As pastors and ministry leaders, we all know that rest is vital. Yet, how can we experience true rest when it seems unrealistic in our busy ministry lives? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Jess Connolly. Jess and her husband Nick planted Bright City Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Jess has written a number of books, including her latest entitled, Tired of Being Tired. Together, Jess and Jason look at some of the struggles that we have as ministry leaders when it comes to experiencing rest and refreshment. Jess spends some time focusing on the different types of exhaustion that we experience in ministry and provides some helpful insights on how we can create sustainable rest in our ministry lives.

Jess Connolly on the importance of having open and truthful discussions about spiritual exhaustion and fatigue: "We need to have honest conversations about what spiritual exhaustion and spiritual fatigue look like."
Jess Connolly on the significance of acknowledging and addressing emotional exhaustion rather than perpetuating a culture that rewards its concealment: "One reason why emotional exhaustion is so easy to mask is because we praise people for it."
