Summary

The health of the church depends on the health of its leaders.

Whether due to emotional exhaustion, poor choices, moral failures, or stress and fatigue, church leaders are experiencing burnout at higher rates than ever before. In Serving Jesus without Burning Out, Steven A. McKinion and D. Scott Hildreth address some of the most problematic issues facing men and women in church leadership today, including a pervasive lack of rest and barriers to community, authenticity, and personal holiness.

To combat these issues, the authors construct a biblical framework of Christian ministry, prodding readers to consider what is driving their work of ministry. Then they recommend the importance of seeking continual spiritual growth and holiness in ministry. Finally, McKinion and Hildreth issue a warning to those who might make ministry an idol, urging Christians to do ministry for Christ and in Christ.

Serving Jesus without Burning Out helps ministers to survive, and even thrive, in the challenges and blessings of Christian ministry.
