Overview
Ministry is born in the heart of a Christian leader. Whether in a church or in a secular organization, this calling is a spiritual agreement with God. Burnout does not happen because of the ministry. It's the result of the job and not the calling.
What is it about the job that drives Christian leaders away from their passion in service? The popular, but worn out answer is…it's the activities causing the pressure. Too many responsibilities, too many people to please and an excess of conflicts that need to be solved daily.
The Overwhelmed Servant identifies three mental and emotional behaviors that are the root cause of stress and burnout. You'll discover it's not the job but the “behaviors” behind the job that are the source of pain. You'll learn timeless techniques for prevention, healing and restoration. Most importantly, the stories and lessons in this book bring back to life the hope, love and faith that once fueled your daily joy.
By merging his insights in Clinical Psychology, Christian beliefs and corporate experience, Dr. Rausch has discovered soul-seeking answers about how the business of life is the life of your business. We dare say, “It's Life-Changing!”
