In this episode, Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock discuss a recent quote that Mark shared that got quite a bit of pushback online: “I’ve never known a pastor to burn out when he was deeply abiding with Christ.” – Richard Blackaby

There’s a difference between struggles and burnout.
Burnout is one of the causes of moral failure in leaders.
Your rest is not found in cessation of activities, or in recreational activities. Your rest must be found in Christ.
If you’re abiding in Christ, you won’t experience burnout, because Christ will be your strength.
A good diagnostic question: What do you think about when you’re not thinking about anything?
