Insight 235: FaithSoaring Churches Recognize Burnout in Leaders

Congregations seeking to transform can recognize burnout in their leadership. This includes lay leaders, staff, and the pastor. They realize they cannot take the next steps forward with these leaders without them having a time away to renew themselves and with a refreshed spirit return to address the challenges of transformation once more.
