As someone teetering on the verge of burnout, this substack hit hard. You describe the tension I try to articulate between different aspects of my job, and how the creative aspects are work, but they fill my cup. When these opportunities get pushed aside to make room for the less creative aspects, burn out feels closer.
Needed this today brother. I love how you talk about God, here and in your book. Thank you for pushing me to think think deeper and bigger about my relationship with Him.
There was a time that writing a devotional definitely seemed like work. So I quit writing. Used the death of my mother as an excuse. A few years later I felt the Spirit telling me it was time to start writing again. I came up with excuses not to do it. My answer was what if it is an act of daily worship and the Spirit said I would receive help.
These are helpful words for a stressed pastor, thanks, Trey.
