Burnout has long been recognised as an issue, whether in the workforce or in a carer role at home. This article looks at burnout from a Christian perspective, namely that, without Christ, we cannot bear fruit (John 15:4).
"Henri Nouwen shares this outrageously radical antidote to burnout:
“I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. That is the way Jesus came to reveal God’s love. The great message that we have to carry, as ministers of God’s word and followers of Jesus, is that God loves us not because of what we do or accomplish, but because God has created and redeemed us in love and has chosen us to proclaim that love as the true source of all human life.”
