The Causes of Pastoral Burnout

A lack of health or other challenges to the sort of chemical balance in your brain can trigger pastoral burnout. Sometimes a pastor, you don't have the luxury of doing that when they're writing a herd on a difficult pastoral challenge. You just being involved later is not an option. It doesn't matter what's happening at your dinner table and it doesn't matter how things are going in the world right then. We tend to be those shepherds who leave the 99 to go after that one.
