian faith.
Mentioned in this episode: Crosspoint Ministry.

We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop deep relationships to help us grow in the Christian life. Younger believers benefit from the guidance and wisdom of more mature saints as their faith deepens. But too often, potential mentors lack clarity and training on how to engage in discipling those they can influence.
Whether you’re longing to find a spiritual mentor or hoping to serve as a guide for someone else, we have a FREE resource to encourage and equip you. In Growing Together: Taking Mentoring Beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests, Melissa Kruger, TGC’s vice president of discipleship programming, offers encouraging lessons to guide conversations that promote spiritual growth in both the mentee and mentor.
