Protecting Your Life & Ministry from Burnout - Juanita Campbell Rasmus - 23 FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry
-
- Christianity
In ministry, what are we supposed to do when we feel the bottom has fallen out of our lives? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Juanita Campbell Rasmus as she shares from her own experience of what she calls "the Crash" and what her counselor calls a major depressive episode. Juanita is a pastor, a spiritual director, a nonprofit founder and a writer. Together, Jason and Juanita look at some of the warning signs that we, as pastors and ministry leaders, need to be on the lookout for to make sure we don't spread ourselves too thin. Juanita also shares some important practices that can help center us in Christ and help us avoid burnout, or maybe tapping out of ministry altogether.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:
Juanita Campbell Rasmus on a healthy understanding of sacrifice as ministry leaders: "Sacrifice means understanding our assignment, because the sacrifice at times is going to be the sacrifice of saying no when the crowd wants us to say yes.... Sacrifice for us, as leaders, means we invest enough time with God that we're able to stand in the places that are uncomfortable."
Juanita Campbell Rasmus on making time for rest and recreation: "When you don't schedule time for fun and play, for recreation, in whatever ways that are life-giving to you, you're setting yourself up for fall, for disappointment certainly, and in my case, a diagnosis"
Juanita Campbell Rasmus on ministering with a mental health diagnosis: "What I came to realize in the course of learning to live with a mental health diagnosis, learning to live with panic attacks, is recognizing that I was going to need a team to help me get to a place of orientation after the rug had literally been pulled from under my feet."
