There is hope\u2026</p>\n<p>\nWe suffer burnout because we overwork ourselves. We suffer burnout when we experience\ndisappointment, betrayal, and rejection. We suffer burnout as we fall short of our own expectations.</p>\n<p>\n\u00a0No one who dares venture great things escapes burnout symptoms.</p>\n<p>But we don\u2019t\nhave to succumb to burnout or let it destroy our ministry calling.\nWhen I feel the pressure of where I must be next, I am learning to capture myself in this day\nand try to give God my tomorrow. When I sense that someone needs ministry from me, I do not\nassume that I was preordained to be their answer, just the servant who points them to the One\nwho is the answer. I am learning to reset my expectations upon miracles, signs, and wonders\naccording to God\u2019s good pleasure. I am learning that most healing is a process, not a\ndestination. Most of all, I have been learning that God is a good Father \u2013 not a slave master. He\nis the patient, loving Abba who sees me as His beloved child.\nWhether you recognize that you are approaching burnout, have reached it, or simply want to\nlearn how to establish healthy life habits to avoid letting it impact your ministry, this book is for\nyou.\nA retired Pastor of 25 years, a retired Chaplain with 33 years of military service including\ndeployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, Dr. Chris Bassett also spent ten years as a Police Chaplain\nand 15 years as a Sheriff\u2019s Deputy, Detective, and Master Police Officer.
