Coping With Stress and Burnout in Youth Ministry: A conversation with Carmen Renee Berry | Youth Specialties | All about youth ministry.

"Before long, unless we begin by acknowledging to ourselves that we're living an addictive lifestyle, we'll hit burnout. And something will die."

Keep telling myself the age of twenty-one I shouldn't have experienced this...it's not possible. But that's a lie. It's happened. I hit the bottom. Trying to heal and recover is a hard process of which I am in. It isn't fun, it hurts.

Ministry is my world - my purpose and as it has became harmful based upon the situation...it has shook me and it's terrifying.

The road ahead is uncertain, but one thing is for sure. I have to find my way back.

HOPEFULLY sooner rather than later.
